CP for AICC

Jamie,

What you're asking for requires rewriting the Javascript code that Captivate uses to send e-mailed results. This code is embedded in the .htm file Captivate produces when you publish your project.

Making such changes requires a fairly good understanding of Javascript and HTML, so if you're not strong in those areas, then you'll probably want to stop reading now.

Otherwise, there's an article in the Developer Center that touches on how to intercept the default e-mail functionality and modify it for your own use. The specific code is found on page 3 of the article. It's not really what you're looking for, but it does illustrate a method for parsing the default information and reformatting it into something more readable:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/captivate/articles/store_cpresults.html

Using some of the code found in the article and merging it with the default Adobe code, you should be able to come out with what you're looking for.

Hi All

I create questions and have the results emailed but the info is somewhat gobbly gook to me. I see that it is mentioned about LMS and SCORM but what are theses. What I would ideally like is have the result emailed ina usuable format. Any help of education welcome.

goldengopher,

The issue tends to be - if you ask an LMS vendor about integrating Captivate
content, they will tell you it's an Adobe problem; and if you ask Adobe
about integrating into SumTotal, they will tell you its a SumTotal issue...
That's why the amazing folks on this forum really help!

Depends on what version of SumTotal (and what product it was derived from,
since SumTotal has been buying different companies that had an LMS), it
should support both AICC and SCORM (including up to SCORM 2004). They may
have to be purchased seperately - but that's speculation for why it isn't an
easy answer.

Please post to the forum when you get answers (or no answers), so others can
learn. My offer still stands...:)

Regards,

Andrew

Thanks Andrew! Part of the problem is finding out what other 'internal tweaks' were made to the SumTotal LMS. First I was told it would only do AICC. Now I've been told it will do SCORM.
I'm still scratching my head, but might take you up on your offer. Naive, I know, but it seems that SumTotal should know how to make this work-wouldn't you think?

Anyway, thanks again. I'll let you know what I find out.

That's either a compliment - or a way to hand-off the issue (or both) :)

Regardless - I wouldn't have added anything else, than what has originally
been stated. I can provide a file that should work in SumTotal, if you want
to contact me off-list (Andrew AT LearningConsulting DOT com).

Regards,

Andrew

Thanks again rB for the article link-I'll give it a read!

I tried your suggestions, and I also, in the Advanced Interaction page, added the Next button on the title page to : Track Score, Report, Report Answer. But in the LMS after leaving the course, it still shows my course as 'In Progress'.

I'm getting close, but not there yet!

Thanks rB!

The LMS we'ere using is SumTotal Systems. Here's what I was thinking: what if I added the reporting to the first Next button on the title page and click the checkbox Include in Quiz. (Do I also need to click the Report Answers checkbox?)

I also had the Enable Reporting selected in the QMgr. Even if I say the Next button must be selected and is "Included in Quiz", I really don't have to have a quiz-right?

I'll give that a shot-thansk rB!

A specific answer will require more details...what LMS you're using, for starters.

However, the short answer is to make sure at least one interaction is set up (on its "Reporting" tab) to be "Included in Quiz." Then, under the Project menu, select "Quiz Manager." Check "Enable Reporting for this project," and select "AICC."

As I said, that's the short answer. As you discover, there are a lot of other settings you may need to change to get AICC communication to work with your LMS.
