Question

exporting projects for online users

I have completed about 12 captivate projects that I want to deploy on line. The whole group of projects is a training course that we plan to offer to our customers via the web. I need to publish them correctly and need to link them together with some kind of menu structure. I did publish the individual projects online (I selected flash - with zip file,full screen, and export HTML items enabled) was able to view them but I need the users to be able to select the courses from a menu for viewing. When I get this package working I will be deploying it through an LMS available through Geolearning.....but I'm stuck right now not knowing how to incorporate the menu structure to link everthing together and I'm not sure what choices to make for publishing.

Welcome to our community, capcreator

If you are planning on deploying using a LMS, it's my understanding the LMS actually provides the means the user will open the course from. In other words, it provides the "menu" so you won't need to create one.

It's my understanding that a LMS asks the user to log in so their activity can be monitored. The LMS then serves up the courses the LMS Administrator has assigned for them.

I'm probably being over simplistic here. Hopefully Erik or Andrew or one of the other super LMS savvy folks will pick up on this and add their perspectives.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks for the response. I wish I could talk to an expert to tie some loose ends on these training projects with the links and publishing. This is my first opportunity to use a tool like captivate. my challenge is understand the format terminology - html, swf;etc., to know how bring the project together to create the course. I think if I could spend 15 minutes speaking on the phone with an expert I would be able to get beyond this hurdle. On these forums, does anybody ever volunteer that kind of assistance? I need some quick answers, my deadline is upon me.

Where you able to get this done?  If you contact Geolearning and have them give you access to the Author tools section in GeoEngage you will find a  manual for Captivate 3 and 4 on how to combine SCO's into one course.  then when you launch the course you will see a menu with the separate modules.
