Hi, I have developed my own private Learning Management System, I use Adobe Captivate for self evaluation tests. I want to know how to export the results and capture that data for each of my students. Can you tell me how to do this please? regards Trevor. www.conquest.com.au

    Trevor,

    Since you want to avoid reinventing the wheel, I would suggest that your programmer simply look into making your LMS SCORM Compliant.  SCORM 1.2 is the simplest version to comply with but most people agree SCORM 2004 version 3 is a better choice because it allows for sequencing rules.

    If you REALLY want your LMS to stand out from the crowd more then by all means look at making it compliant with the newer TinCan xAPI standard.

    Captivate already publishes to all of these standards.  So ensuring your own LMS will work with them means that you can potentially have a larger number of e-learning developers out there that are able to contribute content for your LMS.

    If you've developed your own Learning Management System I would have thought that you should be already able to capture data from an e-learning course delivered from your system.

    Are you saying that you have developed a Learning Management System that is incapable of either delivering online courses or tracking learner interactions?

    Hi Rod, my LMS does capture data and is also a content creation LMS, I am the researcher, writer and production person for our full multimedia training content. I engaged a programmer in 2008 because my original software specification was 70% written (1996) and then the software company dropped the ball, I then purchased an LMS (2000) and when it did not do as promised that company refused to fix the problems, hence I started down my own track to produce a simple to use yet automated system to take care of all the administration of students and government reporting plus make the student side intuitive and self paced, easy to use etc. etc.

    My programmer is very busy working on a key feature in my LMS and has looked at this issue briefly in the past and said it could be done. I just thought I would see if anyone else had solved this issue to save my programmer some time. Here in Australia Registered Training Organisations (RTO) are extremely government regulated.

    I use Captivate solely for self evaluation tests and have used a branching scenario, all good but I often think the templates do not fit my expectations and treatment of students learning. I have developed my own philosophy and methodology of teaching online.

    I recently completed another qualification to test my own methods by studying all the latest digital education to determine if my ways were right, wrong, current etc. Having gained this qualification called in Australia a Graduate Certificate in Digital Education I came to realise there is a lot of digital immaturity and BS out there in Education land.

    Education has turned in to a religion with more experts than real on the ground educators using tried and proven learning techniques.

    I concluded that the way I am teaching is good and better than most in terms of the content production and delivery.

    The ongoing LMS production is also proving to be money well spent. I have won innovation awards here in Australia for having produced online training and we were the first RTO in Australia to have a full multimedia online course for the Telecommunications Industry.

    Feedback from industry RTO consultants said our LMS was very good. I also investigated other LMS's as part of my qualification but did not have a chance to look at the Adobe product which I am sure like all others is a fine product. Sure is plenty of them around these days.

    As part of our ongoing LMS innovation we are Beta testing an addon to verify the student taking a remote test is the student and monitoring the tests live.

    My initial question still remains and I was hoping to get another programmer who might share this data capture with my programmer. The question was to help save some time and not re-invent the wheel. But if there is no one else with this requirement we'll work it out later.

    Thanks for responding Rod, don't hesitate to contact me privately off this forum as I don't wish to cause any more angst with my personal comments. You can find me through my web site at www.conquest.com.au

    cheers

    Trevor
