I only have the SWF file and HTML5 output, how can I control it?

Picture this: A client gives me two zipped archives; one archive has a SWF file and another has HTML5, JS, and CSS. Both were published after checking "Scorm 1.2" in the reporting tab in Captivate. I'm just one developer and all I have at my disposal is html, javascript, and css.

Is it possible for me for resume progress? Send quiz scores to my web service? Control playback?

Correct answer RodWard

You mentioned working with the Captivate output itself to access Resume Data and scoring information. Any examples of that in both SWF and HTML5 would seriously further my goals.


If you're already a programmer, I suggest you talk to these guys: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/elearning-technology-and-development

>"resume progress?"

I am unsure I understand.

Unless you see a .cpt or .cptx file(s), you do not have the source files, so that means that you cannot edit any of the Captivate content.

>"Send quiz scores to my web service? "

That depends on whether or not there are quiz score results being recorded and that you have a SCORM 1.2 complient LMS.

>Control playback?

If there is a playbar, then yes you can. Again, not sure I understand what you are asking.

1. If Self Paced Learning is checked, a user is prompted to start off at their last visited slide. If you're using an LMS, this feature isn't accessible to you. Is there a way I can emulate it?

2. Yes quiz score results are being recorded. I don't have a SCORM 1.2 compliant LMS, I'm building one, which begs the question, how do those LMS's get the reporting data out? JavaScript?

AICC and SCORM reporting is done through javascript.

You are building a LMS? Which one? Please don't tell me you are doing this from scratch.
