For example :

In project 1 : i will introduce the learner to three different client(let's call  selecting client slide). The learner can select one of them and proceed. Once learner completed the selected client again he jump back to 'selecting client slide'. Then, learner will click to other client which i want to make the in other project.(also, is it possible that if learner click to other client he will get jump to the specific project and specific slide)

    Yes, it's possible to branch between 3 different project files.

     

    Let's say you're looking for this:

     

    Course Menu

    1. Lesson 1
    2. Lesson 2
    3. Lesson 3

     

    What's important is that you realize you're branching between the output of three different projects, and not linking the Captivate project files.

     

    That said, you need to work out of order a bit!

     

    Rather than creating a menu structure within the first project, because you don't know where the files will be hosted, you should start with Lesson 1!

     

    You'll need to have a working draft of the lesson, posted to a web server or LMS, so you can link to the finished URL. You can certainly edit and revise these materials, but the URL should not change!

    This means, don't rename the project or change the project name in the publish dialogue, as it will change the name of the HTML file used to access the project. In the dialogue above, the Project Title of "Sample Visio Process Flow Template - v 2_5" would generate an HTML file with that name that would be part of the navigation path between lessons.

     

    Once you have a draft of Lesson 1, repeat for Lessons 2 - 3, then you can begin the process of building the logic needed for the menu in a separate Captivate file!

     

    One benefit of separate files: each lesson can have a quiz within the Captivate file.

    I think it should be mentioned that going this route of using a Menu project is only going to be viable as long as you are NOT intending to have these separate modules be part of a SCORM course that you are intending to upload to an LMS.  Under the SCORM standard each SCO module is supposed to be totally independent and does not call any other SCO directly.

    Do you want to do this within one project, or with three-four different modules?

    It could easily be done in one course, but if you want to branch to different files, and track which courses have been visited, you'll need to use Local storage (for HTML output) or the CpExtra widget to exchange information (variables).
