Question

Is it possible to link multiple HTML5 courses together to work as one in Captivate 7?

I have a number of already published courses that need to be linked out of 1 introduction course. All courses are created in Captivate 7 and are all HTML5. I read that I can't use the Aggregator option for HTML5 so I'm hoping somebody can direct me as to a proper way of making this work with HTML5 and SCORM 1.2 for my clients LMS.

Thanks,

Dan

You need to use the Multi-SCORM Packager tool that comes with Captivate to bundle different SCOs into a Multi-SCORM package for upload to your LMS.

Under the SCORM standard one SCO does not call another SCO.   It's up to the LMS to read the imsmanifest.xml file at the root level of the package and then create links in a TOC of some kind in the SCORM Player so that the learner can select each lesson in turn.  Some LMSs have an Auto-Continue setting that will mean each lesson moves to the next after completing.

    Thanks for the reply. I watched a video on this and it looks as though it does exactly what we need it to do. I am left wondering however, after watching this video on how to use the Multi-SCORM Packager tool--> Adobe eLearning Suite Tutorial - Enhanced Multi-SCO Packager - Part 1 - YouTube, if it will interfere with the amount of viewing real estate on the iPad. Our courses have already been scaled to use the entire screen and I don't see where this visual list that's made by the Multi-SCORM Packager tool will fit. Can it just be set as a page onto itself and not located on the top left section of the screen?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    The 'visual list' of links to the content modules in the SCORM package is NOT made by the Multi-SCORM Packager tool. It's the LMS that makes that list and displays it in the SCORM Player that the LMS provides. All the SCORM Packager tools does is bundle the modules together in a single zip file with an aggregated imsmanifest.xml file at the root level that tells the LMS what the links in the SCORM Player TOC should be and where they should point.

    So if the TOC is not working in iPads, that's something to take up with your LMS vendor.
