Jumping between modules in Captivate prime

Hi

I'm working in Captivate Prime and trying to set up an action that, if someone gets a particular question wrong, will jump them back to the previous module in the course. Any ideas on how to do this? Maybe it isn't possible!

Many thanks for any thoughts.

This is not likely to be possible with normal LMS behaviour.

In SCORM courses a SCO module is not supposed to link directly to another SCO module.  The LMS is supposed to control what happens when each SCO terminates.

So unless the Captivate Prime LMS provides some way to configure the navigation so that failing a given module will relaunch the previous module, then I don't see a way to achieve what you want to do.

Hi Rod

Thanks for the quick reply. Very helpful and pretty much what I suspected. From what I can see so far Prime does not offer a way to configure this- which makes sense if it conflicts with normal SCORM behaviour.

Correct.  The extra functionality added in SCORM 2004 does provide for a certain amount of flexibility in the form of rules to govern the way users work their way through the course modules.  However, this requires custom programming of these rules into the imsmanifest.xml file.

Captivate's Multi-SCORM Packager tool doesn't really allow you to do anything very sophisticated in this area.  And even if it did, most LMSs wouldn't be able to handle it because they all expect the vast majority of courses to be simple linear structures.
