Looking for information about HTML5 output JavaScript interactions

I am just in the process of doing some basic evaluation.  If anyone can point me in a general direction that would be really helpful.

We are wanting to produce eLearning courses with Captivate.  These will be used in a CUSTOM built LMS.  Embedded into a web and mobile app.

While I know this can be done with SCORM, the HTML5 output from Captivate would be much better.

Changes to the JavaScript etc, would be fine, however I would prefer these to be minimized.

Basically, I want to be able to:

  1. Is there a JavaScript event model (and is there documentation for it somewhere)
  2. Can I present a course starting on a specific page (ie the last page the user looked at)
  3. Can I set specific details for a page when I load them.  Think user interactions that have been completed before.

I really just don't even know where to look for information.  If there are any specific keywords I can search, that may help.

    There is a site that semi-documents the events.

    Learn about the Common JavaScript interface for Adobe Captivate

    You would need to log the event.Data for each to see what information is available.

    If your LMS is not SCORM, then you would need to write code to handle tracking.

    I don't know what you mean by your last question? Can you elaborate a little?

    SCORM is just a standard API to communicate with a database, as well as other things.

    Thanks.   I did find that page with after some searching.  It is proving to be helpful, however, may need to change some of the core js stuff.

    Does the HTML5 output have the same JS hooks as SCORM?
