Question

Make the student continue from the slide he / she stopped last time (web server)

I need to make sure that the student can continue from the slide where he left off last time, my class is being published in HTML on a common web server, I use a non-LMS system to manage the classes and grades. There would be some way for me to be able to get the value of the note and pass it via js and then when the student logs in I insert this value in the class and send the student directly to the slide on which he stopped.
Obs. I use quiz in class.

Captivate does have the built in feature under Project > Table of contents > settings > self-paced learning.  That will probably accomplish what you are asking.  When you reenter the course, it will display a popup asking to continue where you left off. Unfortunately if you have a course with a large number of slides, your users could encounter problems with the extremely large string stored in the cookie.

 

The system I designed (which sounds like much more than you are asking for) stores the list of completed slides in the database and uses coldfusion and javascript to display a button inside the course asking if the user wishes to continue where they left off.  Which sends them to the next unviewed (and INCOMPLETE) slide, not slides simply started.

Thank you very much for the answer, I tried using the captivate's own function but unfortunately it did not return with the same grade of the quiz in which the student stopped last time, would it be some additional configuration?

Obs. I need it to work even if the student accesses the course through another device or computer.

Captivate's Self-paced Learning feature only remembers which slide the learner reached before they terminated their session.  It has nothing to do with quiz scores and grades. 

 

If what you want is for the learner's score to be captured somewhere regardless of the device they use, then you need to be using an LMS of some kind and have Resume Data Bookmarking turned on in the Quiz settings.

 

However, since you have stated that your content is being delivered from a normal web server you will not be able to use something like Resume Data bookmarking unless you have access to a web-based database and server-side processing.  That's really what an LMS does.
