Question

New to Captivate, LMS & SCORM

I'm fairly new to the use of captivate and LMS/SCORM. My first attempt was to use Menu Builder and individual files linked, but the LMS didn't recognize that as a valid SCORM project.

My question I guess is how do I take 20 some lessons (some with over 200 slides) and get them so all of them count for SCORM and the LMS? Is there a specific way to do that in Captivate - other than utilzing the branching technique?

Thanks.

I believe that the link I posted earlier leads to a free tool:-

The only problem is I don't have Dreamweaver - so if there's an alternative outside of there that's free, that would be extremely helpful.

SCORM does not allow for you to build links between projects like this. The
proper method is for you to scrap the menu Builder and utilise the menu that
(ugly) menu that the LMS provides. You upload the full suite of lessons as a
package.

If you have Authorware, it has a built-in SCORM packager that will create
the package for you. IF not, I heard about Reload recently - I've not tried
it, but it is supposed to be good http://www.reload.ac.uk/

Wondering if the Dreamweaver packager might help here. Click here
