Question

provide course content as HTML5 preventing the ability of downloading the course

Dear All,

right now I am struggeling hard with publishing a course using Captivate. What I need to have is provide course content (imported from Powerpoint into Captivate) as HTML5 only. I don´t want the learners being able to download course content. The goal should be giving learners access to my course within their Browser only. I tried this with moodle, but moodle - as far as I know - wants me to upload my course as a file. But then learners are able to download the course right? I really have no idea how to solve this issue. Do I even need a LMS to acchieve this?

I appreciate your input, thanks a lot in advance....

    A published cptx output to HTML5 leads to a folder which, after upload to a webserver or a LMS, acts like a website.  It will be launched from an index.html file in case of upload to a webserver. One of the functionalities of the LMS is to manage the user accounts, and allow access only to registered users.

    Hello Lilybiri,

    thank you for your response. I am missing something here for sure. If I click on publishing to my computer within captivate without creating a .zip file. If I then click on viewing the output the index.html file I can see the course content within my Browser. The URL shows something like "localhost: ....". How can I put this into a LMS? Maybe also nice to know, I use the testversion of Captivate and the testversion of moodlecloud.

    Thank you so much for your support

    You need to upload the complete output folder to a webserver (I use Filezilla). That folder doesn include the index.html file. Whether you need to zip the folder depends on the webserver. In the eLearning community (elearning.adobe.com) if you want to upload a published course you need to zip. On my domain that is not necessary. The learner needs only to know the URL to the index.html file. Here is a link to one of the Captivate tutorials I also included in my blogsite:

    http://www.lilybiri.com/published/StopWatch/index.html

     

    In that example I use a subfolder 'published' on my domain as webserver. That webserver needs to support JSON protocol.

     

    A similar approach when you upload to a LMS, which will be more secure since only users with an account on the LMS will be able to reach the course.
