Question

Good morning all,

I am new to this discussion forum and am hoping to get some pointers with Adobe Captivate. I searched for information on Lotus Domino but nothing came up.

I am a Lotus Notes Domino developer and look after our Lotus Domino intranet here. I have been asked to evaluate Adobe Captivate with a view to publishing eLearning content on our intranet.

I am planning to download the trial verison to take a look. But before I start I thought I would just ask a few basic questions and hopefully tap into some of the expert knowledge out there.

Hence, once content has been created, can it be published on a Domino Intranet .. ? Or is a link created to it somewhere .. ?

Also, a requirement is to be able to keep track of who has accessed the content, course results, pass/fail rates etc .... from what I have read initially I believe that this aspect is possible but any further info will be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance for any help and I am looking forward to trying the product soon.

Regards

    H DominoDev, and welcome to the Captivate user forum.

    Captivate content is usually published as HTML+SWF+JavaScript files (though there are other output options). I'm not really familiar with Lotus Notes Domino, but if it works pretty much like a web server, then you should be able to just upload the published files to your intranet and link to the HTML file to allow users to launch the content in their web browser.

    If you want to be able to track user interaction with the content, then you need to investigate Learning Management Systems (LMS for short) and SCORM (the "language" that allows Captivate courses to communicate with LMSs).  I don't know if Lotus has one of these LMSs in their arsenal, but there is no shortage of such systems available.  If you want to look at an open-source option, try Moodle (www.moodle.org).  It's very popular.

    Hi,

    Many thanks for the info. Most useful.

    I plan to download the trial in the next week or so and take a good look around the product and see if I can access it via out Intranet.

    That will be a good start. As for other products to collate access, results etc .... that will need some more investigation as to the best way forward.

    Will be back here soon with more queries no doubt ..!!

    Have a good New Year.

    Regards
