Question

Software Simulation - CP2019 (version 11)

I have recorded a few training mode simulations and edited them. I would like to publish them as videos, and I did that. The issue is that videos don't allow user interaction, it just plays the training simulation as if its a Demo.

Besides publishing the Training Mode Simulations as HTML, how else can I publish them and still keep user interaction.

    Hi there

     

    If you desire an "interactive video" where your content is in video format, you might consider checking out TechSmith Camtasia. This product allows for that operation.

     

    However, note that if you were to choose this route, the ability to have the interactive video is only provided by using the associated "Smart Player" supplied to allow your viewers to watch the video.

     

    Cheers... Rick 🙂

    Rick, you know very well that a Training simulation, whether scored or not, is different from an interactive video. Captivate also allows to create interactive videos,  but that was not the question.

    Ahhh, you have no idea how sorry I am that I dropped in to try and help.

     

    Now, assuming you are finished chewing, if you will kindly hand my head back I'll leave you be and stop being a pest and troubling everyone. 😞

    By defintion a video fromat is PASSIVE. If you want interactions you need to publish to HTML (or to SWF until the end of the Flash Player support this year).

    Thank you so much Lilybiri.

    A follow up question.

    I published the training mode simulation to HTML from my machine and sent the link to my colleague, but it didn't play.

    It only plays on my machine...

    (I'm still learning.)

    The link you sent to them is probably only pointing to the HTML file on your own computer.  They're not going to be able to link directly to your computer.  You need to learn a little more about how the internet works and why you need to upload published content to a web server or an LMS so that other people can view the content.
