Time on Report

I'm new to Captivate, and I can't seem to find a way to track the time that the participant has been on the course or quiz. Does anyone have a solution, or can they point me somewhere to help me find a solution? The timer widgets are swf files and are not a feasible solution.
Thank you.

    Timer interaction works perfectly iin HTML5 output, have used it multiple times for clients. Whoever told you it is not working gave you wrong information.

    Often I combine it with tracking the time using system variables. More information in:

    You will have to find a solution to get access to the value of the variables, whether the learner has access to a LMS or not.

    Thanks, Lily. I don't know how I missed this.
    I looked over your blog. It's the "real time" that I need, and if I read it correctly, was done by a timer widget.
    "The real time is visible at the bottom, next to my name. I used the Timer widget for the real time." As of now, the timer widgets are swf files, (I checked with Adobe support to confirm this.), so that won't work. I'm anxious to see Captivate update.

    Thank you for all your blogs and tutorials. You are, indeed, a wealth of knowledge.

    There is now a Timer (and Hourglass) interaction. Both are compatible with HTML5 output. 

    I have a new blog about showing time with a HTML output example:

    I would use the functionality that you can usually find in your LMS. Typically this might be called a completion report, which would report on which users have completed a course versus not. Usually, the time spent in the eLearning is included in such a report as well. Check with your LMS vendor if they have such a report by default or if they can create a custom report for you. This information is part of the standard information that SCORM reports to an LMS.

    Thanks, Paul. We do have that functionality on  our LMS. However, I also need to set someting up for students that are not enrolled on a LMS course. I was hoping that there would be a way to do this.
