Using Captivate with SharePoint

I apologize in advance, the "search within this forum" function is not working, so I can't search the Captivate forum to see if this question has already been answered.

When you develop training and quizzes in Captivate, I've heard you can post the files on SharePoint, and then SharePoint will capture the student information and quiz results. Has anyone successfully done this just using a standard SharePoint site, and not the SharePoint LMS that is offered?

Has anyone gotten captivate 4 scorm output to work with this sharepoint LMS solution?

Either the free sdk or the commercial sharepoint LMS product?

I'm particularly interested if anyone is getting their flv's to work.. We've got several very nice (and large) trainings created in captivate 4, but not having any luck getting the scorm 1.2 output to work on moodle 1.9 (content works, just not the flv's). I've spent far too many hours trying to troubleshoot this, am now months behind schedule, and need to make a change to get it up and running asap, even if that means going to a new LMS server, or abandoning captivate as authoring tool.

Any success stories with using captivate 4 and outputting scorm 1.2 with working flv's would be appreciated.

We never did get it to work. I don't know if I would abandon Captivate before I would abandon moodle though as I'm not sure how powerful moodle is.

Thanks for the feedback, it's always good to know I'm not the only one! I agree that we did not want to give up the captivate as my wife is already used to it and has created at least a dozen courses in it, but I was at the end of my patience.

I must've spent at least 50-60 hours over the last 2 months trying to get the captivate/moodle solution running correctly. Always seems to just aallmost get there, but not quite all the way.

I finally got fed up and started looking at other solutions. I took the same original captivate 4 scorm 1.2 file I had generated (before the dozens of other test ones) and was up and running from scratch in less than an hour, including the flv's! using a new online solution from Rustici software, Scorm Cloud - http://scorm.com

Required no server install, setup or anything, just created an account and uploaded my scorm file!

They offer a free 100mb test, and their pricing seems reasonable. I would've paid a 6 months subscription fee just to avoid the headaches!

The interface and presentation far outclasses the moodle solution.

I'll be doing some additional production research, but at first look of their test site, it seems exactly suited to my small 2 dozen course requirements.

I would highly recommend that others having a headache give it a look.

Enjoy!

The SharePoint Learning Kit (SLK) is designed to provide a full blown LMS inside of SharePoint and it's free.

SharePoint Learning Kit is a SCORM 2004 certified e-learning delivery and tracking application built as a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 solution. It works with either Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and has the following core features:

Supports SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, and Class Server content, allowing users to store and manage this content in SharePoint document libraries.
Supports learner-centric and instructor-led (assigned) workflows.
Allows assignment, tracking and grading of both e-learning and non-e-learning content.

Hope that helps,

Hi there

I'm one of the forum moderator helpers. I noticed you said the search wasn't working? I just tested and it's working fine for me. Possible hiccup?

Anyhoo, I stand to be corrected on this, but I don't believe SharePoint offers any LMS like functions. I believe it's a simple file sharing system. Perhaps what you saw was a report where someone used an LMS within SharePoint somehow?

Hopefully someone with more SharePoint knowledge will chime in here.

Cheers... Rick

I think the search function not working is something with our internet browser here at work, because it works fine at home.

Here's the weblink I have on the MS SharePoint-based LMS.

Hello again

The link you pointed us to appears to be for a product you may purchase that installs a LMS on SharePoint, where presumably, you can then use SharePoint content in a LMS fashion.

This seems to substantiate my understanding that SharePoint in and of itself has nothing that facilitates capturing the information. It seems to require a third party solution.

Cheers... Rick
