a way to designate last slide so LMS knows course is completed?

Hi all,

I think another user has asked the same question here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/432385?tstart=0 but there aren't any responses yet. I thought I'd try just in case I'm asking something different than what the user meant.

I need to find a way for Captivate to designate a slide as the end of the project/chapter so the LMS knows that the user has completed the course. In my case, it will always be the second last slide of a project that needs to have that information sent to the LMS (the last slide of the chapter is really just a "thank you" slide with no learning information) I thought perhaps I can add some sort of script to the "next" button (execute Javascript) but of course I'm a complete n00b and have no clue about scripts.

I would think that the LMS would KNOW that the chapter is completed when the user gets to the last slide but maybe I'm expecting too much out of the LMS!

Any thoughts, suggestions, solutions?

Thanks!

    HI there

    As I understand it all you really need is a single Button on the slide. You are able to configure the Button as being scorable. When an object is scorable it is transmitted back to the LMS.

    I'm assuming you need something along the lines of a simple acknowledgement something has been viewed. Perhaps for SOX compliance or some such.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    Thanks, I'll test it out today - just to clarify, by 'scorable' you mean to go to the button properties and "Include in Quiz" so it's reported to the LMS?

    Thanks again!
