Question

captivate 9 - save or export the text from a textbox.

Hi,

I'm using captivate 9.  I would like to get the user's/student's reflections on a topic, and store them for later marking or surveys etc.

Is there a way to do this?  It would not be possible to mark this at the time as the student's response will be free text to show their ideas.

Kind regards,

riesa

      I suppose you are talking about a Text Entry Box, not about a text caption?

      Each TEB has an associated variable. Some LMS's will get variables in the reporting, but not all of them. You can also use JS to get the value of the variables and report them that way.

      eg if I have a slide where I say to the user "what did you think of that last video, record your reflections briefly below", then do I make a variable that says if the box is not empty somehow copy and save the contents and go to the next slide etc?

      i want to be able to look back on the studen'ts comments later. I'm sure I can't be the only one.  This must have been done before me.

      oh, i didn't see that. I have been using scorm 1.2


      They are in the scormdiver.js file.

      You would execute JavaScript, with strComment = your comment you want to store.:

      SCORM_WriteComment (strComment )
