Multi-SCO & Project-to-Project Navigation

Report · Mar 24, 2016

Hello All -

I've read many various discussions and post on here and have probably confused myself now. With Captivate 8 or 9, is it possible to setup a button on slide 12 of project 2 that would take the learner to slide 8 of project 3? I know from some answers years ago, this was not possible. Just like to know if something like this is possible today and if so if someone can point me in the right direction to learn and execute.

Thanks,

Mike

SCORM doesn't support this.

You could do it if you wanted though. As long as you know the path to the new file, you could pass URL parameters and read those parameters. When the file is ready, listen to the module ready event, you could then jump to slide.

I'm sure if you did this it would break your session in the LMS.

Thanks TLC -

Does publishing to AICC do anything different in this regard since SCORM doesn't support this?

I could compile all slides into one project, but that limits utilizing quizzes for each of the modules and our stakeholders definitely want assessments on each of the modules. Now as far as I've read, I could go manual quiz slides and possibly do this as just one project. The challenge seems to be from a tracking/reporting standpoint.

I don't think it would make a difference.

Technically SCO's are not allowed to know anything about other SCO's. That's why there isn't anything in the DB that even lets a SCO know how many other SCO's there are. They are supposed to be reusable so they shouldn't rely on anything outside of their little domain, with minimal rework.
