Office 365

Good morning to all,

I created a few projects in Captivate and I would like to see if there is a way to run them using any of the Office 365 apps.

The ideal would be to be able to create a link and distribute the link for people to interact.

I do not need tracking data or scores at this time, just to be able to run the project.

Would you give me a hand with this?

Thank you!

Carlos

As Lieve said, Captivate publishes to HTML5.  So all people really need in order to view the content is a web browser.  If you're on Office 365, you should have EDGE browser, which is a pretty decent HTML5-compatible browser.

But your content should ideally be sitting on a web server somewhere that your people can link to.  HTML5 e-learning content consists of a lot of related files spread over several folders.  So you really don't want to try and send all those files to people.  They should just be pulling it down from the web the same way they look at other content on the internet.

    Thank you for your replies.

    I used to store the files in a Sharepoint folder and from there created a link so people could play/run the tutorial.

    Does Office 365 have a better "web server" than Sharepoint?

      AFAIK Sharepoint is not a real webserver, but I may be wrong. There are a lot of free webservers available.

      Office 365 doesn't have a web server, or even a file server for that matter.  It's not a server but a suite of desktop programs designed for office tasks.

      If you have the right version of the Windows Operating System, it may comes with a local web server (e.g. Internet Information Services or IIS), and you can also purchase this thing standalone for specific web server needs:

      Home : The Official Microsoft IIS Site

      But in reality, it doesn't make a lot of sense for most people to do this when there are perfectly good open-source web servers like Apache Server.

          Office has no apps that can run Captivate output.

          Captivate published files (to HTML, do not use to SWF anymore) are meant to be deployed on a web server, They are like a website. You can install a webserver on your system (WAMP, XAMPP).  Or you can upload to SCORM Cloud and test from there. If it is only for your sake, use Preview HTML in Browser (for a non-responsive project) or Preview Project (for a responsive project).
