Put Captivate 2019 into Moodle as a Resource

I have created a course that does not have any SCORM and want to put this into Moodle as a resource. I am looking at the instructions in Moodle and it says to publish to the web. But when I go to Publish, there is no option for Web. Under Preview there is a feature for live preview on devices. But not sure where I would save the file to. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dguiett,

     

    I would recommend you 2 things in order of preference;

    1) publish a scorm zip package with reporting enabled , but your completion criteria being sildeview/or user access.

    You can access it under preferences<quiz<reporting

    2) you publish a regular HTML5 zip,then unzip it and then choose index.html to be your main file to launch content. You can find similar instructions on this link:

    Thank you for this information. I have the zip file and dropped it into Captivate. Here is the message that I got.  I have no idea where the required parameter would go as there was no information when I did the download. Because I am doing a grad and drop I am not checking any information in the course work. When I tried to add this into Captivate as a folder, it gave me a message that this was too big of a file. By chance, do you know what the size limit for a file is?

     

    I will wait for your reply, this is definitely a positive response.

    Thanks to your screenshots I figured out:

    1.  Instructions from Moodle are hopelessly outdated. Flash player is dead since years. It only points to non-responsive projects whereas Captivate allows to create responsive projects since almost a decade.
    2. You have created a responsive project, probably with Fluid Boxes? Can you confirm, please?
    3. Moreover Captivate creates eLearning courses, not presentations like PPT.

     

    You wrote 'doesn't have any SCORM', which is bit confusing. I suspect that you didn't insert any quiz slide nor scored object? Even in that case you could create a SCO, which is output with Reporting, based on slide visits. But I suppose you don't want to do any reporting to the gradebook of the LMS. 

    In your case, use Publish for devices (not (app)). Since you don't have Reporting activated in Quiz Preferences, you will get an output folder to HTML5. Moodle doesn't tell if that folder needs to be zipped or not? Again those directions are very confusing. You will not have SWF files, because they are incompatible with HTML output, but you can have a lot of subfolders depending on the content of your project. What you need to be pointing at will probably be the index.html file which is normally what you include in an URL for any website.

    I did not use any fluid boxes and am including what the course looks like.

    Even your last screenshot shows clearly that you are in a responsive project, but indeed you didn't use any Fluid Box, which is catastrophic. You just didn't choose the correct type when starting this project. You would have needed what is labeled as 'Blank Project' (which is a non-responsive project) but you did choose 'Responsive project'.

    Bad news, because there is no easy way to convert a responsive project to a non-responsive project. 

    Did you put everything on one slide? OMG! You are very new to Captivate, correct? The video was inserted as Event video, not as slide video (and should be on the next slide). That slide is awfully long: why? I don't see the complete timeline, maybe you have audio in the first 40secs?  I see a Next button at the top of the stack, so there are multiple slides?
