"Course Object Title" bar to the left of E-learning package

[G-Whitt]

Hi there,

I am new to the E-learning environment and have uploaded my first Captivate-created project to my company's LMS for testing. The course all works as it should, however there is one issue. To the left of the project there is a grey box that displays the title of the module and 'Course Object title' which seems to reflect the SCORM manifest, as seen below.

My company uses a Cornerstone-based LMS and I have not seen this issue in any other courses published in the test environment. I have only been able to find details of how to remove a similar issue in courses published with Moodle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What you are seeing is the Table of Contents or TOC that is created by the LMS after reading the information in your imsmanifest.xml file.

The manifest tells the LMS the name of the course and the names of all SCOs in the course.  It appears your course is named Introduction to Sales and Service but contains only one SCO, for which you have not specified a SCO module name in the Manifest dialog inside the Captivate UI.

A TOC like this is usually redundant unless your course will have multiple modules that your learner will need to navigate.  I would say that if you have not seen this TOC in other courses then your LMS administrator has set those courses up in some way that means the TOC is not used.

Thanks for the clarification Rod.

The course has been created as a linear experience without any 'modules' as such - so yes, this TOC is not needed or desired.

Should I speak to my LMS administrator to have this removed, or is there something I can do within the Captivate file to prevent this from showing up in the LMS?

[RodWard]

Yes you need to speak with your LMS Administrator.  Typically there will be some settings they can change about how the course is displayed so that the TOC does not appear.

My LMS administrator was a little puzzled by this too, however it turns out that the issue was related to the SCORM standard I was using. I simply changed from 2004 to 1.2, re-published the course and the bar was gone.

Cornerstone published an update in 2015 that will resolve this for SCORM 2004, but you must request that the fix be enabled on your account via GPS.
