Dimension issues with D2L

All,

I am wondering if anyone has had the same issue with the dimensions of a captivate project. I have created an interactive map that IS NOT and Scorm package just interactive and it is not created as a responsive project. I have it set for 1440 x 1080. When i upload it to the LMS (D2L Brightspace) and “add from managed files”. The presentation is much smaller.

If i were to take the index page that Captivate creates and put it on a traditional web server, it is sized just fine so I feel it is an LMS issue and not a Captivate one, but my hope was that someone may have encountered something like this and could shed some light on it.

 

Thank You

That is the problem with most LMSs, they take up too much space for their UI, and this can be catastrophic for some elearning modules. I always publish as Scalable HTML but if the problem is due to the UI of the LMS, that will not help at all. Try to persuade the IT people to reduce the LMS UI as much as possible, which is not always easy.  Why they make it not possible to have a full-screen version of the elearning assets is a mystery to me.

    Thank you everyone for the information and I think Lilybiri is righ that the UI at least for inserting from "mamanged content" doesnt allow for the approprite size. The work around I am doing is since there is no need to report any information, I am hosting the captivate module outside of the LMS and inserting as a link that opens in a new window. This as far as the user is concerned, keeps them in the LMS environment. Hopefully a conversation with IT will make this unecissary in the future.

    Do you have an option in D2L to launch the project in a new window?

    If so, you may be able to properly set the size of the new window to fit the presentation.

     

    Another thought is to publish as scalable so that it can properly adjust to the size of the window it is in.

     

    Hopefully I understood the problem correctly.
