Hi I want to publish a single slide interactive diagram to Moodle. All it contains are HTML rollover states that bring up caption boxes. I’ve just started to use Adobe captivate 2019. I thought it would be a simple task.
It previews fine.
When I publish using the swf/HTML option Moodle won’t upload the zip file and gives me a message ‘incorrect file package – missing ims manifest.xml or AICC structure.’ which I’m not sure how to fix.
Even though it isn’t a quiz, I changed the preferences so that it exports with SCORM reporting data. Moodle now uploads the file and will play it, but only after several steps e.g. click to go to page, click ENTER button, click to play.
Is there a way to display it as a graphic (in a Moodle book or a lesson) so it appears on screen in its active state?
Also – can anyone tell me what is happening with Flash? Is it gone forever?
Thanks
Moodle is awful
I have no real experience with Moodle, but from what you tell it looks like Moodle is only supporting output files set up as SCO, not simple packages (which is possible with other LMSs).
Please do NEVER publish to SWF and HTML5 anymore. End of this year the Flash Player will officially be dead, and even now many browsers do not have the necessary plugin anymore. Publish ONLY to HTML5
To create a SCO you need to set up Reporting under Quiz Preferences, even though you don’t have a Quiz. You can set the completion criteria to slide views. Or,… maybe better, add an Exit button appearing after having viewed the slide and attach a score to that button. That score can be considered as a ‘quiz’, and you can require a Pass score of 100%.
When you publish the file (HTML5 only), Captivate will automatically zip the output folder and include all files necessary for a SCO. When you upload that zipped file to the LMS, it will handle it correctly.
