Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Why does the LMS report a Success criteria of “Unknown” for a quiz that I fail using SCORM 2004?

Hello – I am having a problem using SCORM 2004 when I publish. When a learner fails my quiz, I am getting “unknown” returned as the success status instead of “Failed” in SCORM Cloud. I have a simple 6 multiple choice question quiz that a learner must answer 100% to pass. When the learner gets 100%; when tested, SCORM Cloud reports the following: Completion: Complete Success: Passed Score: 100% Time: whatever it took When the learner fails the quiz and […]

Captivate 2017 Freezing

I am trying to complete a project and every 30 minutes it freezes and tells me it isn’t responding. This is quite frustrating. Any ideas on why this is happening?

How to Show a different slide and its current “states” on rollover

I am attempting to use a smart shape rollover state, or even a standard rollover, on slide “A” to show slide “B” and its current state(s). Slide “B” needs to be visible on rollover in an area on Slide “A”.  (Slide “A” and “B” are in the same project).  It would be preferable to have all functionality available on the Slide “B” “projection” though not mandatory. The purpose is to view “visited” states on Slide “B” within a smaller image area on Slide “A” so the […]

Do I have to create an Advanced Action on the slide I want it copied to or is there an easier way that I am missing?

Moving an interactive object off the stage…can I?

I’m attempting to use JavaScript, on-enter to a slide, to move a button off of the stage and later move it back on when it is needed.  I’m not using show/hide for reasons that aren’t germane to the question I’m asking. I’ve done this before with images…moved them off of the stage with JS “on-enter” and then animated them onto the stage when a button is selected.  I’m actually able to animate the button in question and move it around […]
