Unless you tick this box you cannot configure anything that will allow you to integrate your published content with an LMS or reporting mechanism of any kind. As mentioned above, leave it off while developing content because otherwise each time you test publish it will go looking for the SCORM API and that will just slow things down in your development workflow.
From this drop-down list you select the type of LMS you will be using. It requires that you have your own web server set up to serve PHP pages that will accept reporting data. This drop-down selects the LMS integration standard that will be used to transfer data between the course module and the Learning Management System. These are both required fields. The Version field specifies a number that the LMS can use to differentiate between manifests with the same Course Identifier.
The Duration field is optional. If you select this the values are automatically populated by calculating the total playing duration of all slides. However, this may not be a good guide in all cases because some courses take a lot longer to complete because slides use more interactivity. So, if your LMS is displaying this field as a guide for learners, you may need to modify the values to give a more accurate guide as to how long users will need to allow for completion. You may want to consider this if your LMS has special requirements and you have someone that can program these custom modifications for you.
If your LMS servers tends to bog down or even crash when too many users are accessing e-learning courses, then consider using the SendTrackingDataAtEnd template. It delays sending tracking data to the server until the end of the quiz, which can significantly reduce load on the LMS. This configures how the LMS will determine whether the user completed your course module. This is really dependent on the structure of your content, but I personally prefer to have it determined by passing a quiz, even if that only amounts to the user clicking a button at the end of the module.
Again, this is dependent on your specific circumstances, but I usually go with Quiz is Passed. Some LMSs will not terminate the course unless they get some kind of a score, even if it is just 1 point.
This dialog is reached via the Advanced button at the bottom of the Quiz Reporting screen. This option gives you the ability to specify whether or not Captivate will ping the LMS with interaction data every time a user visits and completes a slide. I recommend you leave this off as it just adds more load to the LMS.
This box controls whether or not your course will support LMS bookmarking. In a somewhat counter-intuitive interface design, you select this box to turn off bookmarking. Issues with this kind of bookmarking account for a huge number of posts on the Adobe Captivate Forum. I recommend you first try having this one set to on. In theory it should mean that once your users have successfully completed a course module they would be allowed to view it from the beginning again should they open it another time.
Without this setting, a user re-entering the module after completion might be taken immediately to the final slide of the published file.
In the case of AICC, a lot of interaction data is transferred via the URL query strings and there are sometimes characters that get passed along in the URL which need to be escaped in order for reporting to work. But your mileage might vary. So what do we mean by LMS bookmarking and why would anyone choose not to use it? The SCORM standard specifies a way for LMSs to know at what specific point in a course the user decided to bail out and do something else more interesting.
This mechanism is called Suspend Data also known as Resume Data. When this happens, the default position of the LMS people is to say that the issue is with your content, not their LMS.
They hate it when you do this, but it usually forces them to come to the table and give you better information as to why their LMS is having issues. Sometimes they will even give you access to their own technical people to help resolve the issue. But they only do this as a last resort when you have proven that another LMS with an excellent reputation for quality i.
Setting up Preferences in Adobe Captivate. Global vs. Once you know your PC is set up correctly to work with Captivate and the application itself has been installed correctly without issue, the temptation is to just dive in and start work.
But before embarking on serious e-learning development you should set your Preference options. Take a look at the screenshots below of the same section of the Preferences dialog. General preferences.
