    How to Make uploaded Captivate 3 Course available to students

    I finally got my Captivate 3 course uploaded / imported to aTutor and received message that action was successfully completed.

    However, I do not see the files in File Manager. How do I locate the uploaded course and make it available for students/learners?

    I am using aTutor 1.5 and using Windows XP operating system. Siteground provides the LMS.

    I look forward to your your advice.

    I'm guessing you uploaded it as a SCORM package? in that case you will have to go to manage -> student tools, and activate SCORM packages in the menu or on the homepage.

    Thanks for your response. Since reopening aTutor, I now see the course File Manager.

    However, when I attempt to follow your suggestion, I go to Student Tools - but do not see SCORM packages listed there. Also, I do not see SCORM packages under Home.

    Your help is appreciated.

    ah, good :) the SCORM module is bundled with ATutor but not installed by default, so you need to log in as admin -> modules -> install, then modules -> enable.

    Re: How to Make uploaded Captivate 3 Course available to students

    Sorry, still have a problem. When I log in as Admin - there is no feature of Modules to click on. I have read about Module Development in the Handbook - but somehow I am not able to bring this up when logged in to be able to follow through with the suggestions you made. I am wondering if there is something that was not installed when the web site host installed aTutor -- or if there is something I can do to correct this?

    Thank you.

    If you are logged in as an admin, the second Tab at the top left will be Modules. If its not there, then you are not logged in as an admin.

    Once you've found your way into the admin's module manager, click on the submenu link "Install Modules"

    Thanks. I now have SCORM Packages in the Manage feature.

    The new problem is an error message "Problem with Package Directory" when I attempt to import the course from my PC using "Browse" or using the URL for File Manager. (Previously, I successfully imported the course - currently located in File Manager.)

    What is the meaning of this error message and how do I resolve it?

    Thanks.

    Did you create a sco/ directory as instructed by the installer, and make it writable?

    Re: How to Make uploaded Captivate 3 Course available to students

    Thanks, Greg. The installer created sco/directory - made it writable. I was then able to successfully import the (SCORM package) course. When I viewed the course in aTutor, it moves from slide to slide - but I have PDF files which are connected to each slide - and these are set up to open for additional information before moving to the next slide. This works well in Captivate 3 before it being imported into aTutor - but is not working in aTutor.

    Your advice and suggestions to resolve this is very much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    We'll need to see the captivate content. Attach something small to the thread we can look at.

    I'm not sure what the file is, but it does not appear to be a content package or content object.

    It needs to be a zip file.
