Question: Can I Force Users to Complete Captivate Lessons in Order?
We are putting together Captivate training courses that will consist of multiple modules. We would like each module to have a pre and post test. We need to have a results page after each quiz and a total of all quizzes at the end of the entire training program. If the subject fails the post quiz we want them to review the material again before heading to the next module. Is this possible?
Answer
If your Captivate lessons are going to be individual projects, including the quizzes/assessments, your best bet is to use a Learning Management System (LMS) that features lesson prerequisites and lesson ordering (I cannot imagine an LMS that doesn't offer both of these features standard). For instance, in my LMS, I can force the learner to take specific lessons in order. In addition, I can set it up so that if the learner doesn't pass a test, they cannot move to the next lesson until they take a previous lesson (and then take, and pass, the same test.
While you can set up much of this in Captivate using branching links to other projects, it really works best if handled through an LMS (especially if you need to track user success/fail rates and award certificates).
