To publish Captivate projects for the SCORM standard:
- Create your Captivate project.
- Add interactivity, such as questions or click box, push buttons, or text-entry fields. (Do not skip this step or your content will NOT be SCORM compliant and will always record a “successfully completed” status)
- Select Movie > Quiz Manager from the menu.
- Check Enable Output Options in the Quiz Manager dialog box.
- Click the SCORM option.
- Click the Manifest button, select SCORM 1.2 or 2004 and edit the fields that are appropriate for your file.
- Click OK to close the Quiz Manager dialog box.
- Select File > Publish from the menu (or use the shortcut key Shift+Ctrl+P or click the Publish button on the button bar).
- In the Publish dialog box, make sure “Export HTML” and “Zip Output” are selected
- Click the Publish button.
- After you publish, the resulting zip file should contain a number of files:
Content HTM file: File used to launch the content from your LMS
Content SWF file: File generated from your Captivate project that represents your content
SCORM_support folder: Used to help track to the SCORM standard at runtime
IMSManifest.xml: Describes the course hierarchy and structure; used to import the Captivate file into your LMS
XSD files: A number of files used during the import process into your LMS
