Ok. Your AW program IS NOT using a Learning Management System
(SCORM or otherwise), it is simply writing the user info to a .txt
file located on the user's hard drive in the system32 folder. If
that is all you need for record keeping, that simplifies things.
I would consider making up a menu program with each of the
topics listed. I would create an individual Captivate program for
each topic. One of the topics would be the final exam, and you can
use the E-mail results capability to send the user results to any
mailbox.
This may sound complicated, but one of the main beauties of
Captivate is that it really assumes that the Author is not a
programmer. You can create a template that contains all of your
"static" stuff (backgrounds, navigation buttons if you need them,
etc.) so that you can concentrate on creating new or updating your
"old" AW content.
You may want to pick up IconLogic's Essentials of Captivate 3
or Rick Stone's Tips and Tricks and learn more to help ease your
mind. If you liked AW, you will have no major issue mastering
Captivate.
