    Captivate 3 send Quiz and Results via email

    Rich McN Community Member

      I created a Quiz in Captivate 3. Upon completion of the quiz I would like to have all the questions which were answered and the results emailed to me in PDF (or word if possible). In Captivate 3 I can receive an email with the pass/fail completion scores etc. This is not enough information. I need to know which questionss were answered in order to get back to the person who took the quiz and give them further assistance. We have Adobe Connect Pro, but did not purchase the LMS. Can this be done without an LMS? Can this be done in Captivate 4?

          Short answer: no

          Longer: Search and read through these forums for all the issues surrounding email. Not only is it not terribly reliable but it's also not terribly customizable.

          You could possibly do what you need if you've got some Javascript folks there who can parse through the Captivate HTML/JS files and modify them to output interaction data to the email... To do that, I suspect you'd have to setup the lesson to work with SCORM, but then modify the resulting published HTML/JS files to redirect all SCORM API calls to some other functionality that would instead insert the desired information into an email.

           

          It may be better to just get an LMS. ;-)

           

          I think I've seen an article somewhere on Adobe's site, likely by Andrew Chemey, that discussed modifying the published files to send data to a standard database instead of an LMS...so maybe that would be an option, or that could be a base article for modifying the code to work with email. Worth a search of Adobe's site, I suspect.

          HTH!
