Hello, I’m looking to build an eLearning course that has multiple tests, in one course. The way that I’m looking to structure it, is by having a main menu, that has links to each of the individual assignable units. So what I’m trying to do is have one master assignable unit, that has several other […]

I have been embedding video files made in camtasia into Lectora presentations, but have found that once published, the videos lose quality – the images and the text look blurry. Is there a solution to fix this? Thanks!

Hello! How can I get feedback in drag-and-drop question (var q1) after each drag-and-drop action? I have: 3 objects to drag (drag items names 1 2 3) 3 places to drop (drop items names 1 2 3) 1-1 2-2 3-3 On Feedback I choose – Issue feedback: Immediately On Correct/Incorrect feedback I use RunActionGroup – […]

I’m looking for a scholarly reference on reasons why it is helpful to allow trainees the freedom to complete only those modules of a course they wish to complete, vs. forcing them to touch each page in a specific, assigned order. Any suggestions? jkerper@albany.edu

My current project features a lot of actions happening on the screen. Every page has audio and sometimes even video. Both are not a problem but I have one resource button on course that is global And in resource pop up I have video’s which play is when user clicks on buttons. The problem is […]

We have one location that is getting these messages in one course. We have many other courses that all work fine and other locations have no trouble with this course. Any ideas? Unable to find an API adapter they click okay ***Another popup appears: Unable to locate the LMS’s API implementation

Ben – that won’t address their bookmarking issues.If you’re going to use IFRAMES to wrap the content, you’ll have to have Lectora (the parent wrapper) communicate with the IFrame window – back and forth.If you want tracking functionality in addition to simply presenting “linked” content, and you only want to use one lectora page to […]

Have you ever wished that you could use ReviewLink to host courses published from some of the other tools in your eLearning development toolbox? Well, your wish is about to come true.

Using Lectora Inspire 11.3.2 I am unable to do a couple things. 1) Set a default font. It appears that in the course it is set to Calibri 24 – which isn’t really a problem because in most cases you can use the text style command on the Home ribbon. Except – When you create […]

I am bran stinking new to Lectora and I am getting a head ache from not being able to figure this out. I have built a course in Lectura X and I have a simple five question exam in it. I can finish the course and have a close button to exit the course but […]

I have a small WBT with 2 embedded mp4 videos. Is ActiveX needed to successfully run these? When I have ActiveX disabled, I get an error message saying the video path is invalid, but no issues when ActiveX is enabled. Is there any way around ActiveX when embedding video – perhaps not using the video […]

I am testing courses on an iPAD Air 2 and am experiencing inconsistent behavior, sometimes the course opens and sometimes it does not.  I am trying to first identify if the issues is with the course itself in Lectora or the LMS.  The courses do not have flash video. Does anyone have success with courses […]

First create an action that moves PagesInTitle to a new variable, say X: Action: Modify Variable; Target: X; Value: Var(PagesInTitle). Then subtract what you need to from there. Then use X instead of PagesInTitle. As the member above suggested, you may want to consider instead putting all pages you want covered in a chapter and […]

After wrangling some jquery to embed webfonts throughout my course, I thought “this would be a great feature!” In the styling it would be great if we could define webfonts to use.  For example, link it to google fonts for the beginning and then go from there. This way I don’t have to try and use […]

Hi all, Have you tried clearing the Temp folder/browser cache? That’s the best way to make sure entries are cleared. If this does not work, I would contact Snap! support to dig a little deeper into the issue. You can either call 866-852-6700 or fill out a support form here: http://rapid-e-learning.lectora.com/Contact-SNAP-by-Lectora-Support – Molly

You may be able to alleviate the timing issue by adding as you go.  On the very first page, set your memo_end to be 0. I assume you have some method for the user to navigate from page to page, like a Continue or Next button.  If so, then you can assign a new action […]

I have run Captivate animations in Lectora that were captured at the same settings as yours. The course size was smaller. So, we had the Captivate animations open in a separate window so it could be the appropriate size. That worked fine for us because we were not collecting any user inputs from the animations […]

Hello I have been playing intermittently with Lectora so it is probably something I have done wrong. Also… it may be something peculiar to my PC. But… I have been working with audio recordings (MP3) with Lectora 12.1 for some time with no proeblems. Until this morning. My audio files suddenly stopped working when I […]

What an AWESOME surprise! #evergratefulevertrue #inspirerocks pic.twitter.com/JdOhfcjzRT — Jennifer Johnson (@BoilerJohnson) May 22, 2015

Hello folks, I am pretty certain that I already know the answer but… I have a question that requires more than one fill in the blank. However, Lectora treats each fill in the blank as a separate question. As a result, the Lectora generated test summary labels each as a separate question number. This is […]

Hello everyone I have a problem with Lectora Inspire. I want to create a scorm. I know that I enter a variable or a test to complete the course because it can be Set as completerd Within the Learning Management System “ The problem is: “This course is missing a test or scored in the […]

Hi, As the developer, I would like to be able to control notifications so that my client/SMEs are not sent notifications when I don’t want them to be sent.  At present, their notifications default to on and they are inudated with email notifications (even after I close the course draft for comments!!!) , and while they […]

In Lectora, I created a course with 10 AU. When I publish to SumTotal LMS using the Lectora Plugin the AU are properly recognized and displayed in the sidebar TOC – I modified the player acting on the manifest. However, wheren I reach the end of the AU, I do not know how to navigate […]

When I import lectora slides from another lectora project (Copy Pages or chapters from another lectora project) then I can’t able to preview as well as publish my course. They show me error message. Please see below snap for same. [ATTACH=CONFIG]635[/ATTACH] How to tackle with this error?

Lectora does not use that term – SCO – Sharable Content Object. Maybe Assignable Units will help but I don’t think so.You will probably have to use variables, one per chapter. Where and how are you showing chapter progress?

Hi, I am pretty new to Publisher but I have two quick yet important questions: 1. Can I use JavaScript, attached to a Page, to get all the names of objects on a page? All the text fields, etc. Maybe there’s a way to use the DOM to loop through a Page object? 2. Also, […]

Actually, all you need to do is replace the old image file with a new image file with the same name and it will update the graphic on all of the pages automatically. Renaming your new graphic file with the name of the old one should be easy enough, unless it’s a different file type. […]

Can anyone please tell me when the RCD beta begins? (@lsilver? @dfleary?:)) I’ve signed up and I can’t wait 🙂

Hey turlon,Can you tell me a bit more about your integration of a Lectora course with SAP? Were there any other glitches or errors that you’ve come across or did every go smoothly?much appreciatedThank you!jz

When I try to run the upgrade i get this message Waiting for Snagit to close before starting patch process… Snagit is closed and the version on my Explore, what am i missing?

Hello Cindy. What you are describing seems based suited using either Flash or jQuery. If you use jQuery, here is a great example. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/making-a-content-slider-with-jquery-ui/ If you use jQuery it would be inserted as an External HTML object. Click on the Demo on that page to see it in action. For Flash, you could use either […]

There are quite a few differences in our output when displayed in IE and Firefox. Here are the issues we are experiencing:1. Text from a set storyboard number action not displaying in the field. This is using a pretty simple / standard action on Show action Modify Variable > Target Storyboard_Number > Value: XXX_01_010 > […]

I don’t use tests at all, always just stand-alone questions (since I only use them for non-graded practice activities). I also don’t use Lectora’s built-in feedback functionality — I use my own actions (attached to a “Check Me” button that I create) that populate a text box on the page with the relevant message, based […]

Good morning. The CGI in this case is stated to mean a CGI program executed in Lectora real-time, so that it can output dynamic information. The purpose would be to transmit information from say, your Lectora test to a database for later retrieval or receive the information from the database into lectora and display them. […]

We import PPT’s into the template, not into a new file.  I suggest you go about it this way.  You can apply the template to the imported files, but it would take a lot longer than importing the other way. To apply the template, you would have to import all the elements/actions, and then apply […]

They don’t work the same way as with PowerPoint. In PPT, if you change the template, every slide changes. In Lectora, if once you create it, it makes a copy that is NOT linked to the original template. You can go into Lectora and change the background and all inherited objects (stuff at the title […]

Hello everyone, I have one course which is created in Lectora 16 and upload it on LMS for testing but when I launch course in new window or in same window then the course display with vertical scrollbar on browser.

Hello all, In my current e-learning course I used embedded external font in lectora 11 after publish text is not clear in IE8 & Mozilla Firefox browser. Can anyone have a solution? Thanks & Regards Akash

I have used shadow option on couple of objects and after publishing they were….gone. I’ve tried it couple of times and maybe I’m missing something….so i guess now is the right moment to ask if anyone else has the same problem…:) Anyone?

 Timmy and Ben, I have been struggling with the same issue – extra spaces after the hyphen after publish. When you say “this is an HTML publishing type issue” does that mean that anyone who develops content in HTML will have this issue, or is it something that is a Lectora specific publishing issue? I’m […]

Just read a bit about groups in the Lectora User Guide or the online help. Then ask specific questions here. Also sounds like you are ready for Lectora 301 – Interesting Courses Using Variables & More.  

CourseMill 7.2 is ready! Plenty of resolutions to the issues you have all been telling us about. To schedule your upgrade contact Linda Prather, linda.prather@trivantis.com  

I am creating a Survey and when I publish and view it, the first page inside the Survey won’t render properly, causing it to lose all graphics and buttons.

Hey Everyone! Loaded course to LMS and ran it. Works if I go page by page. However, if I try to move forward and back after I hit the Exit button (which I don’t think is set right as I didn’t exit…though the action I set does say Exit Title/Close Window : ) or I try […]

Hi, just thought this may be worth knowing: there are several Keys that can be pressed while moving an object with the mouse: [Alt]: Holding the Alt key while moving an object with the mouse will move the selected object separately even if it’s in a group. [Shift]: Holding [Shift] will lock the movement on […]

Hello I have an audio file. I select the file and then click on the sync events button as suggested in the docs. The editor opens up and allows me to mark events (the red triangles appear as events markers). I then want to quit editing. The system asks me if I want to save the […]
