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, 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 […]

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

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 […]

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 […]

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?

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 […]

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 […]

Today’s conumdrum. In my course, I have some closed captioning narration that is synched with an audio file. The cc text appears the bottom of the page. The learner can elect to hide the cc text by clicking a button. A button has actions that do the following: 1. Hide the cc text with a […]

Ok- makes sense. Lectora can generate 508-compliant courses, but if other applications muck this up, well, that’s a concern that needs to be addressed outside of lectora. So what it looks like we’re going to do is keep our Lectora keystrokes, and add the following:This course contains custom keystroke navigation commands. If you are using […]

Ok, I know this has probably been asked before but I cannot remember it. (Old brain) Anyway, I usually use actions that display a list of items that learners need to review based on what they missed in the test on a results page, but now I need to display the question, the learner’s answer […]

How can I Set a Variable to the contents of a text field. What i want is for them to build up a sentence by clicking on a set of fields, which i could then output. Any ideas pleas?

Hi I have a session variable called UserID in my website – i need to get that value into lectora to use within the elearning modules – Is there any way that I can read a session variable into a variable within lectora? Any guidance would be grately appreciated thanks Ian

I think you need to move your text box below the popup box. Inside your page, Lectora loads from top to bottom. So, what you have listed first will load first followed by everything else. It is like layers on a cake except upside down.If that isn’t the issue, then maybe your text is set […]

I have a situation where I have a bulleted list, and the final bullet is a different size and, in some cases, color from the other bullets in the list. Not text, but the actual bullet. What causes that and how can I fix it?

I have been using a 10 year old machine that ran Vista using both Lectora 10 and 11 with no issue. About a month ago, I got an HP Envy running Windows 8. Lectora 10, Snap, all Adobe products… everything works great, except Lectora 11. I have had a screen sharing session with Trivantis and […]

What does it mean when it says that you can add a web window to your presentation? Can I add social media this way? There is a lot of pressure to add more social elements into our courses.

Hear, hear.   If I want to keep the location of a transparent button secret, I’ll place it on top of a larger button (which takes up the whole screen).  That way, the cursor is always a hand.   But that extra step should not be necessary, especially if a transparent button over the whole […]

When published to AICC, you have a modify variable of AICC_LESSON_STATUS or AICC_CORE_LESSON. So did you get rid of any test variables that pass any variables to the LMS? I am not sure if the variables would cause an error. And make sure that the “Include Title Manager Frame” checkbox is uncheck because none of […]

No, a hyperlink is a clickable area on the screen. It does not have a value. The solution is not hard, just a bit of work. Here is one solution.First, each hyperlink is doing something already, showing/going somewhere. You have to add to that some way to track so that is a second action. Since […]

It’s a feature that’s available in Captivate, and maybe it’s a Flash thing, but it seems like it should be possible in HTML.

What LMS are you using?  We use AICC all the time with no problem.  When you publish to SCORM are you using the same LMS or a different one? Dumb question, but you did check “Prompt return to last known location”? It could be several things.  For example too many frames causing the course not […]

Since I installed v16 last week, my SnagIt has been acting up. It doesn’t open when I launch Lectora, so I have to open it manually, then when I take a screen capture, it disappears and doesn’t come back again instead of opening the editor and showing me the screenshot I just took. Is anyone […]
