Thanks for the question. The answer depends a fair amount on where you’re deploying the content. If you have access to a good, SCORM 2004 LMS, you can accomplish what you’re trying to do as we have in this forced sequential example.

If SCORM 1.2 is your only option, you’re probably out of luck. A very few 1.2 LMSs have prerequisites included, but it’s really uncommon. You could also build a single, monolithic SCO, but probably not using Captivate.

With regard to the button (assuming SCORM 2004), you could do that, yes. You would need to know (in the SCO) if you were complete. You could then enable a button that called SetValue(‘adl.nav.request’, ‘continue’); basically.

I hope that’s enough to get you headed in the right direction.

I have a course that is made up of 8 modules. The course was developed with Captivate 4. We are trying to find out how to control the SCORM sequencing so that the learner MUST progress in a sequential order from lowest to highest. Is there a setting in Captivate or the published Manifest that can do that?

Also, if we wanted to enable a “forward” button in a module once the module was completed (status=completed), is that a status that the LMS has to “push” back? And, how would we read it?

Thanks,
Emerson
