Captivate SCORM modules silently fail to save quiz attempts to the Moodle based LMS by our end users using Google Chrome 73.0.3683.103 and Adobe Flash.
We’ve been publishing Adobe Captivate SCORM modules in our Moodle based LMS for the past three years or so. Our team has been publishing newer modules with Captivate 2019, but we do have active content built from Captivate 8, 9 & 2017. We’ve noticed that with the latest version of Chrome (73.0.3683.103 when this was posted), that our modules no longer properly send the data back to the LMS after completion. We’ve confirmed that the affected modules include packages published across all versions (8, 9, 2017 & 2019). All modules are published with both Flash and HTML5 capabilities, but only the HTML5 loaded modules properly send data back to the LMS for saving.
Is this something others are experiencing?
Note: Some of our end users cannot easily change browsers or disable Flash (in anticipation of the obvious “disable Flash” answers).
The publishing to both SWF and HTML5 is bit crippled since a couple of versions, I have recommended multiple times never to use it (with the multiscreen.html file to launch). Flash Player is now almost dead, and browsers like Edge don’t even have the plugin anymore. You will not be the only developer getting into troubles because the transition time seems to become shorted. Please republish the older courses to HTML5 only.
Flash is still very much alive, it is the application to create animations and games, has now been renamed to Animate CC. It is the Flash Player which will disappear from all browsers, it was needed to play SWF content. Most games still are created with ‘Flash’.
