[ActivePresenter]

ActivePresenter supports export project to two kinds  of simulation and interactive content. One is Flash-based; the other  is Ajax-based. While many content authoring tools choose Flash-based as  unique solution for this purpose, there are some reasons that the  Flash-based content is not always used:

• Normally, Flash Player is not already installed in computer  or integrated in browsers.
• Flash Player can not simulate some popular actions (right click,  Alt combined key…) while working independently, or in web browser  without using a trick.
• Some platforms or web browsers do not support it or it does not  support them (such as Apple iPad, 64-bit browsers).
• Because the content is packed in one or few output files, it is  difficult to change or reuse.

Ajax is a combination of some standard web technologies (CSS, HTML,  JavaScript, etc) which currently doesn’t support animation and  multimedia good as Flash does, but using Ajax-based content has many  advantages:

• Almost computer which is running has web browser installed so it  can display this kind of content.
• Popular actions such as right click, combination key are  well-simulated (can not simulate specialized browser keys (F11, F12 in  IE)).
• Because using standard web technologies, it can run in almost  browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Opera …)
• ActivePresenter export content into data  directory and presentation file (java script –based player which display  the window to play simulation) separately. So you can change the player  easily without exporting project again.

Hello everyone,
How I deal with image option when export project. Help document has not so much about it.
Thanks!

Hi,
Because the JPEG does not support transparency so the slide object with arbitrary shape must use PNG format to display correctly while simulating. Otherwise, it will displayed on an opaque background color.
You can find this in help document: http://www.atomisystems.com/wiki/index.php?title=Export_To_Ajax_Simulation

Hi,
I export my project to Ajax Simulation with image format is JPEG. Why some of exported images are still in PNG format?

[Capture the application and edit]

ActivePresenter is already known as a presentation tool used to capture computer screen and export to various formats including: Ajax Simulation, Flash Simulation, Word, PowerPoint, Video, etc. However, it can do more than that. After reading this article, you will discover that ActivePresenter is a powerful tool for creating software skill testing, self-learning resources. This requires the exported output is Ajax Simulation or Flash Simulation. We will introduce to you the details of how to use ActivePresenter to create a software skill test. This process includes some main steps:

• Capture the application which you want to create the test and edit.
• Setting score and attempt.
• Setting test duration and pass condition.
• Keep track of test result on LMS (Learning Management System), on HTTP server or via email.

Capture the application and edit

This is done normally as in case of creating demonstration video or training document. In practice, the capturing size is set smaller than the resolution of screen which used for test (the popular screen resolution nowadays is 1024x768 or greater). This allows examinees interact with test easier. But you can also choose the ratio option to export to smaller size.
The captured project includes a number of slides for steps in the test. You can add or remove slide, add guided audio, image or some text (balloon, text caption, etc) for hint. Each of them has the option call “Show in mode” allows it displayed in test or not.

Setting score and attempt

Each of captured slides includes an action or number of actions in case of allowing multiple answers. It may be a mouse click, key press, or edit action. When examinee doing the test, he/she need to choose correct action to get the score (point). We can set the score for separate action (for example: high score for difficult actions). We also can set the number of attempts for an action. It is the number of times examinee can try to do correct action before the test automatically move to next step.

Setting duration and pass condition

These settings are done while exporting to Ajax or Flash Simulation. The “Test” option in Operation Modes should be checked. The Total max time is the test duration in minute unit.

You have three options to choose for pass condition: percents of correct answers, points gained, number of correct answers. Base on this pass condition, the test will report that examinee passed this test or failed to LMS, email or HTTP server.

Keep track of test result

ActivePresenter allows you manage the test result of examinees on LMS using SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 standards. To enable this, you simply choose Generate SCORM package option and import the exported output to LMS. You also can manage test result via email (you can read as normal text) or using HTTP method with appropriate report format (XML, JSON, etc) conveniently for data processing at server side.
Following is some pictures show how the output works within LMS.

You're right! :-)

Just an additional point, if the content linked to other internet resources such as images. It's will take a bit longer time to view slide and the images will not be displayed at all if there is no internet connection:-)

Yes, you can copy even all content of a webpage to paste in balloon and text caption content. However, because of the rich presentation capabilities of HTML content, it has some limitation when export to PowerPoint and Word or export to some outputs with optional ratio. So please consider which you want to export.

Hi,
I've noticed that ActivePresenter support HTML text editing from 2.2 so I could do more with text such as: using bullets, numbering, justify alignment, subscript and superscript. In fact, I could copy a HTML table or content of a webpage and paste in editor. Great!
