From an expert: Location aware learning with Adobe Captivate
Emulate geolocation while testing your project
You can now verify whether the geolocation functionality you have set up is working fine before publishing your project.
Note:
This feature is only applicable if you have created a custom geolocation variable as described in the tip above.
To see the project preview in the browser, click Preview.
Toggle between the different locations you have set up to preview how the project looks and functions when a learner accesses it from that location.
Map support
While creating custom variables, users can browse through Google™ integrated maps and choose the geolocation. Latitude, longitude, and location accuracy values are populated based on the chosen geolocation from maps.
Users can click the globe icon next to Choose from Map in the Variables dialog as shown below:
Note:
To use this map support feature, connect to the Internet.
For example, in the above snapshot, a location map of San Francisco city has been chosen from the map and the corresponding values are populated.
Users can type coordinates if they are already aware of them, or select location from map to fetch the values automatically.
User Scenario for map support
Consider a scenario where you have created a course for German-speaking people residing in Germany. You can use the Google map and choose Germany typing in the search bar. As shown in Figure - A, you have the location accuracy value as 334988 meters encompassing most of the area of Germany.
At a later stage, if you want to expand your course availability to more countries, then click the red colored pin (at the outer part of circle ) and drag it to match your locations. Figure -B demonstrates the extended location accuracy values that you would have chosen in this scenario.
