Course Information - How to set the Duration
I have a hosted connect with the training Module. We have created content with Captivate 5.
we publish the captivate files as lessons and then put the lessons together in a curriculum.
If you open the captivate lesson, the Table of contents shows the total duration for the presentation (captivate is able to calculate the duration)
I notice in the Connect Course Information, there is a place for 'Duration' , however I am not able to access that item.
For each of our lessons there is a dash mark next to the 'Duration'
How do I get Connect recognize the presentation duration that is already calculated in captivate
or
Is there a way for me to manually access and enter something in the Connect 'Duration' data field

The duration time cannot be set for a course in the Connect Training Library. In fact it is not even supported for all types of content. The example you have is a Captivate presentation.
Duration shows how long a course will last if it is played from start to finish without pausing. As far as I can tell it only seems to work with an Adobe Presentation, any other type of content will show a dash.

Re: Course Information - How to set the Duration
Hi, thanks for the response. Wouldn't a presentation created in adobe captivate count as an Adobe Presentation? Our work-around was to add a slide to the beginning if each lesson/presentation informing the user/learner of the estimated time needed to complete the lesson.

The name Adobe Presentation is in reference to an Adobe Presenter Presentation.
Your work around is a good one.
