Where are E-Learning Offline courses downloaded?

I downloaded Clinic 6262 from Microsoft E-Learning site.
I can access this course offline using Microsoft E-Learning Offline
Player, but I would like to know where are these files downloaded
because I want to copy and take them home.

In E-Learning FAQ site says these files are downloaded in the same
path where the aplication was installed, but this is not true, I
couldn't find them there.

Does anybody know where are these files downloaded?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you!

 

You cannot "copy and take them home".

You need to log onto Microsoft eLearning from your home computer, download
the Offline Player to that computer, and then re-download the course content
to that computer.

Your progress on both systems will be synchronized and updated through the
microsoftelearning.com site.

In fact, they're now stored in a slightly different location.

On Windows XP, you'll find these files in ~\Local Settings\Application
Data\Element K\Offline Course Player\content

On Windows Vista, you'll find them in ~\AppData\Local\Element K\Offline
Course Player\content

Lawrence, thanks a lot!

 

Lawrence thanks a lot!

 

Thanks a lot man..

 

Can I ask why I can't view my downloaded contents in my player? Before I
reformated my PC, I was still using the Offline Player to view my courses.
Now, everytime I choose a course, only a blank screen appears.

Thanks,

 

Uhh..... "...before I reformatted my PC..."

What do you suppose happened to all that offline content when you
"reformatted your PC"?

You'll need to download it again.

Hi,

Yes, I did install the player of course. Then I had the plug-ins downloaded
and installed again. I was able to download the courses but every time I
decide to view them using the Offline Player, it wouldn't display the content
(the one that pops up for with the round button selection).

I'm not sure what happened there because when I check the folder where the
content are stored, I can view them in I.E. Plus, I have all the complete
requirements.

What I did anyway is to uninstall the player and reinstall it again and
redownload all my courses in the player. It is working now.

Thanks!

 

And yes, I downloaded all the courses again right after my reformat. I
downloaded them again when I had to uninstall and re-install the player after
having an issue in displaying the content.

Thanks a lot.

 

Noted, lesson learned. Thanks.

 

Placing E-Learning Offline courses at single location !!

Hi,

On the basis of the above discussion I have few queries.

1> We want to offer E-Learning courses through the Microsoft SharePoint Server. Therefore we install “Microsoft E-Learning Offline Player” on
every Client-PC and the E-Learning Courses at disposal on our SharePoint
Server. Now every Client can download the course from the SharePoint Portal, so that he gets offered the courses at starting the “Offline Player”, without downloading the courses from every client.

2> Are there any API’s or Code available for the offline player, so that the player can be customization to satisfy the requirement as per our needs mentioned in above point. (Point 1)?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Anand More.

 

Just joined velocityreviews to post in this old thread how annoying it was to read whatever this Lawrence Garvin had to say.

You make techs (like me) look bad with such writing; it fuels the anti-human stereotype that we have.

May I suggest, then, that you stop mocking users with that condescending tone when they're sincerely asking for help in what can sometimes seem very complex and intimidating for them. You can direct and educate users in a nice way. Try it and it becomes a habit. I presume you're not addressed like that by your mechanic, doctor, accountant, etc.

Both Carolina and Sim asked reasonable questions, and Sim provided enough info - he said he clicked on the course; there's no course to click on if he didn't download it yet.
