Help and Notes

The Adapt Authoring Tool version included with this launcher is version 0.2. Please be aware that currently AdaptLearning Authoring Tool (AT) does not have a function to export a course created with it, to another AT instance. So you can create courses and publish them on a LMS/web site, but you cannot export your course to edit and make changes to it, with another installation of the AT. The export/import feature from/to the AT is in the road-map for the version 0.4 of the AT, as described in the main Adapt project

Slow PCs may need some time before the browser can actually show the AdaptLearning Authoring page

Some browsers may stop opeining popups: please enable opening popup when requested by the browser to correctly display the course preview.

adapt-authoring-standalone's Issues

Connection refused or loads forever

Hardware: MacBook Pro 2017
OS: Windows 10
Browser: Chrome 62.0.3202.75

Downloaded zip, unzipped to C:/adapt.

Open start.exe, click start, browser window opens, seems to try to load then presented with a 'Connection Refused'. I later tried again by browsing to 'localhost:5000' but it seems to be loading forever (still loading 5 mins later at the time of writing). I don't think my hardware qualifies as 'slow' so feels like something else is going wrong potentially.

Have disabled Windows Firewall but still get the same result.

Preview Error - Standalone launcher - AdaptLearning Authoring Tool

I have download and run the Adapt Standalone launcher, its working perfectly.

Have created the new course and saved it. While clicking the preview button on left it show the "Error generating preview, please contact Administrator."

Also attached the screenshot below.

Kindly do your needful.

No exe file

There is no exe file included. Just a few images and a readme.

notes from initial testing

You might mention that it's quite a large zip file to extract - even on my (fairly powerful) PC it took nearly 10 minutes. Equally the extracted files are 1.5GB which I think is large enough for it to be polite to warn people it will take a while and take up a fair bit of disk space!

On that note, is there anything you can do to reduce the size? I believe that typically an AT install is just 500MB or so. The authoring tool folks might have some suggestions.

I don't think you can stress enough that it needs to be extracted to c:\adapt - I missed this so others will too!

It would also be useful to note that a user will have to allow it via any firewall software they are running. The Windows Firewall dialogue popped up for me which I was of course expecting but a non-technical user might get a bit 'freaked out' by this so some guidance would be good. Also, for me, I gave it firewall permissions, it launched but then didn't connect. Just as I was about to start trying to figure out why, another Windows Firewall warning popped up. After accepting that, it launched fine and has continued to do so.

Also might be worth pointing out that it will be necessary to allow popups for localhost so that the preview will work.

Stopping it seems to be a bit funny... it always take a while (so seems like it's not working) and sometimes fails with an error.

Overall I think this is really great idea for people wanting to have a quick try of the Authoring Tool - whether non-technical or not!

Finally just to say that I think Adapt AT v0.4 should be released quite soon so it might be worth holding off on some of this until that is ready.
