Adobe Captivate – Custom Start for Mobile
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

Working with stakeholders can sometimes get challenging when you need to educate and set their expectations with regards to the norms that most of us take for granted. One example of this is the fact that mobile OS platforms don’t allow for the auto-playing of content on the web. Unfortunately, this includes eLearning. What this means to you and I is that when you publish an eLearning course for the web and access it via a mobile device, learners will need to click an extra play button to get started. In this Adobe Captivate Quick Tip, I show you how you can customise the start project screen when publishing for mobile devices to at least make this a little more interesting to view.

Hi Paul,

Can we add an accessibility label to the button generated on the start screen? Screen readers  do not  recognize the button on the Start screen. I have modified the image and the button, but do not know how to add a label to that button. On my image, I added the word play but the screen reader cannot read the play text and there is no label on the button.

Use the same image size as your project’s largest view. For example, if you are 1024 X 698 (iPad sized) use that for the image size.
