Hello Everyone!

Howdy! I just wanted to introduce myself to the Adobe eLearning Community,
I plan to create a new Blog with training videos teaching and showing
10+ Hacks with Captivate & The Creative Cloud.

Captivate and the Creative Cloud

I want to start with 10+ reasons you should be using the Adobe Creative Cloud
to enhance your projects, increase productivity, and speed up your workflow!

So please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mark, and I am an
Adobe Certified Instructor and an Adobe Community Professional.
I have been involved in graphic design, multimedia and the web since ’95 (doh.. I’m gettin’up there! ).

I have worked for McGraw-Hill New Media, Jostens Learning, Sony Online, BAE Systems,
the NBC Agency, and as principal of headTrix, Inc | Adobe Certified Training & Consulting have done work for
Ann Taylor, Disney*ABC, Tribal DDB, Toshiba, Terex, KIA, US Army to name a few.

I have also been teaching since 1998 at User Groups, Adobe Authorized Training Centers, Platt College, University of California, San Diego (UCSD), San Diego New Media Center, The Art Institute, corporate training for Sony, Fox Studios, Warner Bros., Universal Music, Disney, Variety. I was a TA at Adobe Max Conference (2017) for a variety of classes in Photoshop, Animate (Flash), and Character Animator, and I was a Speaker at the Adobe eLearning Summit (2017) in conjunction with DevLearn.

I’d love to show you how to create quick storyboards with Captivate Draft, enhance your headers in Adobe Illustrator, using creative Fonts with Adobe Typekit, adding visuals with Adobe Stock, saving and sharing your files with Creative Cloud, creating animation with Adobe Animate, improving audio with Adobe Audition, speeding up your workflow with Adobe Photoshop, creating an interactive PDF & more!

So … enough about me…. how about you? What’s your background?
Are you be interested in learning about Captivate & the Adobe Creative Cloud?
Would you like to enhance your eLearning projects, speed up your workflow and increase productivity???

Join the conversation…. let me know if you are interested….
and I look forward to seeing ALL …. ONLINE … so we can all keep on learning together!

Cheers!
mark

I guess you have to copy and past the link. And you can save this Adobe Spark page where I will be adding my videos as I create them:

Welcome Mark,

I am currently a Sr. Technical Trainer/Instructional Designer working as a Government Contractor, and I am looking to add some innovative ideas to reach a very large user community with a very small staff (me). I’m interested to hear your thoughts.

One question… The title of this post is “10 Reasons you should be using Adobe Creative Cloud in your eLearning Projects,” but I cannot find them anywhere on the page. Can you repost the list because I am really eager to dive more into interactive PDFs and integrating CC into my eLearning projects.

Ernest

Hi Ernest!

Thanks for introducing yourself and taking part in this conversation! I have ONLY posted an introduction with a small plan of my blog just to see if there is any interest in what I attend to share!

Please keep on the lookout for my first hack for Captivate and the Creative Cloud starting in January!

Happy Holidays!

Welcome, Mark. I’ve been experimenting with Draft, but it feels like I’m not getting the best out of it. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
