I was a user of Captivate many years ago, but stopped using it when I changed jobs and the new employer used other tools. Then a couple of years ago, to make myself more marketable I downloaded Captivate 2017 and started participating regularly on the elearning site. Captivate 2017 was light years better than anything I had used in the past, but because I was working on a computer with minimum memory and slower hard drive the performance of captivate on the computer I was using was at best tedious, so after a few months and putting my job hunting in hold, I stopped using Captivate 2017.

A month ago, I started a new Instructional Design job, and I had a budget to develop a designer’s tool box, and since computing resources were no longer a barrier, I decided to purchase Captivate 2019. WOW!!! as soon as I had the software loaded on my system, I logged onto the elearning site and watched a couple of recorded Webinars and I couldn’t believe it, in less than 1 day I installed the software watched a couple of videos and then made a small scenario based project that worked.

Captivate 2019 is not only easy to use, but it is easy to get caught up using it. In the week after buying Captivate 2019, I have started  going through the “Mastering Adobe Captivate 2019 5th Edition” book, and signed up for the Captivate Specialist Certificate program. It is save to say that because of Captivate 2019 I will not stop using this tool again, at least not anytime soon!
