The range of assets now included with Cp2019 makes it easier to build quick modules and courses with a great range of images, layouts and interactions to choose from. But have you taken time to look more closely at how the layouts and interactions are built? I have and it has improved my knowledge of Advanced Actions and setting up a slide.

Interactions

Most projects have similar layouts and interactions but I’m using Diverse for this blog. The layouts that caught my attention were

  • Flip card:  This is a nice visual interaction (something I first saw using the Adapt authoring tool) This uses a combination of a spin effect and states, to mimic a flip card interaction. (See below advanced action)

  • Accordion: I’m a fan of accordions to compact information together (I use them in HTML format too in LMS) Captivate’s version uses show/hide and change states and extensive use of grouping (See Advanced action below). 

Conclusion

The range of interactions that the asset panel brings now makes it easier and quicker than ever to create courses, when you look more closely it highlights just what Captivate can do when set-up correctly. Looking ‘under the hood’ at these assets has helped me become a better developer and I’m sure it will for you too.

Hello Christian !…

First of all thanks for these precisions about these effects !…

But I still have a problem with the “spin” effect which I try to use already. This is an exemple :

http://soutien67.fr/math/activites/calcul_mental/CM_N1_01/index.html

As you could see, the “spinning” is continuous. And I like it to spin only once !!!???…

(I’ve seen this effect working perfectly on other projects, with just a unique rotation but didn’t manage to reproduce it.)

I just try to reduce the speed to 0,5 s as you mentioned in your post but the problem remains.

I think it’s a problem of translation (I use Captivate in french), and there are a lot of “rotation” effect on my version !

So could you please precise me exactly which effect you mention ?

Thanks in advance !…

😉
