8th Generation iPad 10.2″ and Adobe Captivate Draft in 2020
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.

I just purchased a new 2020 8th generation Apple iPad 10.2″. I decided to upgrade from my 2017 9.7″ model for several reasons. Mainly compatibility with Apple Pencil, which my 2017 model did not have.

The new 2020 iPad and the Apple pencil are compatible with Adobe Captivate Draft. Adobe Captivate Draft was a storyboarding solution made available in 2015 exclusively for the iPad. I had used Android tablets up until that point but decided to get an iPad for this reason. While away on vacation that same year, I saved myself some time and effort and began a project while relaxing on the beach. What makes Adobe Captivate Draft better than other storyboarding applications is that you can load your Draft projects in Captivate to complete your computer.

I found that while I didn’t use Draft as a storyboarding tool so much, it is an excellent content collection tool for building your eLearning project libraries. I mean that you can use the tool to write, take photos, take videos, and record audio and collect it all in a single file (CPDX format) that is compatible with being loaded into Adobe Captivate 2019.

Adobe hasn’t updated Captivate Draft since 2018, but I was happy to discover that I could still use it on my brand new 2020 iPad. A bonus was that my new Apple Pencil worked flawlessly within the App. If you’re interested in this model, check out my brief review about this iPad and Apple Pencil.

Thanks again
