Help with Captivate Software Simulation
Currently learning Captivate for future use in creating e-learning instructional modules.

I am encountering a problem with Captivate software simulation where upon training preview it presents in what appears to be a slideshow with no interactivity.  I have attempted to preview as ‘preview project’ as well as ‘html5 in browser’ with no luck.  I was hoping to develop an interactive software training with Audacity.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time,

Joe

Confusing, but thanks for trying to clarify.

Hi Lieve,

Thank you for taking the time to respond.  I apologize for the confusion.  I am attempting to use the Captivate software simulation feature to capture software processes that I am performing in Audacity.  Upon opening Captivate, under the New tab, I select Software Simulation.  Afterward I make sure that the checkbox is selected for Training.  I then recorded my software process successfully.  When I preview the training, it does not provide any click boxes, or text entry boxes.  Instead it is a continuous playback of the individual slides.  I selected F9 and attached an image of the advanced interaction panel for possible feedback and suggestions.

During a software simulation recording I made an attempt by selecting Demo, Assessment, and training.  Afterward previewed all 3 tabs and all 3 presented as continuous playback of individual slides.

Again, Thank you for your time and any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am a bit confused because you point at Audacity, which is a free audio editing application?

If you talk about a software simulation project created in Captivate, can you double-check the Advanced Interaction panel (open with F9)? In a training simulation each slide should have either a click box or a Text Entry Box, except for the Full Motion Recording slides. If that is NOT the case, you have recorded the software sim in Demo mode which is indeed non-interactive.
