How to Design an Adobe Captivate Project for Your Organization | Oct 14th, 12:00 EDT | 16:00 UTC

In this eLearning Livestream, I will be taking you through the process that I go through when building what is actually known as a Captivate Theme. I hesitate to call this a template because that is something else in Adobe Captivate. However, this template would be based on the branding requirements of your organization or the organization of your clients.

Custom Advanced Answer Captions in Adobe Captivate

In this video tutorial, I show you how you can create your own advanced answer captions by using a really helpful system variable in an advanced action that’s run when your learners submit their answer. This addresses several issues that are caused by advanced answer captions and gives you much greater control over what happens.

Certified Online Training Professional – Part Two

Good news. I’ve successfully completed my Certified Online Training Professional Certificate. I want to share my experience with all of you if you are considering getting this valuable certification.

Create a Secret Help Slide …Even Better Than Before!

Last week I did a tutorial that was an easy way to have your course jump to a unique slide that was hidden from the regular navigation. This would be a great way to provide your learners with some optional information like course instructions or a help page. The problem with that solution is that every time you returned your learners to the slide that you started from, the slide would start from the beginning of the slide.

Many of you may be attending the Adobe Learning Summit in Las Vegas for the first time this fall. You may also be undecided if you want to go.

I can give you some hints and tips for making it a truly rewarding and productive experience. Also, I will answer any questions in the live chat.

Create a Secret Help Slide in Adobe Captivate

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to set up a slide that isn’t part of the regular navigation of your course. This slide will instead be accessed from any other slide in your project using a small icon in the corner. This is useful if you want an optional page that includes course instructions, or perhaps a special help page that learners can only access if they need it.

Countdown Timer using Advanced Actions in Adobe Captivate

In this video tutorial, I show you one way you can build a countdown timer. In this example, I use two user variables and two system variables. I also make use of a two decision advanced conditional action, including use of the While action.

Certified Online Training Professional Certificate

This year I’ve decided to not work on my eLearning design and development skills but rather my skills as an online training professional. My main business is designing and developing eLearning, but I’m still a professional facilitator. Like most of us, I got my start in the classroom. Since my clients are located all over the globe, online training makes sense for both my clients and me.
