As some of you may know, The advanced answer option hasn’t proven to be all that compatible with the new fluid box responsive design features in Adobe Captivate 2017.

Adobe Captivate – Custom Start for Mobile

Working with stakeholders can sometimes get challenging when you need to educate and set their expectations with regards to the norms that most of us take for granted. One example of this is the fact that mobile OS platforms don’t allow for the auto-playing of content on the web. Unfortunately, this includes eLearning.

Adobe Captivate Alignment Toolbar

I’m always looking for shortcuts in online learning design. One of my favourites is the Adobe Captivate Alignment Toolbar. To use for each session you will need to check Enable custom workspaces/panel undocking in your Adobe Captivate Preferences. This option can be found in the General Settings Category. As the entry suggests you will need to restart Adobe Captivate for the changes to take effect, but the advantage is that you will be able to permanently turn various toolbars on […]

Adobe Captivate – Different Feedback for Each Answer

In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I will share with you an almost hidden feature known as Advanced Answer Option. It’s related to multiple choice single answer quiz questions but the feature isn’t found in the Quiz Properties.

Adobe Captivate – Use JavaScript to Display Google Fonts

In this video tutorial, I show you a method to add from over 800 Google web fonts in your Adobe Captivate project. This concept was worked out by Steven Warwick in a previous blog post.

Adobe Captivate – Converting to Responsive

I originally recorded an #eLearning #Livestream on this same topic but it felt sloppy so I didn’t publish it. Today I decided to record this live stream as a regular video tutorial. In this video tutorial, we review some best practices when converting non-responsive projects into a responsive project. In this video I decide to go with fluid boxes, however, you can also use breakpoints if you prefer that style of design. I’d love to hear what others are experiencing […]

Adobe Captivate – Video & Executable Publish Options

In this Adobe Captivate QuickTip, I will answer the question what happened to Captivate’s ability to publish your CPTX projects as either video or as a stand-alone executable for Mac or PC.
