NotificationAfter you create a Captivate eLearning project, the project needs to be published into a format that can be opened by your learner. Currently, the most common methods to publish a Captivate project is as a Flash SWF and HTML. To view a project as SWF output, you will require any modern browser and the latest update of Adobe Flash Player. Projects published as HTML5 play on any computer or mobile device that supports HTML5. This includes both Android and iOS-based devices. Learners with […]
A responsive project allows you to design your module to display perfectly across different devices easily. A normal project does not offer the option to preview and adjust your objects for different views. Normal project Responsive project Publish as SWF, HTML5, and video Publish as HTML5 only Allows rollover options such as Rollover Caption, Rollover Image, and Rollover Slide let Does not allow rollover options Supports text animations Does not support text animations Adjust dimensions of objects using the Option […]
You can convert text in the slide notes into an audio file using text-to-speech software from NeoSpeech™. The following voices from NeoSpeech are supported in Adobe Captivate: Kate: English female voice Paul: English male voice Bridget: British English female voice Julie: US English female voice Chloe: Canadian French female voice James: Yumi: Korean female voice You can install NeoSpeech using the Adobe Captivate installation CD or download it from the Adobe website. For detailed instructions on how to install NeoSpeech, […]
Hint captions are captions that appear if the learner gets close to the Click Box (hot spot) but does not actually click on the Click Box. If the learner clicks in the wrong place while moving through the lesson, the learner sees a corrective message through the Failure Caption.

You can create simulations and demonstrations using Adobe Captivate. Simulations are usually interactive software simulations that allow the learner to click through and try the application being taught. Captivate allows you to set two simulation modes – training simulation and assessment simulation. Assessment simulations include Click Boxes (to make the lesson interactive) and Failure Captions (to help the user who clicks in the wrong place or performs the wrong step). Training simulations are similar to assessment simulations. However, in addition to Click […]
A video demo is ideal for situations when you want to capture complex procedures that involve scrolling, drawing, basically any action that is more than a series of mouse-clicks.
When you record video demos, instead of capturing single screens for each mouse click, you record one seamless video. Once you finish recording the video, you can add text captions, highlight boxes, smart shapes, images, animations, and characters. However, you cannot add interactive objects such as click boxes, buttons, quizzes, or text entry boxes. You can publish a video demo only as an MP4 video.
Training simulations are similar to assessment simulations. Like assessment simulations, training simulations include click boxes, and failure captions. However, unlike assessment simulations, training simulations also include hint captions (captions that appear if the learner gets close to the click box, but does not actually click it).
Assessment simulations are used to create interactive eLearning lessons. Using this recording mode, you can create lessons that include click boxes (to make the lesson interactive), and failure captions (to help learner who clicks in the wrong place or performs the wrong step). These do not include text captions.
Use the demonstration mode of recording if you want to record a quick concept to someone, but you don’t expect the learner to follow along and actually perform the steps being demonstrated. Demonstration mode automatically includes text captions, highlight boxes, and mouse movements. To record a demonstration, click File > Record new Software Simulation, and then select Demo in the Recording Options.
