Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Adobe Captivate 19 – Responsive Course Development

Hi, I’m new the responsive game. Watched the videos, and read the books and articles. But still have some questions. 1. Why does the optional option not always appear for objects/shapes? 2. How do I get the smart shapes to adjust the size with the text? I’ve been given the directive to move all of our current courses to responsive. Need a fast and effective way to make this happen. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Resizing Captivate 2019 asset window

Can anyone tell me how I can resize the asset window. When I click on it it is so small and I am working  from a 30 inch monitor.

360 VR Video

I’m creating a course in Captivate using 360 videos. None of the original features are the same as a pervious versions of Captivate 2019 and its super irritating. For starters, I have to develop the course as one slide vs cutting my videos because the transitioning between slides is very very rough. I can’t continue playing a video after I have a question slide without having to press play on the player, which is cumbersome and quite stupid if you […]
