What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

Greetings all. I am always looking for resources and things to learn from.  I have read some articles recommending books and unfortunately some that seem really interesting I haven’t been able to find, but I will continue to look. 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 […]

Multiple Failure messages for Drag&Drop KC slide

Branch Aware Causing Project to Fail, Unable to Preview

Hi all!  I’m having a huge problem with branching.  I have a project with 2 branches for different personnel which are selected on a menu slide with buttons that jump to the section of the project that applies to the personnel. The content is a series of software simulations with click boxes to test users’ knowledge of the software.  The interactions are scored and are added to the quiz totals.  Without Branching, the project runs and scores all points.  However, […]

¿Como puedo integrar Adobe Captivate con un LRS?

Estoy tratando de encontrar la forma de integrar los resultados que obtengo de un archivo scorm a un LRS para obtener los resultados de seguimiento de los estudiantes. Alguna idea?

Experiencia con Adobe Captivate

Mi experiencia con Adobe Captivate  ha sido sorprendente, no imaginaba la cantidad de funciones con que esta herramienta cuenta. Empece primero creando un paquete de estudio para mi clase de matematicas, rapidamente avance a desarrollar experiencias de gamificacion mas innovadoras, lo que me permitio llegar a las mentes de mis estudiantes. Fue algo sumamente eficaz para ambos y mas en el desarrollo eficaz de este proceso de enseñanza – aprendizaje.

360 File Insert Error Message

I have had success in the past few weeks importing 360 videos ( MP4) generated with Samsung Gear360. Now, however, when I try to insert a file I get this message: The video you have selected is not a Flash file. Adobe Captivate will convert it to FLV or F4V format using AdobeMedia Encoder (AME). The path of the converted file will be: When I agree to have AME convert the file it never completes the file conversion, left it […]

Adobe Knowhow access

I am disappointed that I no longer have access to my Adobe Knowhow content that I paid for. I am not the only one having these issues. We were promised a means of continued access to our content after purchasing a lifetime access product and have not received a link. Can somebody please help Thank you

Issues with Styling

I posted this to the “Bug” page, but wanted to see if anyone else is having a similar issue. The “Style Name” drop-down appears to be limited with regard to how manipulating margins. Ideally, we should be able to get the margins to adjust as well, since this is something that I find myself styling, quite often. Adjusting the margins manually is time-consuming and almost defeats the purpose of having the “Style Name”. Isn’t the “Style Name” drop-down essentially functioning […]

Branch Aware – for Quizzes

Hi all!  I have a Captivate 2019, latest version issue.  I have a software assessment project with two “tracks” with assessment slides that I’ve grouped together to make 2 different groups.  I’ve created the branching by using 2 buttons that jump to the appropriate “branch” in the project.  Buttons and Groups are named exactly the same.  I need the quizzing points to be calculated by branch – so that 80% will be passing on the individual branches, and the user […]

How do I make my project fit on a computer screen without having to scroll

Hi, I am brand new to Captivate and am creating a simulation eLearning along with some opening slides.  When I view my project in HTML, I can not see the whole slide on my computer screen.  I have to scroll up or down to see the top or bottom of the slide.  My graphics all fit within the white rectangle area of the slide when I built them.  I have tried the rescale section but it distorts my grapics.  Any […]

Sound Files are Playing Spontaneously

OK, so I’m reviewing modules I just published to our LMS. I’m encountering an odd error. I have the slides set up with my own playback controls as opposed utilizing the LMS playbar. Therefore the slides obviously pause until the learner clicks the “Next” button. The error I’m encountering is the narration sound file for the next slide starts playing spontaneously even though the learner has not advanced the presentation. To further complicate things, it doesn’t happen every time. I’ve […]
