Big Sur (macOS 11) update for Adobe Captivate (2019 release) is here!
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.

But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Who Should You Include In Your Planning For Your eLearning Course? Having worked with many companies over the years I have come across a high number of instructional designers and company managers that dictate what needs to be included in the learning materials for online teaching. Many of these company managers have no formal training in teaching learners and hence have not compiled a complete picture of what needs to be learned by the student or learner. In their opinion, […]

Digital Body Language And Learning Analytics Learning and Development today should be all about the learner—what they want, what they need, and when they need it. Despite the breakthrough technologies, the current scenario of L&D is uncertain, as the need to […]
Most organizations will have their own instructional design process which they use to create course materials for their employees. If the developer uses a non-standardized, haphazard way of creating courses, then the quality of training provided to the employees will suffer. Below, we look at five things you need to keep in mind with regard to instructional design processes.
Sweller (1988) distinguishes between three different cognitive loads. Intrinsic Cognitive Load (IL) is the effort associated with a specific topic. Extraneous Cognitive load (EL) refers to the way information or tasks are presented to a learner. And, Germane Cognitive Load (GL) refers to the work put into creating a permanent store of knowledge, or a schema. if cognitive overload takes place, then learners will be more likely to make errors, not fully engage with the subject materials.
The easy way to add extra states to your project that will save you time and money and give you more interactivity for your learners.
One of the most common things I have to do in Captivate is to add from 5 to 20 clickable objects that will update the main object container. With Captivate States option I can now do this is a matter of minutes. In the image below I have ten smart shapes that change the information in the main container.

Using fluid boxes in now very simple in Captivate 2019. I used to hate working with fluid boxes in earlier versions, but now with the highlighting, it makes it simpler to see where I am in the boxes.
