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

Grab your Goggles! Now you can Make VR Courses Fast with Adobe Captivate (2019 Release)

There’s a lot to love in the 2019 Release of Adobe Captivate, but the big headline has to be that the creation of 360 Virtual Reality (VR) simulations and training are supported in this release.

I’ll drill down into the examples and activities in […]
