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 […]

Advanced Actions on Custom TOC

All Input is welcome and appreciated. I need to add a Check Mark image to a custom TOC after specific slides, not in sequence, are viewed by the participant. Unfortunately my Advanced Action / Scripting  skills are not getting me past the hurdle. I assume I am on the correct path by needing to create variables for each slide that needs to be viewed however finding a way to conditionally connect them to an inbuilt “slide viewed” variable value is […]

Drag and drop incorrectly repeating audio from previous step

Using captivate 2017 I created a drag and drop of 8 Russian and English words. Once the word is dropped audio plays pronouncing the word in Russian. Despite the order the last drag and drop always repeats the audio from the choice prior.  The drag and drop are correctly linked and the audio files are also correctly linked. Any ideas of how to correct? Also, the next and back buttons from smart shapes move (timing is set to display for […]

Published content timing/animations etc are different from how they appeared in Captivate

To start this off; Animations in my non-responsive captivate project do not seem to play correctly when publishing my project with only the HTML5 format.  What I see when I create the animation and preview it inside captivate is completely different from how it appears when viewing the published version. Even things as simple as moving an svg from right to left a short distance over a 1.6 second period doesn’t look right. When viewed in Captivate the transition is […]

In tune with the spirit of this day, I am happy to present before you a Captivate project I made for this occasion. […]

Multi-slide video Resume on first slide

Hi All, I’m creating a course with a video using a multi-slide option and divided the video up into 5 slides.  I want the scorm to bookmark when the user exit the course and resume on the last slide they were on.  However, when the user resume the video always starts on the first slide.  I’m using Captivate 2017 now and it’s not working how it did on captivate 9.  Can anyone suggest a solution?

Adobe Captivate Toolbar is too small to see
