This has also left our judges in a tizzy in scoring easily, due to the sheer professional quality of projects that all have created through the Adobe Captivate authoring […]
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. 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 […]
Hi, Can someone recommend JavaScript, HTML and CSS books for beginners that would be a best fit for Adobe Captivate? I keep researching but do not find anything in particular. However, if anyone can recommend any books that were of great help to you and Captivate, let me know! Currently, I have a few in my Amazon cart but just not sure which would be good.

Intro This article is written as an answer to a question on the forums: Drag&Drop with Advanced Action For quiz slides it is possible to show different Failure messages based on the attempt number. That functionality is not available for Drag&Drop slides. As you can read in the thread, another user posted a solution using the Object actions which are executed after each drag action. I posted some comments about the limitations of that solution. In this article the described solution is […]

To all the wonderful women who’ve made eLearning a part of our lives and enhancing our knowledge, every single day!

In this article, I outline a popular ROI methodology (using Kirkpatrick’s model of evaluation), and 5 tips that you can use to maximize ROI in corporate training. Maximize The ROI Of Online Training In 5 Ways Let me begin with a few basic definitions related to ROI of online training first: What Is Return On Investment (ROI) In Corporate Training? In general terms, Return on Investment (ROI) is […]
While I don’t believe in learning styles, I do believe people have preferences in how they might want to learn something. I myself prefer watching someone else perform a task and then repeat those steps building my muscle memory for those steps. For example, about once per year, I found it necessary to remove the background from an image. I bookmarked this video created by Allen Partridge from the Adobe eLearning team. This video inspired me to start making my own […]
Chuck Sigmund asked for some help in the Adobe Captivate Users LinkedIn Group. He needs to create a multi-level menu. My solution uses a bit of JavaScript/Jquery trickery and I only built it for the Responsive output. I add a “>” to the beginning of the slide name of any slide I want to indent (ex: >Level 2 slide”). Then I run this JS when the course loads: $( “.tocText nobr:contains(‘>’)” ).each(function( index ) { var str = $( this ).text() var […]
Hello eLearning Community! I have been creating video tutorials for years, but I have been trying to step up my game a bit! Now I use: -a lavalier microphone -Adobe Presenter (since it records you AND the screen at the same time) – an intro animation created in Adobe After Effects -Adobe Premiere for editing, and final output. Everything so far is working, EXCEPT I would like to improve the video! Curious what webcams you might recommend? thanks in advance for […]

From times immemorial, stories have been used to pass knowledge and wisdom through the generations. Using stories for eLearning (or Storytorials) is an established creative Instructional Design approach that creates relatable and engaging learning experiences. In this blog, I share two story based learning examples on professional skills training. Background A story-based-tutorial or a storytorial blends the power of storytelling and principles of Instructional Design to create engaging learning experiences. What are the key benefits of using a storytorial or story […]
Responsive design is a hot topic in the world of web-design, and with good reason no one wants to open a website on their smartphone and scroll horizontally back and forth and vertically to read page’s content or to find the navigation buttons to go to the next page, and the responsive design trend is taking off in the world of eLearning Design as well. The new responsive design tools and work flows are exciting for elearning authors and many […]
There are two types of people in the world. Planners and non-planners. When handed an ELearning project planners tend to sit down and plan things out to some extent while the non-planners dive right in, open Captivate and start to build their course. For this second group of people it isn’t unusual to realize half-way through development or, even worse, when the project is complete that the course you built doesn’t meet the requirements you were given, things don’t work […]
Using PowerPoint Shapes in Captivate Captivate has come a long way in offering a good variety of shapes. However, sometimes there are some shapes that are in PowerPoint but not in Captivate.

Open a blank PowerPoint presentation and choose Insert–> Shapes Let’s use this 3/4 circle for an “incomplete button.” You can format the fill, stroke, and text to match […]
If you have seen some of my use cases or tutorials, you are aware of the fact that I am a big fan of Shared and Advanced actions. Advanced actions are part of Captivate since version 4 and made it possible to extend Captivate’s functionality in many ways. Their release was the reason I started blogging to show how easy it is to create engaging courses without the need of learning a programming language. You just use the point-and-click interface of those actions, which […]
