Let us take a deep breath first! If we have overused our superlatives in describing any previous contests on this forum, we will like to take it back, and place it here, as what we have witness in these last few weeks on elearning.adobe.com/projects page was nothing short of a phenomenon. 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 […]

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 […]
If you have ever made rollover captions and tried to preview or publish a project in HTML5, I am guessing you have seen this box at some point. Wait… What…? Not supported…? UGH! but rollover captions are really cool! In this blog post, I hope to share with you an idea that, while it may not be perfect for every scenario, may help you with some future projects. Not only should it remove the box above when you try to […]
Not so long ago we were tasked with creating an eLearning project that included a software demonstration of an iPhone mobile app. We experimented with several techniques for capturing the app including using a program that reflected the iPhone onto the computer. To reflect our iPhone to the computer, we used a program called, wait for it, Reflector. Once the phone and computer were on the same wireless network, it was easy to get Reflector to show the mobile device […]
In diesem Video zeige ich Ihnen, wie Sie ein wirklich leeres Projekt oder wahlweise ein benutzerdefiniertes Design als Standard anlegen können.
Last few years have seen a steady increase in demand for conversion of Instructor Led Training (ILT) to fully online or a blended training. In this blog, I outline what exactly is blended training approach and what are the benefits it offers to the learners and organisations. What is the blended training approach? As you can determine from the name, the blended training is the “middle of the road” approach between the fully facilitated Instructor Led Training (ILT) and self-paced, learner driven […]

Did you know that the number of mobile apps downloaded in 2017 was over 197 billion across the world? Given that, most of us use apps for various […]
As some of you may know, The advanced answer option hasn’t proven to be all that compatible with the new fluid box responsive design features in Adobe Captivate 2017. Hopefully, this is something that Adobe will rectify in the not too distant future. In the meantime, please check out my workaround that uses a single shape that uses multi-state objects.
Introduction If you are not hosting your project on an LMS and you want a simple way to save and retrieve user data (such as high scores and names) than local storage is a good way to go. Adobe’s current documentation on Local Storage https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/common-js-interface.html only focuses on storing ‘strings’ such as user names, so this tutorial also shows how to work with integers (numbers) as well. I have included a .cptx file and will be referring to it throughout this tutorial. localStorage A few […]
Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to use JavaScript to delay the next action, similarly the way you would using advanced actions. I don’t see this information listed anywhere in the JavaScript Interface. Thanks
This is for anyone interested in learning more about how to use JavaScript with Captivate. Here’s a list of 5 simple yet commonly used JavaScripts I use. 1. Arrays Arrays are awesome and this quick reference only covers a fraction of their power. Let’s say you have a several comments that you want to use throughout your project at various times.

Generate Random Quotes and Messages
I hope this blog is useful to anyone who wants to incorporate a random motivational quote or ‘tip of the day’ message into their projects. I attached a sample .cptx file as well. randomQuotes Step 1: Write the Quotations in an Array The hardest part about creating any random quote generator is finding, copying and pasting the actual quotes. Luckily there are lots of websites such as textfiles.com that could help you out – that’s where I got this file. Your array must […]
