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 […]
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. Plan on also heading to a Barnes and Nobles this weekend and see what’s […]

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 […]
I’ve just begun using Captivate and Articulate. I am a Master’s Candidate in Instructional Technology and Design. Thus far, I am enjoying using Captivate more than Articulate. Perfect timing at work…two projects came up that needed an Instructional Designer. Perfect! Thus my first foray into integrating Captivate with Canvas. I’ll keep you posted on the comparison of products.
It’s been a while since I created complex interactions with Captivate. Now that I upgraded to Captivate 2017, I needed to refresh my memory about using Advanced Actions and custom effects. I also wanted to try out the new “While” option that was added to the Advanced Actions tool set. I’m not very good at reading through tutorial pages, so I decided to use an old project as my test case: Take an image that far exceeds the dimensions of […]
Do your employees grumble about having to go to another online training class? Do you struggle with online training attendance? Then your company may be ready to upgrade to a new Learning Management System. To know if your current training system is effective, you need to look at various metric parameters. There are many LMS metrics to track and questions to ask to determine if your current Learning Management System meets your needs. Here are 7 crucial things to consider […]
Just beginning my Master’s Degree in Instructional Design and Technology! I am a new user of Captivate, and am yes, I must say “Captivated by it”. It just so happens that my boss had the most dull power point presentation. Well, I got my hands on it today and it’s not dull anymore! Can’t wait to learn more and post some of my work.
Quando temos um projeto e necessitamos aplicar as mesmas cores em Formas, nos perguntamos, como colocar esta cor especifica na paleta de cores. Vou mostrar neste tutorial, como criar e adicionar cores a sua paleta ou trazer de outros softwares como Adobe Illustrator ou Photoshop e atribuir no Adobe Captivate 2017. Primeiro vamos ao menu Janela > Gerenciador de Amostras como mostra a imagem a seguir. Assim que aberto o painel Gerenciamento de Cores, teremos opções para carregar uma paleta […]
Inserting Multi-Slide MP4 video presents Connection Error on Playback of projects published to local machine. 1. Captivate 2017 ver 10.0.192. (Updates controlled by server. In process of validating current version with IT) 2. Project IS NOT published to LMS. Issue presents when published to and viewed from Local Machine. 2. MP4 videos were created using the Software Simulation function in Captivate 2017. (MP4s reside in the publishing directory on the local machine). 3. I have used a relative path as well as a local […]
Based on my previous attempts to use multi-state objects in Captivate, I thought I give it one more try. Here is a slightly more ambitious experiment that appears to rotate an object in two variations: either continuously rotate or allow for manual clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation. The process involved: 1. Importing a sequence of bitmaps and adding them to custom states of an image object. 2. Creating Advanced Actions that change the state of the two radio buttons and nav buttons, based […]
Here is an example for using States and Advanced Actions to “animate” an object. The setup was quite simple: 1. Import a sequence of bitmaps 2. Create custom states and add the images 3. Create some navigational elements 4. Create Advanced Actions that change the state of the image object, based on a counter variable This great new feature opens up lots of possibilities for interactive elements. Well done Captivate! I will keep experimenting with multi-state objects and use them […]
Smart shapes come in handy when working in Captivate. When working in Captivate, I try to use smart shapes as much as possible for elements such as buttons or simple graphics. I like the fact size, shape and color can all be easily changed all from within Captivate and not a graphics program. Smart shapes allow you to test concepts and prototype quickly. I often use smart shape rectangles to put together projects knowing I can easily right click and […]
You may have read about a Microsoft study that pegs the human attention span at 8 seconds while the attention span of a goldfish is believed to be 9 seconds. We may or may not agree with the results of the study but there is clearly a need to have learning strategies that can offset the challenge of dwindling attention spans. In this blog, I highlight how usage of Microlearning is helping learners and organisations offset the challenge of dwindling […]
As adoption of mLearning (or mobile learning) increases, organizations need to migrate their legacy Flash eLearning courses to HTML5. In this article, I highlight how you can use this opportunity to enhance the impact of your online training. Why migration of your eLearning courses from Flash to HTML5 is necessary? As Flash was the leading authoring tool till a few years ago, most organizations have a massive investment in Flash-based courses. Today, most browsers do not support Flash. Today’s learners […]
