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 tried various ways of lighting videos that I shoot at my desktop with Presenter Video Express. I’ve even purchased a selfie ring light, but I’m not quite sure how to work that into the equation. I know several members create professional looking videos for their work, and I’ve also seen some very high-quality videos presented in this forum. What suggestions do you have for lighting your videos? What works best for you? What should be the “standard” setup? Any […]
I had an experience this week in developing a theme/template for a client that I thought could be the basis for this weeks discussion. I started off with the intention of developing a fluid box based theme/template for their upcoming Adobe Captivate work. In the end, their requirements are such that using breakpoints makes more sense. Follow the link right now to set up a reminder for yourself so you get notified when this LIVE STREAM goes live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBsZsRQVFaA If you […]
In addition to being an e-learning developer, I am a magician. No, really, I am. Yes, that kind. Mind you, you won’t find me pulling a rabbit out of a hat or anything, but I’ve been known to work a few feats of prestidigitation into some of my recent conference presentations. It’s all about matching the effect with the content of my presentation. That’s what a good corporate magician does. I recently attended a magic lecture where the magician talked […]
There seems to be a healthy amount of subject matter experts here inspiring us with posts on how to do some of the more advanced things in Captivate. As a new user, I made several time consuming mistakes in my first few weeks with the product, things that may be obvious to some, but had me shouting at the screen in frustration. Here are how to do some very simple things that completely had me stumped: How on earth do I […]
Captivate is the distant cousin of the Adobe family. It doesn’t care about the hours you may have put in with the other products, which all play well together and look as though they came from the same parents. Upon first opening it, nothing will look reassuring or familiar, presumably the coders and designers also sit away from everyone else in the Adobe cafeteria. This initial disorientation threw me when I started with the software, just a few weeks ago. If […]
Hi everyone, I wish to test the geolocation variable in captivate. – In order, I create a very easy slide with an avatar who say “hello my name is Ben” when the use is in UK, and “Bonjour, je suis Ben!” when the learner is in France. Picture 1 : – Then I create 2 geolocation variable : one UK location / one France location. Picture 2 : – Next step I create an conditional advance action […]
Intro About two weeks ago Captivate 10, now labeled Captivate 2017 was released. If you did visit my blog in the past, you know that I prefer to wait a while before posting my first impressions. My focus is also more on the non-hype features added in this release, I call them the ‘hidden’ gems. Some are mentioned in the documentation, some not. Update undocumented feature – August 2017 This week I discovered an undocumented enhancement thanks to a user […]
I found a question in my inbox today and thought the answer might interest others. The question in a nutshell is, how can I get feedback from people after they take my course? This is a pretty simple task in Captivate Prime. I’ve outlined the steps below. You can activate automatic triggers for the feedback to immediately follow the course in the admin section in Prime. Here’s how to find it. Step 1: Change your role to Admin (upper right corner, […]
How do I assign a value to a variable both system and user already created through the javascript box? So also how to use a variable created via javascript var name in the Advanced Actions option?

by Kevin Siegel, COTP You’ve imported your corporate logo into your project, and you’ve used the logo throughout the project (on both master slides and Filmstrip slides). One day, and without much fanfare, your marketing department updates the logo. Did anyone bother to tell you? Well, yes… there was that memo. However, your project was just about done; and now you’re going to have to scour through the project, delete each occurrence of the logo, and replace it with the new […]
