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 won’t be conducting my usual #eLearning #LIVESTREAM this week, however, instead I will be a guest on an eLearning Brothers webinar Thursday, August 24th, 2017. In this webinar, eLearning Brothers hosts Paul Wilson, noted Captivate expert as he takes learners through some of the features and parameters of the Adobe Captivate drag and drop interface. Paul will demonstrate some in which you can customize your drag and drops to fit all your different learning scenarios. In addition, he will […]
In diesem Video zeige ich Ihnen die Fluid-Box-Einstellungen Fluss und Umbrechen im Rahmen eines responsiven Projektes in Adobe Captivate 2017.
In this first part of a two part video tutorial, I cover the procedures for recording your software simulation. Make sure you watch the second part to see how I edit my recordings. Prior to starting your recording, it’s important to take certain preparation steps to make sure you are truly ready to record. Script out your steps – Practise your steps so you know exactly what you’re going to record. Run Captivate as an administrator – I generally run […]
I know that a lot of users still use Captivate 9, so I put this video that shows a way to make a loop animation with Captivate 9. The purpose of this video consists in showing how to illustrate a background with a loop animation. The process shows a scenery running in loop and the way to design it: by creating visual cycles within a picture as we do in cartoons, then by applying an animation effect to this created […]
Intro Happy New Year 2017 to all Captivate users! Quite a while ago I wrote an article about Timeline secrets in Captivate 5: Tiny Timeline Tidbits Since the change in the UI with Captivate 8 , the newbie User Interface minimizes the Timeline panel by default which is really a pity (personal opinion). Some of the questions I read, at least partially due to that decision to hide the Timeline: ‘I want to get rid of the timeline, don’t need it […]
Introduction In a previous blog post I explained the ins and outs of the new Advanced Actions dialog box. If you feel confused about my terminology in this more practical blog post, please read that first article. A decision block of type ‘While’ is totally new in version 2017. It has some similarities with the Conditional decision block (IF, Then, Else) but offers new possibilities as you’ll see in this simple game. The While loop can be used to create […]
Hello,I need to use Captivate for an upcoming project. I have used Captivate 8 before, but now I have the option to install Captivate 10. Should I go for the 10 version because its latest? Or can I use 8 because I have already worked on it and quite familiar with the functionalities? TIA
Intro With Captivate 9 multistate objects was one of the most welcome new features. In previous versions only buttons and shape buttons had states like ‘Rollover’ (hover) and ‘Down’. Interactive objects like buttons/shape buttons have InBuilt States: ‘Normal’, ‘Rollover’, Down and with Captivate 2017 a fourth InBuilt state was added: ‘Visited’. For all objects, static or interactive, you can create custom states.. Less known is the presence of InBuilt states for all objects in a Drag&Drop slide, both for drag […]
Do you want the flexibility of setting your own schedule? Do you get bored working in just one eLearning niche? In this article, I’ll highlight 5 benefits associated with eLearning freelancing. Freelancing can give you the ultimate freedom to live your life, while also earning a stable income. If you are tired of working on the same eLearning topics time after time, or if you just aren’t that interested in landing a job with an eLearning organization, then an e-Learning […]
A year ago, August 9th to be precise, the Adobe eLearning Community was born. And what a year it’s been. A year full of excitement for all of us at Adobe and hopefully for all of you out there who have been instrumental in making this portal one of the most widely used and popular resources in the eLearning space today. The Community over this past year has clearly grown to be a place where all eLearning professionals, from ‘newbie’ […]
Why this short post? If you have read my article about the 3 most important stumbling blocks for Captivate (newbie) users, you’ll know that Themes are amongst them. The components of themes are described in What’s in a Theme/template. and in this post you’ll learn about he use of Theme colors. Almost daily I see questions, comments on the forums like “I don’t use a theme” which is – sorry for the word – nonsense because every project is based on a theme. The theme […]
