Register now Date: May 25, 2021 at 8 AM PT When it comes to authoring tools, Adobe Captivate is among the most recommended by users. The authoring tool has quickly managed to capture the minds of all eLearning professionals, whether their expertise level stands at beginner, intermediate, or advanced. But to truly maximize its functionality, you need an inside scoop on the best ways to create courses with it. Presenting the Creators’ Workshop Series! Prepare to take your knowledge of […]
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 […]
This blog post explains the ins and outs of the new, improved Advanced Actions dialog box. It is valid for CP2017 and more recent versions.
The more courses I create, the more I am intrigued by Microlearning. I have really come to realize the smaller form factors of smart phones and diminishing attention span of people provides a whole new opportunity for custom design and instructional modes that may have a more relevant impact. One instructional style does not work for all people or output devices and I think we are at the beginning of an important new instructional technique. Microlearning is creating short learning […]
As I have worked with Adobe Captivate to develop online learning modules I am very excited to see how easy it has become to create responsive courses. Whereas previous versions of Captivate made it very time-consuming to achieve accurate designs for the whole range of screen sizes, the new version has considerably improved. From a project management point of view, the new version with its new fluid box feature not only shortens the production time immensely, the improved workflow also guarantees a high quality […]
I started my career back in July 2015 when I had no experience of developing elearning content, and had never heard of Adobe Captivate before. At first I was in a state of panic, as the word developer filled my stomach with dread, as I can’t code to save my life. But I wasn’t to worry. After learning on the job and also with the help of the internet e.g. Paul Wilson’s videos , I’m now more confident than ever […]
Hi everyone, I’ve recently been fed up with the spell checker in Captivate and decided to find another way/tool. My spelling is pretty good, but I often work on huge projects with lots of slides, and sometimes errors slip through. My first solution was to copy and paste every bit of text on each slide into a word document, but this took forever. It also delayed the delivery date and things still got missed because of hidden layers and hidden groups […]
This was the first time I participated in Adobe eLearning Conference held in Washington D.C. and am I glad that I did so. I understand this was the second time this conference was organized. If I’m not wrong, close to 600 people attended this one, in contrast to about 200 last year (I’m told). I’m someone with one foot in online learning space and the other firmly planted in technical writing. I believe that, no matter how you slice it, […]
I’ve been working in Javascript for over 7 years, and I’ve seen its sudden explosion over the past few years. Moving from the browser to the server, and now becoming a part of other frameworks, including WordPress. Now that I’ve discovered Captivate, I’m going to work hard to create dynamic use of Javascript within my Captivate projects, specifically integrating Captivate in an Angular 2 LMS project. I hope that others will join me to help create a strong presence of Javascript […]
Recently I’ve had several individuals reach out to me asking for advice about going freelance or getting started in eLearning instructional design. I thought I would share my thoughts about this so that others might benefit from my answer. I think it’s important that you have the competencies that organizations are looking for when it comes to learning design. Take a look at as many eLearning job postings as you can and see what credentials these job descriptions have in […]
I’m seeing several people on the Adobe eLearning Community and my own YouTube channel who are upset that they don’t qualify for the complimentary upgrade to Adobe Captivate 2017. Captivate 9 users qualify for the complimentary upgrade if they purchased Captivate 9 very recently. I believe that it’s approximately 1 month or less. You can check your eligibility here: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-policy-product-announcement.html As an example, I purchased Captivate 7 very late in the Captivate 7 product life cycle. So late in fact […]
We’re continuing our quest to redefine the LMS with the latest update to Adobe Captivate Prime. If you haven’t tried Prime yet, now is the time to jump in and explore. The latest updates are amazing, and I’ve had a wonderful time sharing them with people through the new videos and via face to face demonstrations and early previews. What has me so excited? Let me break it down. #1 – The learner experience is flat out sensational The headlights […]
