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.

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 […]
In this video, I will explain why you would use the Trim feature in your Adobe Captivate Video Demos and how to use it.
OK, folks, here goes nothing. Let me start this by providing my bit about my background. I’ve been designing, developing and certifying 508 complaint web based trainings for the government departments for the past several years in multiple positions with multiple departments and agencies. This post will not give you a checklist that ensures your project will pass testing – it’s simply an attempt to share what I have learned. Lesson #1: 508 compliant and 508 certified are not equal […]
On a recent live stream, I was asked about which tools I use to create my eLearning and video tutorials. I gave a partial answer during the live stream but I thought I would go a little more in-depth on that question here. Adobe Captivate I think it’s obvious that I use Adobe Captivate and almost always have the latest version. I do also keep the previous version installed on my main system. Up to and including presently I have […]
Welcome back, Cadets, and Happy New Year! In this post, I’d like to focus our attention on the theory side of things. In particular, a topic whose importance in the eLearning arena was really brought to my attention by a colleague of mine named Jim Garland. Jim, spending several years working in the eLearning industry, has helped open my eyes to countless considerations that differ from my background as a traditional secondary educator. However, one topic that Jim has helped […]
As a newbie I have grown so appreciative of this community. As Pooja stated in a previous post, this really has become a one-stop shop for Captivate resources to so many of us. For that reason I feel it is only appropriate to begin making contributions myself for the newbies to come. This week marks 3 months for me as a Captivate user, and I continue to learn so much each day. When our organization decided to make the switch […]

I have had this thought/question bouncing around my head for the last few days, “Should I create a personal Adobe eLearning community profile or just continue using my work profile?” Let me explain why this has been nagging at me. Currently I log into the eLearning community with my work adobe account. I want to become more involved in submitting material and assisting when possible as I think this is an invaluable resource and forum. My concern stems from the […]
I went to record a video demo this morning and I got the following message: Capture is disallowed since High-density display was detected. Please set ‘DpiAwareness = 1’ in AdobeCaptivate.ini and restart the application. In this video, I show you how you can configure Adobe Captivate 9 to work with high-density displays.
Gamification is a problematic concept in eLearning. It means so many different things to so many people. Sure, it’s clear that using game principles and mechanics in learning content and learning management has obvious potential advantages, but what exactly do people mean when they say that something incorporates gamification, and why is gamification so different depending on the context of the gamification? Let’s start with the basics. Gamification is a generic term to describe the addition of game concepts to […]
