Let us take a deep breath first!

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 […]
Intro The origin of this article is (again) due to a forum question: “I want to rotate a triangle around a certain point” using the Rotation effect. It is time to explain the importance of the reference or registration point for objects in Captivate. In other Adobe applications like Illustrator, InDesign, Animate you have lot of control over that point. Look at this small screenshot: it shows that reference point in two different locations. Sorry for the low resolution, it […]
Overview Technology should not be used as a method for delivering information to learners, but instead it should be use as to assist learners in developing knowledge. Technologies should engage learners in meaningful learning, where learners are intentionally and actively processing information while pursuing authentic tasks in order to construct personal and socially shared meaning for the phenomena they are exploring and manipulating (Jonassen, Peck, Wilson, 1999). The sweet spot of technology-constructive activities is for technology to help learners articulate […]
Case Study: I Get By With a Little Help from JavaScript… with Amazing Results A while ago, I was asked if I could put together a set of addition problems for children in Captivate. However, the requirements were a bit daunting: The learner could continue solving problems, one after the other, all day. In essence, the number of problems to solve would need to be in the hundreds. Thoughts: Wouldn’t that mean creating hundreds of Captivate slides? Should they be […]
