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.

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 […]
Hint captions are captions that appear if the learner gets close to the Click Box (hot spot) but does not actually click on the Click Box. If the learner clicks in the wrong place while moving through the lesson, the learner sees a corrective message through the Failure Caption.

You can create simulations and demonstrations using Adobe Captivate. Simulations are usually interactive software simulations that allow the learner to click through and try the application being taught. Captivate allows you to set two simulation modes – training simulation and assessment simulation. Assessment simulations include Click Boxes (to make the lesson interactive) and Failure Captions (to help the user who clicks in the wrong place or performs the wrong step). Training simulations are similar to assessment simulations. However, in addition to Click […]
A video demo is ideal for situations when you want to capture complex procedures that involve scrolling, drawing, basically any action that is more than a series of mouse-clicks.
When you record video demos, instead of capturing single screens for each mouse click, you record one seamless video. Once you finish recording the video, you can add text captions, highlight boxes, smart shapes, images, animations, and characters. However, you cannot add interactive objects such as click boxes, buttons, quizzes, or text entry boxes. You can publish a video demo only as an MP4 video.
Training simulations are similar to assessment simulations. Like assessment simulations, training simulations include click boxes, and failure captions. However, unlike assessment simulations, training simulations also include hint captions (captions that appear if the learner gets close to the click box, but does not actually click it).
Assessment simulations are used to create interactive eLearning lessons. Using this recording mode, you can create lessons that include click boxes (to make the lesson interactive), and failure captions (to help learner who clicks in the wrong place or performs the wrong step). These do not include text captions.
Use the demonstration mode of recording if you want to record a quick concept to someone, but you don’t expect the learner to follow along and actually perform the steps being demonstrated. Demonstration mode automatically includes text captions, highlight boxes, and mouse movements. To record a demonstration, click File > Record new Software Simulation, and then select Demo in the Recording Options. See the following video for more information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv09GAZLxWw
Install Adobe Captivate Reviewer Open the CREV file using Adobe Captivate Reviewer Add comments to the SWF file
After creating and editing an Adobe Captivate project, you can publish the project for review on an internal server using the File > Send for Shared Review workflow. The project is published as a CREV file, a custom SWF file that is used for review. Reviewers can review the CREV file by opening it in Adobe Captivate Reviewer, an AIR application. The installer for the application, AdobeCaptivateReviewer.air, is present in the location where you installed Adobe Captivate. You can also […]
Notes: Resizing a project cannot be “undone” with a toolbar button or key combination such as Control+Z. Resizing a project numerous times can result in quality deterioration. As far as possible, try to resize a project only once. Before you start, resize buttons. Resizing a project does not resize the buttons automatically. 1.In an open project, select Modify > Rescale Project. 2.Select your preferred size options, and click Finish. For more information on resizing your project, and for help with […]
