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 […]
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.

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 […]
We thought we’d share this for three reasons: a) We think the content in itself will be interesting to the community b) I think it shows how nicely you can push Captivate to make interactive video files. This does NOT look like a vanilla Captivate course, but I can assure you it is all done in Captivate. Really! c) We’re crowd sourcing user testing to make sure it really does work on all devices without glitch! Let us […]
Probably my favourite feature addition for Adobe Captivate in recent years is multi state objects. When it was first released with the launch of Adobe Captivate 9, I was initially lukewarm to multi-state objects. Prior to version 9, I had three states in my image buttons for up, down, and over; and that was just fine with me. What I didn’t realize was how many different situations I could use multi state objects for. I decided to share some of […]
eLearning designers and consumers are constantly looking for ways to “spice up” their courses through the use of graphics, interactions, characters and even games. Adobe Captivate has always given you many ways to incorporate these assets into your course, but with the newest release (Captivate 9.0.2) they made it even easier. In the newest release of Captivate 9.0.2, you may have noticed several changes: increased speed, better access to the Adobe Stock library, and a new and improved Assets widget. […]
You can easily provide text descriptions for your simulations. These descriptions provide details about the movie or slide to users of screen readers and other assistive technology. Just go to Edit > Preferences > Project Information and fill in the details.
1.In an open project that you want to publish as 508-compliant, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Captivate > Preferences (Mac OS). 2.In the Category panel, expand Project, and select Publish Settings. 3.Select Enable Accessibility in the Project panel.

Buffering occurs if there are server latency issues. Here are some tips to reduce buffering: ´Minimize data requests by modifying quiz settings ´Set up the quiz to use the SendTrackingDataAtEnd template so that quiz data is tracked only when the user exits the module and not throughout the project. ´Set up the quiz reporting to report quiz results only ´Set the project pre-loader appropriately

Enabling 508 Compliance makes certain elements in Adobe Captivate projects accessible or open to accessibility technology. For example, if 508 Compliance is enabled, and you have filled in the project name and project description text boxes in Project preferences, a screen reader will read the name and description when the Adobe Captivate SWF file is played. The following Adobe Captivate elements are accessible when 508 Compliance is enabled: ´Project name (derived from Project Properties) ´Project description (derived from Project Properties) ´Slide […]
One of the best features of Captivate is that it is an Adobe product. This means that Captivate integrates seamlessly with other “Made in Adobe” applications, despite the fact that Captivate is not part of Creative Cloud. In this post, I want to explore the integration between Captivate and Photoshop. We will mainly focus on three Photoshop features that allow you to establish an efficient workflow between Photoshop and Captivate. 1) The Layers Layers are at the heart of any […]
What!!! You haven’t created a responsive eLearning course yet using Adobe Captivate 8 or 9? Well, I hate to inform you, but you are already behind the times.

That is why I love Adobe Captivate’s ability to provide responsive design. I helped Kevin Siegel […]
