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 […]
When we are working on a large course with many topics and sub-topics, it’s a good idea to include all the topics along with sub-topics on the menu page. But this can result into a content heavy screen and doesn’t give a neat look. In such a scenario we can add Spry Menu functionality on the menu page, where when you hover over the topic, the sub-topics appear and become accessible. Here’s an example screen with a Spry Menu. Hover […]
In an eLearning course, we create different types of screens with rollover audio, rollover text, rollover image, rollover slidelet, click-reveal text, click-display animation, pop-ups, tabs, etc. We saw how to create some of these screens in my previous blog posts. Now let’s see how we can create a timeline screen with Adobe Captivate 5.5 using advanced actions. A timeline screen is the best way to graphically represent the events in chronological order, especially historical events. You can weave these events […]

There are a lot of ways to create branched courses. One of the simple yet powerful way is to use the capability of text entry boxes along with advanced actions. Here’s an example where I’ve branched the course based on the user input in a text entry box. Let’s see a step-by-step demonstration to create such branching.
It’s always a good idea to add audio to your courses in the form of voice over. It saves the learners from reading a lot of onscreen text, and helps you in effectively using the screen real estate to graphically represent the concepts. If you want to go a step further, videos are an ideal solution here. You can hear as well as see the trainer/coach. But again, some part of the screen area has to be assigned for the […]
Is there room for common sense in modern business and eLearning. Radical thinker and eLearning Rebel*, Cathy Moore started our morning this morning with a heretical tweet; Client: “Teach them how to complete our complex process.” You: “Is there any way to make the process less complex?” #IDideas – @CatMoore Now you may be asking yourself, why does
When we create eLearning courses for global audience, we need to localize these courses in different languages (quickly). Creating the course from scratch is not a feasible option. Here the Exporting and Importing Text Captions workflow in Adobe Captivate comes for rescue. It really makes the localization procedure simple, fast, and effective. You just need to follow these simple steps to create a localized version of the course:
We can create cool tween animations with Adobe Flash and use them for the objects in Adobe Captivate. This is possible using the power of XML. Watch an example screen, where a drawing object created in Adobe Captivate has the bouncing animation effect applied. Let’s see how we can apply such effects to our Adobe Captivate objects.
