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 […]
As we are aware, Closed Captions makes the content more interesting for the learners. Generally, they are associated with Audio in a Slide but what if we need the Closed Captions but with a Video? We have the perfect solution for that using Slide Video’s Closed Captions Feature. View the following demonstration to know what I’m talking about. Let’s see how to achieve this using the Slide Video feature.
I’m thrilled to announce today that Adobe is offering owners of Adobe Presenter 7 and Adobe eLearning Suite a completely free update to Adobe Presenter. Adobe Presenter 7.07 is a fairly significant change in the overall Presenter delivery so users will need to uninstall 7 and then install the fresh copy of 7.07. If you haven’t used it before, Adobe Presenter is
When creating an eLearning course, it’s a good practice to display content for the learner in bite-size pieces. For this, we usually create interactive screens with a pop-up, click-reveal text, rollover text, rollover audio, tabs, click-display animation, etc. But the fact that the learner might miss out on some hidden content is always our cause of worry. Instructional text comes for rescue here to guide the learner to click/roll-over the object. But the instructional text doesn’t seem to be sufficient […]

Given the current scenario of Education industry where time is a constraint and learners are spread across different geographies, eLearning seems to be a quick answer for most of the training needs. Be it large organizations, freelance trainers and SMEs, or entrepreneurs getting into training sector, everybody would like to dive into the field of eLearning with the enthusiasm to deliver content more effectively or efficiently, along with achieving maximum return on investment.
I got an interesting suggestion by Jeff, a Captivate user, on my last week’s blog post. Here’s how it goes… Thank you Jeff for the suggestion. 🙂 Here’s the resolution
Scenario: Many times having a custom button to mute or unmute the sound being played helps a lot. In this post we will discuss how to do that step-by-step. BTW, there is mute/unmute audio button is available in the Playbar as well. This one is to have just this button when we don’t want to have the complete Playbar. See the following demonstration to know what I’m referring to.
Hello Captivate Rock Stars young and old. I’ve been plugging away on this one for a while now – in part because I realize how really central it is to understanding Captivate as a whole. I’ve always been fascinated by learning, but there is one phenomenon in learning which I find particularly
Scenario: You are creating an eLearning course, which spans into multiple modules. You want to tie it all together and have a Menu page from where you would like to access these modules. You also want to enable bookmarking so that a tick mark appears next to the module name, after the learner has viewed the module. Here’s an example: Let’s see
You are creating an assessment and you want to allow two or more attempts to answer the question correctly. For each attempt, you want to provide some hint in the form of feedback to direct the learner to the correct response. This can be easily done with Adobe Captivate 5/5.5 using the Failure Levels option for the question slide. With this option, you can
I love word clouds. You know, those cool clusters of words that give instant summary of concepts by making words bigger and bolder the more times they are used somewhere. Today I thought it would be fun to show you how you can make wicked cool word clouds based on your Adobe Captivate (and even Microsoft PowerPoint) projects in just
