Let us take a deep breath first!

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 […]

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.

I posted some comments about the limitations of that solution. In this article the described solution is […]

We’ve always been a little acronym happy in the world of online learning. The inevitable explosion of web technologies has led to a mangled pile of nearly incomprehensible acronyms swimming around in many of today’s trendiest headlines and articles. So what is all this stuff about, and why all the hype / excitement etc. around the latest wave of acronyms? #eLearning #PLE #VLE #ILS #Virtual Worlds #SCORM #LMS

Lynda.com launched Captivate 5 essentials training last month. I’ve always found Lynda.com training to be concise, easy to consume, and real value for money ($25/month). The course is created and delivered by James Lockman, an Adobe solutions engineer. James is an Adobe Certified Expert and has many years of experience teaching and training. The course runs 7hrs and 11 mins. It contains 14 sections covering all the key features. Each section is made up of multiple modules of 5-6min duration, […]

Part 7 of 10 in the Creating effective eLearning Modules Series (Coherence): http://adobe.ly/eI4N9i The focus of this week’s eSeminar was on application of the Coherence Principle of Multimedia eLearning Design and Development.

This trend persists from last week as we continue the many part series designed to help put together the best eLearning modules. Each week I describe an element of […]

Each session will be facilitated by two Adobe trainers (to ensure that you get more one-on-one attention). This training program is targeted towards the relative new comers to Captivate. […]

The article quickly describes what’s new in Quizzing of Captivate 5. Also how it makes the life of both a quiz maker and quiz taker easier, quicker and simpler.
