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. However, if anyone can recommend any books that were of great help to you and Captivate, let me know! Currently, I have a few in my Amazon cart but just not sure which would be good. 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 […]

Creating interactive animations using Effects In the previous post we learnt how to effectively use timing effects. In this post we will focus on triggered effects. It’s a common scenario to attract attention to a specific item on the slide (say by zooming in the item) on some learner interaction (say a button click). Triggered effects let you achieve this. Select any interactive item of your interest (say button) & chose “Apply Effect” on the relevant event (say “On Success”) […]
The Adobe Presenter installer needs a compatible version of MS PowerPoint for installation, and previously this prevented Presenter installation on machines with MS Office 2010. The Adobe Presenter installer has now been updated to enable installation on a computer having MS PowerPoint 2010. This compatibility is limited to the installation of English, French, German and Japanese versions of Adobe Presenter only. You can download this Presenter version from the Adobe Presenter homepage (click on the download link) For using Adobe […]
Before I tell you about the exciting eSeminar we had this week watch the video below. With nearly four million views on YouTube you may already have seen it. It’s a great introduction to the topic at hand. Which was essentially; why are students finding, using and innovating via products like Adobe Captivate 5. The video above was created by students from the Kansas State University as a project for Dr. Michael Wesch’s Basic Anthropology course. In this amazing effort […]
This article emphasizes more on enhancements/refinements done in the AdvancedActions feature. You can see a fresh look of the UI that is completely different from Captivate 4. The idea behind refactoring the UI is to make users feel more comfortable in using AdvancedActions and also to develop dynamic content rapidly. Most of the times you need a simple set of actions to be executed in sequence without any user defined conditions. So a new segregation is added namely ‘Standard […]
On Tuesday of this week President Obama was at Julia Masterman School in Philadelphia, PA for his annual back-to-school speech. About 10 minutes in he said to the students, “You’ve got an obligation to yourselves, and America has an obligation to your education.” The speech itself is available here if you’re in the mood for a good old fashioned back to school motivation. I was curious about Masterman, and then amused to learn that Kevin Bacon, yes as in six […]
In today’s eLearning eSeminar we focused on Tom’s big decision. Tom (a completely fabricated amalgum of the many people I talk to all the time) is faced with a pressing question. Should he continue the status quo, producing conventional eLearning and face to face training in spite of mounting pressure from senior management to produce ever increasing volumes of online learning? Or should he switch to Rapid eLearning. It isn’t an easy decision, and Tom is faced with lot’s of […]
A background image sure enhances the look of a slide any day. Captivate has always supported background images, so what’s new with Adobe Captivate 5? Adobe Captivate 5 now allows editing of an image which is inserted as a background. By editing, I mean you can apply some basic filters and do some transitions. All the edit operations for a background image are available in the Resize/Crop dialog. For large images (images that have a resolution greater than that of […]
We had an amazing eSeminar last week as Tristan Ward (with a little back up from Rod Ward) taught me how to create Adobe Captivate 5 Widgets using the Widget Factory. A group of nearly 80 Advanced Adobe Captivate users looked on for vicarious instruction as Tristan taught me one step at a time how to download and install Widget Factory. We walked through associating the custom library with Flash Professional CS5, and learned how to reference the library using […]
In last week’s eSeminar we focused on the eLearning Suite Workflows. It was all about Karen, a typical eLearning Professional, as we Walked through the general workflows. http://bit.ly/bSjM90 Understanding the Adobe eLearning Suite Workflow Dr. Allen Partridge, Adobe eLearning Evangelist, will present a one hour online e-Seminar for intermediate users of Adobe Captivate and / or Adobe eLearning Suite. The core issue will be expediting eLearning development with the complete toolset provided in Adobe eLearning Suite 2. It was a […]
Apple’s recent announcement that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for the publishing options available from Captivate 5 and Adobe eLearning Suite 2. You can now author your elearning courses in Captivate and publish them as a swf to run on any Flash enabled device, or follow the steps below to publish the same as an iPhone app. To deploy a Captivate course on an iPhone you need Adobe eLearning Suite 2, or both […]
In Adobe Captivate 5 master slide is a feature which allows author to share their common content and reuse across slides. The limitations with master slides (m/s) are that you cannot edit the m/s objects on slides. They can be edited only on master slides and any editing done will be reflected on all linked slides. But we assume authors want to create a slide from master slide and want to edit them also on respective slides. What do you do […]
