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 […]
I wanted to vlog you guys another video this week since there’s no eSeminar scheduled and I’m out of the office at a conference. This fun little tidbit is in response to one of the more common questions I get from Adobe Captivate users. The question? Now that Presenter (doesn’t matter which Presenter) doesn’t support embedded Adobe Captivate 5 files (because Presenter hasn’t been updated to AS3) how can I embed Captivate Video Captures, Application Captures, Application Simulations etc. onto […]
It’s easy sometimes to feel like your application capture process is going to capture you. Learning to do application capture well can be a considerable challenge. That’s why I wanted to do an eSeminar showing you some of the best application capture examples I have seen. I was thrilled to be able to do this demo to a packed house of well over 200 Adobe Captivate enthusiasts a couple of weeks ago. If you missed it, the recent session on […]
In this eSeminar I walk listeners / viewers through an introduction to Billy Simington the mistake machine. By following poor Billy’s misadventures we learn a ton of tips and tricks for beginners about how to use AdobeCaptivate. Included were brief discussions of text, rollover text, transitions, preferences, object styles and working with the timeline. I’m also including here a link to the resource files I used in the demo, as well as of course the link to the eSeminar. Demo […]

Video shows the process for creating Captivate 5 Buttons, and attaching Sounds either through rollovers, or through clicks. Either way the sounds are able to play each time the user clicks / rolls over. Enjoy. 😉
Over the last few months, a few users have reported that they have observed an audio cut in the published output of their Captivate projects. This can happen when a continuous audio* is present on all slides of the project and also in the case of discontinuous audio^. If you have observed this issue in your published projects and this is happening even after installing the patch, don’t worry, here are three simple steps you have to follow to […]
In November (2010) I had the pleasure of joining the extraordinary community of eLearning, training and university educators who attended the Media and Learning: Brussels 2010 Conference. I was thrilled to give one of the plenary keynotes, and wowwed by the strong positive feedback overall as well as the wonderful new friends and colleagues I encountered at the event. The good folks at Media & Learning have since placed both the slide deck and an abbreviated video (about 20 of […]
