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.

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 […]
The Virtual Training Company (VTC) has introduced a comprehensive online training module for Captivate 4. The course is authored by Mark Fletcher, one of our most active community experts, multiple years running. A monthly subscription of $30, provides you access to the 780+ courses on VTC . I believe at this price, the VTC course is the most comprehensive coverage of Captivate (also, the first 3 modules are free). The course runs 9 hrs, but is well organized into comfortable […]
We receive many enquiries on how to download the Text-to-Speech voices from our site… I have to say the experience can be a little bit of a treasure hunt.

Adobe Captivate,printed version of E-learning course,publish to word,E-Learning Well yes!.. Printed versions of your e-learning courses prove to be instrumental in re-iterating the learning. They can turn out to be of huge help when you need a reference at future point of time when the e-learning course is no more accessible. Recently, I took an e-learning course on how to file income tax returns. Boy!! Believe me filing IT returns in India is pretty taxing. When I actually sat down […]

The sessions were well attended and each lasted about an hour. The first has a more pragmatic emphasis with a focus on creating and delivering mLearning solutions using Adobe Captivate and the eLearning Suite. The second is a deeper […]

Our nascent eLS customer base has voted us up over other established products. I would like to […]

I’m certain these are collated based on the key issues he has encountered over the […]
Early last month, Patti Shank did a detailed review of Captivate 4 on TrainingMediaReview. She highlights something that we’ve been hearing from a lot of the forward looking learning departments- ‘The workflow process for learning content creation is changing.’ Patti writes… “Much of the content that we previously needed developers to produce can now be produced by our instructional designers or clients’ training staff and SMEs. Storyboards (if used) are no longer cumbersome Word or Excel tables describing screen content, […]
