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.

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 […]
Some of you had written enquiring about the recording to RJ’s webinar on Captivate 4 (from July 17th). Good news! This was recorded and can be accessed here. Considering the amount of material RJ covers in a webinar, I’m sure even those who attended the session will find this to be good reference material. RJ will also be conducting another webinar on the Adobe eLearning Suite. In this webinar, you will explore how you can leverage each of the 9 […]
Have you ever felt the need of sending an e-mail notification as soon as a course or a captivate demonstration is over. We know about the “Send E-Mail” button in the Results slide but what if there are no question slides or quiz in your project?? Here is how you could do this very easily using the following steps: 1. Add a question slide and then remove the quiz slide so that only the result slide remains. In the result […]

A lot of legacy learning content is in PowerPoint format and it is natural that e-learning course authors want to leverage or re-use this content. The earlier versions of Captivate allowed users to import their PowerPoint content into their Captivate projects. Now Captivate 4 goes much further- Cp4 now supports full round-tripping with the PowerPoint content. It supports collaborative authoring with the SME’s who use PowerPoint. Detailed below are some key aspects of this powerful feature: – You can import […]

elearning,ASTD,rapid elearning,recession And more inclusive? I am allowed to dream once in a while. I was in Washington DC to attend the ASTD conference earlier this month and was lucky to catch this great interview on TV with Anne Mulcahy, CEO Xerox Corporation, Eric Schmidt, CEO Google and James W. Owens, CEO Caterpillar. The 3 CEOs spend most of time analyzing the current business environment and how its is affecting their specific business. They also gave some insight as to […]
Time! Needless to say that it is one thing every one of us is short of…. Captivate 3 introduced multi-mode recording- wherein you could record an application once, and generate 3 different projects from this recording- a demo, a simulation (training) and an assessment. This was a big timesaver. Now I’ll show you a way how you can take this one step further. Many a time, you would end up going into your recorded projects and making further fine grained […]
Recording narration in Adobe Captivate’s audio record dialog by reading out the slide note text is a common workflow. For this, one would use the slide notes window which is available at the bottom of the ‘Record Audio’ dialog. But usability becomes an issue when your slide notes are too lengthy to fit in the small slide notes compartment provided at the bottom. And yes, as users must have discovered, there is no easy way to resize the window too! […]
A typical scenario for creating an elearning course with Captivate is to create multiple 5-10 min modules of Captivate movies that are integrated using the aggregator or the multi-sco packager or by creating your own navigation shell using Flash Pro.

The Adobe eLearning Suite integrates Adobe Captivate and Adobe Acrobat Pro to help you create a PDF portfolio containing your Captivate movies, complete with […]
