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 […]

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 […]
elearning,Collaboration,NetBooks,Performance Support,GenX,GenY,Immersive Learning,rapid elearning John Medina in his keynote address at the eLearning Guild November 2008 conference talked about how the fundamentals of how a person learns do not change decade on decade – in fact, it is an evolutionary process. Believing in John (and I am not suggesting that we should not) leads us to a scenario where the workplace learning environment will not be significantly different than what we see today. However, our knowledge of this learning process […]

Adobe Captivate 4,Captivate library Captivate accepts high quality images, animations, FLVs, audio files etc. Content generation is an iterative process and hence content developers use these resources across different sections of their project, and even across multiple projects.

Let’s look at this basic but very powerful functionality which Adobe Captivate provides. So, where is this […]

eLearning through comic strips,fun in eLearning Very few of us would deny that cartoons played an important role in initial days of our life. Mostly it was for fun. But did we ever realize that many of them were trying to make us learn something. They were interspersed in between our favourite comic strips and came in the form of “did you know” strips. In the present web 2.0 context we all know Wikipedia is a great soure of information […]

PowerPoint and Captivate,PowerPoint and Flash,PowerPoint edit Captivate 4 supports editing Powerpoint presentations once imported into Captivate. Captivate achieves this by maintaining the original powerpoint presentation within the Captivate project.

Captivate maintains this original presentation in two possible ways: Embedded – User’s original presentation is copied into the captivate project (and visible in the library). This […]
PowerPoint Animations,On-Click Animations,Powerpoint and Captivate On-Click animations can be added in Powerpoint – animations start when users click the mouse.

Movies pause for user click when it encounters the on-click animations. In this context, I noticed some confusion faced by users (reported on user forum). When importing PowerPoint presentations, there is an […]
