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 […]

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 […]

In future posts we will slowly move to more complex widgets covering other aspects of this framework – Decide user interface of your widget – The user interface should allow users to specify the youtube video url.

Adobe Captivate,eLearning,rapid eLearning,Templates,Placeholders One of the many good things in Adobe Captivate is the facility to create Project Templates. Project templates are really useful to create identical projects or identical modules in a project. Their “make once and reuse” aspect ensures consistency and saves development time. So what is new in Adobe Captivate 4’s project templates? PLACEHOLDERS!! Placeholders are objects which can be included on the slides in a project template. These placeholders can be converted to respective Captivate objects […]
captivate 4,actions,hide/show Adobe Captivate 4 has added a number of new actions. This blog entry will deal with two of them – Hide and Show. In this post we had seen how to add footers to slides in Adobe Captivate 4. The post ended with a promise of providing an action twist. In this post, we will try to create two sets of footers in a captivate project. And we will achieve that end using the new actions – Hide […]
Captivate,eLearning,Conferences,rapid eLearning,Lectora,Flash Learning Technologies 2009 was held in London, from 28th to 29th of January, 2009. The conference was well attended by around 3000 learning professionals primarily from UK. I was interested to see how the learning and development world was coping with the struggling economic environment and if any trends were emerging in coping with the same. It was heartening to see that the industry was well represented through participation by Adobe, SumTotal, Trivantis, TechSmith, OutStart, NIIT, Tata Interactive, […]
Captivate 3 (and now 4) supports importing a Microsoft Power Point file. Captivate slide dimensions are defined in pixels, while Power Point defines slide size in inches. Many of you might have faced problems with stretched / shrunken objects because of a mismatch in the dimensions of the imported Power Point slides and your Captivate project. Below are a couple of tips that will help you avoid this issue in future. You can create a new project “From MS Power […]
Lot of you who have used Captivate 3 or lesser version would know how much rework was required in case you re-scaled your project. Some of the top concerns were:- When re-sizing a project to small size and opt for rescale, the caption text don’t resize Inserting question slides in a resized project does not re-size the captions available on the question slide. Objects on a question slide are of fixed size irrespective of the project size Here’s the […]
Large eLearning projects are always difficult to maintain and the authoring process is inefficient because of lack of parallelism and collaboration. Adobe Captivate 4 allows you to break up project into bite-sized modules which can be authored and maintained by multiple people. Modular development has the following advantages: Allows parallel development – many people working on the same project at same time Delivers scalability – manages performance at authoring as well as delivery time as the project size grows. Maintainability […]
SilentInstall Just a quick note about installing Captivate 4 in silent mode (or from command line) Captivate 4 uses a different installer technology than Captivate 3 and hence the way silent installation is done has changed from previous version. Please go through http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405451 to know how you can do silent installation for Captivate 4. I understand that this page does not mention Captivate explicitly, but it will work as the technology is same as CS. We are working on getting […]

Captivate 4,Variables One of the new features added in Adobe Captivate 4 was Variables and Scripting. In this blog post we will try to understand some simple usages of Variables.

This data portion generally varies but may be constant in some cases. Example of a constant […]
ASTD,TechKnowledge,Rapid eLearning,eLearning suite I’m just back after attending the first two days of ASTD TechKnowledge 2009. We had good traffic at the Adobe booth on both days. The new Adobe eLearning Suite trial DVDs disappeared like hot cakes. I thought there were a much higher percentage of people who were just starting to adopt eLearning, compared to eLearning veterans at TK 2009. This is very unlike the eLearning Guild conference, where most of the people I meet are folks who’ve […]
