NotificationI have a Captivate project where the first slide has audio to introduce the project. Then it proceeds to the next slide where students click on various buttons to learn more about a particular topic. There is also audio on the slides with each topic, but no audio on the slide they click on. For some reason, the audio does not play on the first slide. It proceeds to the next slide, then when the buttons are clicked it plays […]
My first Captivate Project! I don’t feel I have a lot to contribute – most of the blogs featured here are written by eLearning professionals or Adobe Evangelists whereas I am a total beginner. The following is my first experience using Captivate:- I didn’t have a clue where to start but I had a deadline – approximately 3 weeks and no prior knowledge (not even PowerPoint)!

In a non-responsive project with HTML output you can add rollover items. For a non-responsive project with Fluid Boxes that is impossible.

Some projects may require the use of a menu slide. This slide also may contain audio and buttons that allows the user to jump from the menu slide to another section and back. Issue: The user navigates back to the menu slide and the audio replays. If you do not want the audio replay on return, below is a tip that may resolve this issue. In Advanced Actions Variables Create a new User variable (Example: audioOneplay) with a Value of […]
So I’m not exactly NEW to Captivate; I used Captivate 6/7 for some projects in graduate school and on my first (part-time) job as an instructional designer after graduation, but haven’t really had an opportunity to work with it since then. I’m hoping to get back in the saddle and re-learn the latest version, however. I’m currently the Digital Learning Specialist in the Center for Teaching Excellence at a small college in Lawrenceville, GA, where I work as a faculty […]

We also learned how to convert Fluid Boxes to Static Fluid Boxes. Now let’s learn about the workflow to mark some of the objects or Fluid Boxes as optional. If you are planning […]
