Adobe Captivate 2017 comes with an exciting new workflow to aid in the creation of responsive eLearning courses: Fluid Boxes. Instead of designing multiple slides for different screen sizes (known as breakpoints), you work on a single slide. Fluid Boxes, containers that you insert on the stage and then populate with content, improve the responsive development time significantly. Let’s take a look at the steps to record a responsive simulation with Captivate 2017: To begin, start Captivate 2017 and double-click […]
Hello everyone, I would like to discuss some issues with HTML output. I have a short demo project (Here is the link . The demo is about common resume mistakes). Since the project is text-heavy, I did not adapt it for smaller screens. What I am struggling is that the output looks different depending on the browser. Typical issues: In certain browsers, the highlight box randomly changes its location. ( From my experience, the highlight box feature is buggy. Its […]

I have something exciting for the Captivate course authors to try and trust me when you tell your learners they need not switch on their laptops or PC’s to access their course, they will surely be overwhelmed. Yes, following some generic guidelines you can re-design and upgrade your old Captivate blank projects to a responsive one and this time without breakpoints (Captivate 8 and 9 users will be familiar with this term) and if you are a new Captivate […]
My favorite method for learning new or enhanced software product is through project development. I find it difficult to master new enhancements working with each in isolation, so I have a tendency to add as many of a software tools enhancements to a single personal learning project as possible. This way I can study the effects the new feathers have on each other and older features. For the new Captivate 2017 release I took a very text intensive tutorial created […]
If you need to use the same preferences for every project, or maybe different prefferences for different types of projects, you’re in luck with the time saving tip. You are able to export and import preferences within Captivate. Step 1 – Saving Preferences To create the desired preferences, find the ‘Edit’ menu on the top left of your screen and select ‘Preferences’ at the bottom of the menu. Here you are able to set the specific preferences of your choice […]
As elearning creators we understand the benefits of creating elearning for the learners of an organisation, business or even the public and I’ve noticed it can be easy for us to stop learning ourselves. Lately at work I’ve been going out of my comfort zone as a developer, by exploring more of what Captivate can really do. We still use version 8 at work right now and even after 2 years of using it every day, I’ve realised I have so […]
I have created a microlearning project to test new responsive features of Captivate 2017. (Here is the link.) In this article, I will review several issues that I faced while creating this demo. The introduction of fluid boxes is a step forward compared to previous breakpoint mode. Designing for mobile devices is less time-consuming now. I only wish that Captivate had a separate tab for fluid boxes. It takes a lot of random clicking and moving a mouse before you […]
