NotificationI’ve just begun using Captivate and Articulate. I am a Master’s Candidate in Instructional Technology and Design. Thus far, I am enjoying using Captivate more than Articulate. Perfect timing at work…two projects came up that needed an Instructional Designer. Perfect! Thus my first foray into integrating Captivate with Canvas. I’ll keep you posted on the comparison of products.

Here is an example for using States and Advanced Actions to “animate” an object. The setup was quite simple: 1. Import a sequence of bitmaps 2. Create custom states and add the images 3. Create some navigational elements 4. Create Advanced Actions that change the state of the image object, based on a counter variable This great new feature opens up lots of possibilities for interactive elements. Well done Captivate! I will keep experimenting with multi-state objects and use them […]
Smart shapes come in handy when working in Captivate. When working in Captivate, I try to use smart shapes as much as possible for elements such as buttons or simple graphics. I like the fact size, shape and color can all be easily changed all from within Captivate and not a graphics program. Smart shapes allow you to test concepts and prototype quickly. I often use smart shape rectangles to put together projects knowing I can easily right click and […]

I originally recorded an #eLearning #Livestream on this same topic but it felt sloppy so I didn’t publish it. Today I decided to record this live stream as a regular video tutorial. In this video tutorial, we review some best practices when converting non-responsive projects into a responsive project. In this video I decide to go with fluid boxes, however, you can also use breakpoints if you prefer that style of design. I’d love to hear what others are experiencing […]
Quite probably, anyone who has spent any time at all researching online platforms for publishing their Cp content will have had the same two thoughts as me: There really seems to be no end to the number of elearning system providers. They all claim that they are the ultimate solution. It is easy to get a little despondent when conducting research as to which Platform/LMS/LRS you want to use. Hours disappear as you wade through a seemingly never-ending ocean of […]
For anyone intending to use Cp with Learndash, here is a quick (and free) method for getting your projects on your site. Useful for previewing if nothing else, no xAPI/SCORM integration but there seem to be precious few ways of publishing Cp projects without the use of paid plugins. Code needed: [cap_iframe_loader type=’iframe’ width=’100%’ height=’600′ frameborder=’0′ src=’http://yoursite.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/adobe_captivate_uploads/project_name/index.html’] Edit to match your details (yoursite.wpengine.com and everything after uploads/) Gareth
For those people knee-deep in Captivate content creation , it can be worth taking a moment before you’ve invested heavily in terms of both time and money to think a little bit about your total workflow all the way to your course material appearing on your user’s device. There are some potential pitfalls which may not occur to you at the beginning, but which may have a big impact on your overall aims. I’d like to specifically cover the various components […]

In this Adobe Captivate QuickTip, I will answer the question what happened to Captivate’s ability to publish your CPTX projects as either video or as a stand-alone executable for Mac or PC. This tutorial is for non-responsive projects only as these two publishing methods are not compatible with responsive projects.
