NotificationLast week, I posted a blog article in which I discussed how performance support video solutions are flipping training on its head. In that article, I talked about how traditional training stresses participants learning something at a defined time – and then going into the work area and doing what it is they learned. I then shared how in my own experience of developing performance support tools, I realized that the DO occurs first and is followed by LEARN. After […]
For major video projects, or when I need to edit videos beyond just trimming I use Adobe Primer; however, when I needed to do just short Web cam videos or screen captures I would used other tools, mainly Techsmith’s Camtasia Studios. But the other day I downloaded Adobe Presenter Express and I was very impressed. Adobe Presenter Express is a top notch capture program, and it is fast! Creating tutorials using screen capture was easy and intuitive and the “Change Your […]
Hi Captivate Community Shambu asked me to blog about all my new Captivate experiences and features I used to know while my e learning creation. I think this is a good idea to help people which have the same beginner problems like me and also to learn for myself with your hints and comments. For understanding what I exactly did on my projects I will upload the CPTX files for you. My first blog entry will come at […]
by Kevin Siegel, COTP, CTT Fluid Boxes, introduced with Adobe Captivate 2017, make the process of creating a responsive eLearning project faster than ever. If you’ve spent any time playing them I think you’ll agree that they’re pretty, well for lack of a better word, fluid. However, if the amount of email I’ve received recently is any indication, I’m betting you’re struggling a bit with how to control the way content flows (wraps) in a Fluid Box when learners either resize their […]
A common e-learning interaction is a set of buttons that activate the display of a particular set of images and text. Often, the items are displayed as an overlay on top of the button set, and a semitransparent grey background is added to de-emphasize the selection buttons. When the learner is done with the displayed information, they click on either the background or a specific “close” button. This is commonly referred to as a “Lightbox.” Captivate has all of the […]
This video shows how to make animated image captions to display hidden objectives or additional contents to introduce e-learning modules. It shows a way to make rollover and rollout animations to show/hide captions. It is html5 compatible and for desktop projects. The objective from a basic illustration is to apply one or several animations to a Rollover state which will reveal a caption with its content then to apply a reversed animation to a Visited state (used as rollout) to hide […]

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 […]
