NotificationAfter you create a Captivate eLearning project, the project needs to be published into a format that can be opened by your learner. Currently, the most common methods to publish a Captivate project is as a Flash SWF and HTML.

After creating and editing an Adobe Captivate project, you can publish the project for review on an internal server using the File > Send for Shared Review workflow.

I’m very interested in learning more about your pre-production process. I’d like to better understand how you handle the process of training creation starting with the justification and cost estimates all the way through the initial design and any collaboration you do with your team. Are you using Captivate Draft, Adobe Capture, Adobe Color or any other preproduction tools? How do you estimate the cost of projects, time investment and the labor required – including SME’s, developers etc.? I’m hoping […]
In this video I’m going to show you how you can use a more traditional show / hide advanced actions as an alternative to using multi state objects in your Adobe Captivate projects. This is ideal for folks still using Adobe Captivate 8 or earlier.
I have been working for a while now with the Adobe Captivate engineering team and several customers on a project that should be nicknamed, Project Light Speed. This is a project that normally wouldn’t garner much focus, because the focus of the project was to optimize performance of the Captivate Projects playback on mobile devices, on desktops, and even within the authoring tool. I know – that doesn’t sound all that glamorous at first pass, but I want you to think about […]
eLearning designers and consumers are constantly looking for ways to “spice up” their courses through the use of graphics, interactions, characters and even games. Adobe Captivate has always given you many ways to incorporate these assets into your course, but with the newest release (Captivate 9.0.2) they made it even easier.
