NotificationIn this video tutorial, I show you my workflow for creating a single-slide click to reveal that contains both slide audio, as well as additional triggered audio for each state of a multi-state object. Your instinct might be to attach the audio to the individual states of the multi-state audio but you will quickly discover that this doesn’t work so well. Please note: that this type of interaction will not work with the built-in closed captioning for the additional audio […]
In this video tutorial, I show you how you can publish your Adobe Captivate 2017 (Release) eLearning to your learning management system using the most common features and settings.
Hello eLearning Community! I have been creating video tutorials for years, but I have been trying to step up my game a bit! Now I use: -a lavalier microphone -Adobe Presenter (since it records you AND the screen at the same time) – an intro animation created in Adobe After Effects -Adobe Premiere for editing, and final output. Everything so far is working, EXCEPT I would like to improve the video! Curious what webcams you might recommend? thanks in advance for […]
From times immemorial, stories have been used to pass knowledge and wisdom through the generations. Using stories for eLearning (or Storytorials) is an established creative Instructional Design approach that creates relatable and engaging learning experiences. In this blog, I share two story based learning examples on professional skills training. Background A story-based-tutorial or a storytorial blends the power of storytelling and principles of Instructional Design to create engaging learning experiences. What are the key benefits of using a storytorial or story […]
If you have seen some of my use cases or tutorials, you are aware of the fact that I am a big fan of Shared and Advanced actions. Advanced actions are part of Captivate since version 4 and made it possible to extend Captivate’s functionality in many ways. Their release was the reason I started blogging to show how easy it is to create engaging courses without the need of learning a programming language. You just use the point-and-click interface of those actions, which […]
About three years ago Adobe came out with a drag and drop interaction for Adobe Captivate 8. It’s often used as a question slide either in your knowledge checks or final quiz, however as most will tell you it doesn’t behave exactly like a regular question slide. In this video tutorial, I show you how I maintain some consistency between my drag and drop questions and my proper question slides.
When I participate in events like the 2018 Adobe eLearning Conference, we call them speaking engagements, and that’s certainly part of it. I like to think about this as really an instructor-led classroom session. My YouTube tutorials are often five to ten minutes of instruction, but what I do at the Adobe Live Events is a full hour of demonstration (I don’t use PowerPoint). What you will see from me is one hour of me demonstrating how to do a […]
In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I demonstrate how you can work with background images in your fluid box responsive design eLearning projects and ensure they line up the way you want them to.
In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I demonstrate how you can sync Typekit fonts that are required for custom Captivate themes, like the ones found on my website or purchased elsewhere. https://www.paulwilsonlearning.com/cpthemes/
In this video tutorial, I show you how you can use effects in Adobe Captivate to create the effect of a baseball card flip. For example, on one side of the card you have the image of the baseball player and on the back side, you have the player’s statistics. This could also be used to simulate what recipe cards might look like or used in credit card training that teaches employees to check for the signature of a client, […]
Why? Shared actions were a new feature in Captivate 7 and were improved in Captivate 8. Nevertheless I rarely see examples of shared actions, and there is also lot of misunderstanding. Some users think they can only be reused in other projects. I did see experts claiming that they are totally useless, that it is much easier to duplicate advanced actions. I don’t agree with that opinion, about 90% of all the project I have developed do include shared actions. […]
