NotificationIn this first part of a two part video tutorial, I cover the procedures for recording your software simulation. Make sure you watch the second part to see how I edit my recordings. Prior to starting your recording, it’s important to take certain preparation steps to make sure you are truly ready to record. Script out your steps – Practise your steps so you know exactly what you’re going to record. Run Captivate as an administrator – I generally run […]
Intro Happy New Year 2017 to all Captivate users! Quite a while ago I wrote an article about Timeline secrets in Captivate 5: Tiny Timeline Tidbits Since the change in the UI with Captivate 8 , the newbie User Interface minimizes the Timeline panel by default which is really a pity (personal opinion). Some of the questions I read, at least partially due to that decision to hide the Timeline: ‘I want to get rid of the timeline, don’t need it […]
Somehow I made it through more than 3 years and 150 LMSs without seeing or reviewing the Adobe Captivate Prime LMS. Recently, several clients asked me about it by name, so I headed to the Adobe website for a first-hand look. I am already a limited member of the Adobe community — I rely on the Adobe Sign service to digitally sign PDFs and use Adobe Stock for my photos and graphics. Since I was already logged-in as an Adobe user, I […]
In the 2017 release of Adobe Captivate, Fluid Boxes, Auto-migrate from non-mobile to mobile, and Adobe Typekit integration are the features which are being used extensively by the community.

It can also be referred to as a tutorial for this release. You can download the […]
As an instructional designer and content developer I make a habit of trying to stay up to date on the tools available for eLearning development. I regularly will download trail versions of software when new versions come out and will spend time evaluating them. Usually I will spend a few hours over a few days going through the software, following YouTube tutorials learning the basics (enough to keep the title on my resume). Last month, I applied for an instructional […]
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 […]
User experience has taken a front seat in design thinking and creation. As learners detach themselves from traditional learning methods, our attention turns to the use of mobile devices for consumption by learners. Fluid boxes in Adobe Captivate 2017 give you the ability to place content in these intelligent containers and have Adobe Captivate resize and adapt the objects for any device size, the device specific preview menu (another new addition to this release) gives you complete control over […]
While I was searching for an e learning devolopment tool it was no long time that it was clear. I will use Adobe Captivate. Many articles where is written that it is difficult to use for no-adobe-users did not confirm. I downloaded at midnight, installed it and began. I failed. But no Problem. I googled for the Basics and I found a mass of Information about it. The best tutorials and hints for beginners on YouTube on the channel of […]
When I first started using adobe captivate it was purchased for me. I worked as an eLearning designer, developer and of course we used whatever software the company provided. Of course, then the decision isn’t yours to make and you have to use whatever software they give you. But I’ve found myself in different circumstances over the years and perhaps my experience can help you when it comes to making the decision for yourself. Student Teacher Pricing In between jobs, […]
I reached a milestone today and I wanted to give thanks and credit where it was due. Today my YouTube channel, which is dedicated to Adobe eLearning products and services, surpassed 5,000 subscribers. I’d like to take the time to thank not only the Adobe eLearning team members but to all my subscribers. I know full well that most of them have probably come from the eLearning Community at one point or another. Thank you all. I’d like to make […]
