NotificationTimelines have color codes and quite a lot of useful shortcut keys. This article gives an overview of both.
On a recent live stream, I was asked about which tools I use to create my eLearning and video tutorials. I gave a partial answer during the live stream but I thought I would go a little more in-depth on that question here. Adobe Captivate I think it’s obvious that I use Adobe Captivate and almost always have the latest version. I do also keep the previous version installed on my main system. Up to and including presently I have […]

I’ve been using Adobe Captivate for over a decade now, and have always faced one big challenge. If I had to get an answer to a question, find the steps to troubleshoot an issue, learn a new Captivate skill, or learn about some time-saving tips and tricks, I had to literally explore the web to find the resources. Chances were that I would find them at one or more of these places: Adobe Captivate blog, blog pages hosted by the Captivate […]
This might very well be the most important video tutorial you watch on Adobe Captivate this year. In this video, I’ll show you the object styles manager and how I work with object styles in Adobe Captivate. Knowledge of working with object styles is how I can develop eLearning as rapidly as I do. My clients are constantly amazed at how quickly I go from storyboard to prototype. It’s much easier to turn your projects around if you understand how object […]

But this story / tutorial is actually not as much about Adobe’s eLearning tools as it is about an often underappreciated little champion tool from Microsoft – one that most everyone uses, but few of us really appreciate for it’s extraordinary powers. I’m talking about Microsoft Excel – and how you […]
I saw an interesting question this morning in the community, but of course I cannot find it now to tell you who began the thought. 😉 Nonetheless – the question was fairly universal and the use case sounded interesting so I thought I’d give it a stab. The core of the question was – how can I create looping animation in Captivate on a single slide to simulate one of those repeating roadway animations – like the old 8 bit […]
Probably my favourite feature addition for Adobe Captivate in recent years is multi state objects. When it was first released with the launch of Adobe Captivate 9, I was initially lukewarm to multi-state objects. Prior to version 9, I had three states in my image buttons for up, down, and over; and that was just fine with me. What I didn’t realize was how many different situations I could use multi state objects for. I decided to share some of […]
