CaptivateAdobe

A 2-day course covering the core Adobe Captivate (version 11.8.1 or newer) skills needed to create eLearning courses.

Following step-by-step instructions, students will learn how to create a soft-skills lesson from scratch. They will then learn how to record and produce software demonstrations, interactive training simulations, and video demos. By the time they finish working through this fast-paced book, students will know how to add and modify text captions, images, characters, videos, assets, smart shapes, and more.

They will record, import, and edit voiceover audio. They will also further enhance the learner experience by adding interactivity via click boxes, buttons, text entry boxes, and quizzes.

And there's no need to throw old PowerPoint presentations away! Students will learn how to import existing PowerPoint content into Captivate.

Last but not least, students will publish a Captivate project as HTML5 so your output can be opened with a web browser by learners on any device, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

  • Captivate projects, images, audio files, and other assets to get started.
  • Dozens of step-by-step, hands-on activities.
  • Confidence Checks to challenge your new skills.
