Adobe Captivate Classic: The Essentials & Beyond (PDF)

Description

Adobe Captivate Classic: The Essentials & Beyond is a self-paced workbook that teaches the core Adobe Captivate Classic skills needed to create eLearning courses.

This book specifically covers Captivate Classic version 11.8.3 or newer. However, if you are still using Adobe Captivate 2019 (version 11.8.1), this book will work for you as well!

Follow step-by-step instructions and learn how to create a soft-skills lesson from scratch.

Learn to record and produce software demonstrations, interactive training simulations, and video demos.

Add and modify text captions, work with object styles, add images, characters, videos, Adobe assets, smart shapes, and more.

Record, import, and edit audio. And learn to convert text-to-speech.

Enhance the learner experience by adding interactivity via click boxes, buttons, text entry boxes, and quizzes.

Have you already created content using Microsoft PowerPoint? Don’t throw that presentation away. Learn how to import existing PowerPoint content into Captivate Classic.

Create responsive eLearning using Fluid Boxes and Breakpoints. Your published eLearning content automatically reflows to fit just about any size display including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Create Virtual Reality eLearning with 360-degree images. Create interactive videos that include knowledge checks and other interactive objects.

Fine-tune your Captivate production skills by leveraging object styles, master slides, themes, and templates.

Engage your learners by adding variables, interactions, drag and drops, and advanced actions to your eLearning.

Create branching scenarios that allow learners to plot their own path through your course. Knock a long Filmstrip down to size by learning to create branch groups.

Ensure your eLearning can be used by humans with disabilities by adding such Section 508-compliant features as accessibility text, keyboard shortcuts, and closed captions.
