Exploring Adobe Captivate...

I'm still Captivated! How about you...

There are so many resources on the Internet that offer free knowledge about the Adobe Captivate product. Today we're going to wiggle through some of the links found in Adobe's pages!

I think we'll start by visiting Adobe's Captivate page. They claim that you can "Go beyond screen capture to author rich eLearning experiences". Wow! That sounds pretty amazing. But I wonder, how can a screen capture program, go beyond screen capture????? Let's keep looking... The main Adobe Captivate page claims that we can create content with advanced interactivity! Cool, what's that mean? I'm thinking that the most advanced interactivity would be you and I sitting together having a conversation face-to-face. That's pretty advanced! Somehow I don't think that's what they have in mind. It says that we can have scenario simulations, quizzes, and other engaging experiences! That sounds interesting. I guess quizzes can be pretty engaging!! Oooooooh... it says that no programming or multimedia skills are required! Sounds like a great start!

The Adobe Captivate page has a link to RJ Jacquez's blog about eLearning. Cool! I'll link my blog to his blog. We'll be blog buddies. He has all sorts of interesting information about eLearning. What a job! He gets to blog for a living!

I also see a link to Adobe's eLearning solutions. They are showing three products: Adobe Captivate 4, Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro, and of course, the Adobe eLearning Suite. The Suite includes:
Adobe Captivate® 4, Adobe Flash® CS4 Professional with Learning Interactions
Adobe Dreamweaver® CS4 with CourseBuilder Extension
Adobe Photoshop® CS4 Extended
Adobe Acrobat® 9 Pro
Adobe Presenter 7
Adobe Soundbooth® CS4
Also included: Adobe Bridge CS4, Adobe Device Central CS4, and a SCORM Packager

Back at home on the Adobe Captivate page...let's continue exploring...
We can create screen recording and demos. There's a link to some samples.

Here's a links to Tips and Tricks! Silke Fleischer's tips and tricks aren't very current. The last entry was August 22, 2008. Hmmmmm..... maybe we can find something more current.

Nice! Here's a link for Captivate Help and Support. This could deliver a lot of promising information!Try this one out. It's another great link. This one is a lesson that teaches the features of Adobe Captivate 4. It actually walks you through how to use some features. The best part...it's free!
