After spending two days in downtown LA learning the essentials of Adobe Captivate 4, I am ready, willing, and able to get this topic bloggin'. I hope that it's CAPTIVATING!!!!
The course I took was offered through "The Training Connection", a company located in Chicago, Illinois. Four faculty members from Mt. SAC attended the training together. We carpooled to 915 Wilshire, Suite 1800, in downtown Los Angeles. The training facility just recently opened on the 18th floor of the building. Our instructor, Nikki, was very pleasant. She has done a great deal of development in Adobe Captivate, as well as Adobe Connect and I'm sure that she is very knowledgeable about these and many other products. Our class started each day at 9am and ended at 4:30pm.
I don't travel to downtown LA very often and I was impressed with my coworker's knowledge of how to navigate carpool lanes and LA streets. I am very grateful that she offered to drive. All of the buildings in downtown LA have parking structures and it can be very tricky finding your way around, especially when you need to park a car. It is amazing how expensive it is to park a car in LA! Coming home Friday evening took quite a while because we left LA at 5pm!!!
The Adobe Captivate course by the Training Connection covered many of the features available in Adobe Captivate 4. According to The Training Connection's web site, the course was appropriate for beginner and intermediate Adobe Captivate users. Some of the things we covered included; creating simulations, creating assessments, and creating quizzes. All in all, Captivate appears to be a very fine product that offers a great amount of potential for the educational environment.
