Many of today’s eLearning courses have two things in common: they’re boring and they don’t engage the learner. Attend this session and you’ll learn how using Captivate to create advanced actions can both personalize a lesson and engage the learner like never before.
During this 3-hour course, you’ll learn about the system variables available in Adobe Captivate. You’ll learn how to leverage system variables to include in your eLearning course.
Additionally, you’ll learn about how basic and standard actions are fast, easy ways to make your eLearning courses more engaging and interactive. This will set you well on your way to learning programming with Captivate, allowing you to create your own learning interactions and interactive slides.
Note: This class is very interactive; exercise files will be provided for Captivate 9 or newer. If you are using previous versions of Captivate you can attend the class, but exercise files will not be provided. A trial version of Captivate is fine and can be downloaded from www.adobe.com.
