In fact, using PowerPoint is just one of many options for how to create a Captivate project.Īrguably Captivate's greatest strength is the ability to create software demonstrations and simulations by simply recording screen actions as you do them. It can import PowerPoint slides as the background and basic content of a project, but from that point on, the file is a Captivate project file. Your choices are somewhat limited, but getting a functioning scenario lesson up and running is fast and easy.Īdobe Captivate is powerful, stand-alone eLearning development software.

Your energy goes into your content.įor example, if you want to create a scenario, where the learner chooses options and receives feedback by traveling down various "branches" after decision points, you can click a few buttons, choose between pre-designed options, type your content on designated slides, and let Presenter take care of which button takes the learner to which slide. With this software, the feeling is that you are designing your content, and the software handles the work of deciding things like how the learner advances to the next slide. This software allows you to focus more on the content than on eLearning functionality. In Adobe Presenter, this is a good thing.

But, as is typical with any kind of software, the easier the software is to use, the fewer choices you have about certain things. Presenter is designed so that eLearning features are easy to add. Presenter lessons can be used to "flip" the classroom-the homework is to watch the lecture, and then practice assignments, worked problems, and the like are done in the classroom with the teacher's help. You can use it to take existing PowerPoint slides, add voiceover narration, optionally record a self-video while presenting the lesson, add eLearning scenes and characters, add interactive elements, add a quiz, and publish the lesson to an LMS. It is the easiest path from PowerPoint to eLearning. You clearly have a lot of experience with Captivate, you've spent years working with it and maybe you are no longer able to assume a perspective of a newcomer?Īnd finally, as English is not my mother-tongue, can you please explain your last sentence? As I have a hint of a feeling it is not a pleasant thing to say either.Adobe Presenter is a PowerPoint add-in, and is marketed by Adobe specifically to educators. So, while I do apologize for my straight-to-the-point approach (I guess the expression "crap about browser resolution" is what triggered the whole off-topic discussion), I also suggest you look at yourself from a little bit of a distance. And now, after reading what you wrote here I must say that kevin's feelings of both you and Lily of being condescending towards others are not completely unfounded. If - as you claim - your standards are different ("above" mine, as Lily stated), why don't you enlighten me, the "uncivilised" (again, quote from Lily) one?Īnd also, please bear in my mind that I came to this topic after reading this one: Captivate 8 Poor Image Quality when previewed or published. Still - your reluctance to pointing out where I'd made a mistake is quite surprising. I also did not undermine nor try to disprove Lilybiri's contribution to this forum. It was not my intention to insult anyone and I do apologize if I did.
