Course Description

 

This class has been created as a companion to Adobe Captivate 4: The Essentials class. The goal of the "Essentials" class is to get you up and running using Adobe Captivate 4 as quickly as possible. After completing that class, you will have an excellent grasp of how to both record and produce eLearning lessons using Adobe Captivate 4. However, there is a ton of information that just didn't fit into that class.

"Adobe Captivate 4: Beyond the Essentials" picks up where the "Essentials" book left off. You will quickly learn Captivate's higher-end functionality while improving your production skills via project templates, design templates, advanced actions and scripts. You will learn to collaborate with team members via Captivates' powerful commenting features. You'll enhance your users experience via variables that will make it seem like each eLearning lesson you produce has been customized for and is talking directly to your customer.
