The ability to customize the content for learners is the best tool in the hands of eLearning authors. Learning is better when you can customize the learning experience based on learner choices, responses, specialization, and scores achieved in a quiz. It would be even better if they have the ability to serve content to learners based on their location.
In this session, you will explore multiple ways of creating a location-aware course. You will learn how to utilize the GPS capabilities of mobile devices to deliver timely, location-aware content to learners using Adobe Captivate 8.
