P02 BYOD: Getting Started With Adobe Captivate
8:30 AM - 4:30 PM Monday, October 21
Antigua A
Adobe Captivate is an amazing program for creating eLearning, but it can be a bit overwhelming for new users. Once you get used to it, though, this industry standard is a powerful development tool. So why not take some time to learn how to use it to build beautiful, interactive, and engaging training?
In this workshop, you’ll get hands on experience with the basics of Adobe Captivate by building an entire single slide course and user interface from scratch. You’ll learn how shapes, buttons, text, and images come together to build course structure; how layering, grouping, and naming conventions are critical for organization; how to use system and user variables; and how to create simple, advanced, and conditional actions to create more engaging and interactive eLearning. These are the core components of Adobe Captivate and once you understand them, the rest will fall into place.
