Whether you’ve never used Adobe Captivate before or you’ve used it for years, there’s still lots to learn about how to get the most out of this tool. From features you haven’t fully explored to options for using media and interactivity most effectively, best practices for leveraging xAPI or SCORM, and tips for designing content to work on all devices, there’s a surprising amount of complexity to this tool that you may not have had the chance to dive deep on.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to create eLearning in a new way using Captivate’s greatest strengths, as well as look at other tools that can enhance the eLearning you create.
