In September, I’ll be teaching two Captivate classes at ThinkB!G: "Essentials of Adobe Captivate 3" (a 2-day course on Captivate 3) and then "Adobe Captivate Plus" (a 1-day script writing class).
Essentials of Adobe Captivate 3 (2-day class)
September 17-18, 2007
First, learn the essential skills necessary to create killer CBTs in Adobe Captivate 3 including: recording projects in all of Captivate’s recording modes, working with Text Captions and the Timeline, working with images, adding animation, changing the pointer path, adding highlight boxes, making projects interactive, publishing, adding audio, adding sound effects, creating Question Slides and posting projects to a live LMS.

Adobe Captivate PLUS! (1-day class)
September 19, 2007
Creating effective CBTs takes more than Captivate skills–you need an effective script. I’ll work with you to create an efficient, step-by-step script/storyboard for your very own CBT.
As you move through the writing process, you’ll share your script with your peers. Once your script is finished, you will use Adobe Captivate to record a totally interactive software simulation. Finally, after producing and testing your project, you will enable its e-Learning features, publish it and then upload it to a live LMS for the entire world to see.
Here’s a sampling of what you will learn:
- How to write concise scripts and step-by-step instructions that are presented in the active voice, without "deadwood"
- How to develop your very own style guide that will serve as your Captivate "bible" for years to come
- Real-world production tips and tricks that will save you hours of labor during the "cleanup" phase
Register now and you’ll receive $50 off the price of the class (use coupon code IL50 to receive your discount).
