Meet the Instructors
Larry
Larry has been a certified Captivate instructor since before there was a product known as Captivate. He taught the predecessor to Captivate, a product called
RoboDemo. In addition to being certified as an Adobe instructor (ACI), Larry has earned the "Adobe Community Expert" designation for his volunteer help to others in Adobe's on-line Captivate user community.
As a professional instructor, developer, and consultant, Larry loves teaching others how to best utilize the power of that Adobe product, and offers his talent
professionally as an eLearning consultant. His corporate clients appreciate the training that Larry provides to maximize their investment in software purchases by short-cutting the traditionally steep learning curve for audio-visual interactive learning products. Larry's training helps his clients learn to build their own interactive tutorials, product demos, and soft skills training in hours, instead of the weeks that many spend learning by trial and error efforts at self-instruction.
