Captivate
Advanced Training Course
This Adobe certified class covers the more advanced functionality in Captivate.
The instructor will show you step-by-step, how to create highly interactive software simulations, responsive lessons (using Fluid Boxes and Breakpoints) that automatically reflow to fit just about any kind of display, Virtual Reality with 360-degree images and videos, interactive videos, how to use object styles, master slides, themes, and advanced actions.
You will learn to add variables, widgets, and learner interactions (including drag and drop), apply object styles globally, create branching scenarios that allow learners to plot their own path through your course, and templates. You will ensure your content is 508-compliant and therefore accessible to people with disabilities, and enable Captivate’s reporting features and learn about Learning Management Systems, SCORM, SCOs, Manifests, and content packages.
