Live Experiment with Google Fonts in Adobe Captivate

Here is my first attempt to build a project where I attempt to get the Material Design icons for Android devices working inside my Adobe Captivate project.

Submit All Improvements in Adobe Captivate

Sometimes Adobe will improve features in new versions of Adobe Captivate without listing them as a feature improvement. To my surprise, this was the case in Captivate 2017 with the submit all feature.

We don’t usually have access to the learning management system, and having our own LMS can be expensive for a small business owner like ourselves. That’s where getting your own web server comes in.
