CaptivateTeacher Support for Adobe Captivate 11.5.5 Ending on May 31st, 2022

As many of you already know, Adobe has decided to only offer the latest version of Adobe Captivate 2019 to those of us who are on a monthly subscription. At the time of writing this article, that version is 11.8. So if you purchased Adobe Captivate 2019 for a single purchase price before they made this announcement, the most up-to-date version you can get is 11.5.5.

I get my copy of Adobe Captivate for free. The reason for this is when I post a video to https://elearning.adobe.com I earn 100 points. Since I average about four videos per month, I get enough points in a 90 day period to earn a complimentary copy of the software.

Because of the change in how Adobe makes Captivate available to users, I will have to migrate to version 11.8. Unfortunately, users of Adobe Captivate version 11.5.5 cannot load version 11.8 files. I will continue to share project files with my clients, but please understand that I will no longer be able to make them compatible with version 11.5.5.

To allow some time before I make this change, I will not be upgrading to version 11.8 until May 31st, 2022.

Thank you for your understanding.

Upload your Adobe Captivate eLearning to Your Website Instead of an LMS

In this video, I will show you my process for uploading a published Adobe Captivate eLearning project to my website to share as part of a portfolio or to showcase what I'm capable of doing for a conference, and so on. This video covers how to publish your project and what you need to do to get on a website that only allows links or single file uploads such as Squarespace or Wix. In this example, I'm speaking at Learning Solutions 2022 and I wanted to share the project I will be teaching with potential attendees. Here is where you can preview this project: https://captivateteacher.com/articles/learning-solutions-2022

More Than One Quiz in Your Adobe Captivate eLearning Course

In this video, I show you how you can have more than one quiz in your Adobe Captivate eLearning course. One of the most common questions I get is how to have more than one quiz in an eLearning course. Many people assume that the limitation of one quiz per eLearning course is a limitation of their authoring tool, but in fact, this is a limitation of the eLearning reporting formats available. The solution is to assign the burden of having multiple quizzes on your LMS. I'm using Adobe Captivate Prime in this example but the concept is the same for hundreds of LMS out there.
