I wanted to let all my followers at CaptivateTeacher.com know that I’m speaking at DevLearn this year! I’ve called my session Developing Customized Advanced Interactions in Captivate. It will be on October 23rd at 10 AM, and its session number 911 (I hope that's a good number). It's going to be a BYOD session, but I plan to provide participants with project files that are almost ready to go.
How does this relate to all of you?
The audience for this session is all of us, eLearning designers, developers who use Adobe Captivate. Between now and then, I will be sharing more details about what I will be putting together with you. I'm curious as to how many of you are planning on attending DevLearn this year. Please let me know in the comments of this post. Depending on how many of you there are, perhaps we can organize some type of meetup or event. I'd love to meet as many of you as possible. After all, you are all my supporters, and I appreciate each one of you for showing your support. Here is my session description:
Developing Customized, Advanced Interactions in Captivate
We've all been there. You present your eLearning course to your stakeholder only to learn that they don't want the built-in interaction that comes with Adobe Captivate. Oh boy, this is going to increase your development time. Instead, imagine reaching into your advanced action tool belt and pulling out a ready-to-go interaction that you can make a few small changes to satisfy their needs. In this BYOD session, you'll learn how to build several custom interactions in Captivate that will show off your newly found advanced actions, conditional actions, and shared action skills. Not only will you have the skills to build advanced interactions, but you'll also learn how you can replicate these interactions quickly and easily and then customize them further for different uses.
In this session, you will learn:
How to build a custom click-to-reveal that tracks what your learners have selected and shows completion of the activity
How to build a multiple-choice, single answer question using variables and advanced actions that doesn't rely on Adobe Captivate's question slides
How to build a multiple correct answer question using variables and advanced actions, again, that doesn't use the standard question slides.
How to save these advanced actions as shared actions, making them quick and easy to replicate whenever you need a similar interaction
