New Premium Course - Build Your Own Memory Game with Adobe Captivate 2019
In this course, you will learn how to use Adobe Captivate 2019 or newer and develop a learning interaction that can either stand-alone or be part of a larger eLearning course. This learning interaction will allow your learners to play the classic memory game to reveal information that they need to learn as part of a more extensive course. This course will teach you how to layout your slide for multiple fluid boxes for responsive design, create the necessary variables, and write the advanced actions to make it all work.

Drag and Drop with Unique Feedback in Your Adobe Captivate eLearning
If you've built a few drag and drops with immediate captions you know that by default you don't get unique or specific feedback when items have been dragged to a drop target. In this video tutorial, I'll show you a method to provide unique or specific feedback for each drag and drop for both correct and incorrect captions.

The Good Old Show / Hide Technique
In this video I revisit an old technique that has been mostly supplanted by Adobe Captivate 9 and it's ability to give users direct access to multi state objects. In this video I show users how to take advantage of the good old show / hide technique...
You know when you work directly with Adobe and are immersed in Adobe's software, you sometimes forget that not everyone has access to the latest version. I recently recorded a video on performing certain functions with multi state objects. I guess I just took it for granted that after a year in the marketplace, Adobe Captivate 9 would just be everywhere. I forget there are still many customers still working with the Captivate 8.
In this video I revisit an old technique that has been mostly supplanted by Adobe Captivate 9 and it's ability to give users direct access to multi state objects. In this video I show users how to take advantage of the good old show / hide technique to change the appearance of an object by substituting that object for another very similar object. I think we should keep these techniques in our back pocket as designers because they may still have some use under certain circumstances.
I'm Starting to See Adobe Captivate 9 Differently
As I start my second week of working with Adobe Captivate 9, I'm beginning to see the software differently than when I first began testing it. Originally I was convinced that the new effects panel was going to be the clear winning feature for me. If you have had the misfortune of having to work in the effects panel in Captivate 8 or earlier, you would know what I'm talking about. You could only preview and work on one effect at a time, you could not add effects to grouped objects, the panel itself didn't play nice with the timeline and certainly couldn't be docked with the properties panel. Well the new effects panel is great, but my feelings for the new Captivate are actually affected by an entirely new and different feature.
I'm talking about multi state objects. For me this is becoming the real game changer. I have begun a series of experiments where I take either one of my old tutorials or one of my old projects and reimagine them by incorporating multi state objects. so far I have used them in a couple of ongoing projects I'm working on, plus I rerecorded several of my YouTube videos using this great new feature. Here are the videos for you to enjoy.
Of course, I want to be clear that the effects panel is great, the new knowledge check question slides are also great, I can't wait to get my hands on some SVG images as well. Wow, just the fact that I now have smooth round tripping with Audition is such a time saver, but I think multi state objects are the big win for Captivate 9 (at least for me they are).
