Captivate Tutorials

Adobe Captivate is one of the most widely used applications for eLearning. It is a tool for the development of simulations and Computer-Based Training (CBT). Using Captivate, you can capture what's on the screen as you perform software-based task. You can then save those screen shots and add explanatory and instructional captions, special effects, and interactivity features to make users think they're using the software, and play the result back as a movie.

Using Captivate you can add software demonstrations, interactive simulations, branching scenarios, and quizzes to your elearning application without learning to program.

Captivate lets you add narration, music, step-by-step instructions and sound to your projects. Using audio you can reinforce critical instruction, or add emphasis to objects and images. Adding sound effects to Captivate projects imparts a touch of realism to your project.
