I have been a fan of Articulate for a long time even as I worked for Adobe on the Captivate and eLearning Suite products. Articulate in my experience builds software that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also intuitive and easy to use. However if there’s a company that can do it, that is certainly Articulate.

Imagine if Adobe would have decided to port the behemoth Photoshop software to the iPad instead of developing Photoshop Touch? Or imagine if Avid Studios would have done the same with their desktop software instead of developing a unique Tablet experience as they did with Avid Studio, their iPad app?

I no longer look at desktop computing experiences in the way I did before, my expectations for desktop software have completely changed, perhaps this is why I’m so critical in my reviews of software applications, maybe it is because as mobile users we are beginning to expect so much more from vendors of software apps we use every day.

A year ago I wrote a post entitled An Honest Assessment of Adobe Captivate 6 [First Impressions] , which garnered 81 ReTweets and 62 comments, and to this day is the most read post here on my blog. It’s not even this particular version that disappoints me; it’s the overall lack of vision that Adobe has clearly shown in this release.

When comparing the two big players in the rapid eLearning market, Articulate and Adobe, they approach mobile learning design very differently. And this is why in my humble opinion, the future of mobile learning design looks brighter for Adobe, and I see Captivate 8 as a great first step toward this vision. eLearning. —

Take a traditional software ‘try-it simulation’ in Captivate 6 that is scored, convert it to HTML5 and then use your finger to try and find the right tap-target and you will see what I mean. With all due respect to both of these companies, I think they need to do much better in an upcoming version of their software.

When I worked for Adobe, customers used to ask me what resolution they should choose when creating eLearning and my answer was always the same, 1024 x 768 pixels. Finally, there’s the comfort zone of using rapid eLearning software that rely heavily on PowerPoint slides, in order to publish Flash-based learning?

When I worked for Adobe as an Evangelist for Captivate, one of my Social Media strategies was to never miss a mention from someone who was talking about my product. I’ve seen this happen personally while at Adobe with Captivate and I quickly learned the advantages of always following back. Nothing, zero, nada.
