I have been a fan of Adobe and Captivate for many years maintaining active subscriptions for years.  However, the amount of time I had with my previous employer to acquire new skills was minimal because we are always in survival mode due to growth and limited resources.  I have moved to a new position with a new organization that has enabled me to finally dive more in-depth into the tools and the community.  I have rapidly consumed information through the eLearning Community and jumped from Newbie to Explorer literally overnight.  Having the Levels and associated incentives to help motivate me has been fun!  As I read blogs, watch videos, and practice with various projects, I realize more and more how vast this community is, how supportive the experts are, and how powerful the tools really are in terms of producing high quality content quickly.  I have managed to complete my first interactive drag and drop learning activity and get it successfully imported into our course LMS all using the resources available throughout the community.  I am grateful for people like Pooja Jaisingh , Paul Wilson, and so many others for freely sharing their knowledge and am excited about being able to attend DevLearn next week to immerse myself in all things eLearning for an entire week. Now it’s on to Guide level I go!
