Adobe Captivate

MAY 25, 2018

When I first got into designing and developing eLearning, it was around 2004, and the first authoring tool I used was Adobe Captivate 2.0. This authoring tool was Toolbook, and I believe it was version 9. I’ve not actively used Toolbook in many years. Of course, this wouldn’t be very fair to Toolbook.

Its nearly Halloween and with that comes the shocking and fearful excitement or lack thereof of the scariest things on the plane appearing at the movie theaters, in costumes, television and for us, the course authoring tool market. Just in the past two years the per license cost of authoring tools has skyrocketed. All prices are U.S.D.

You can find posts aggregated via eLearning Learning - 100 Conversations. Bill has quite a few questions in his post: eLearning is suffering from the Beta/VHS or Blu-ray/HD-DVD challenge. For example, it is elearning? eLearning? However, it all settled down to roughly Toolbook, Authorware and IconAuthor.

I often use the phrase “the HTML5 stack” to communicate more clearly, but to me, the main thing is that people have good resources to keep them up to date on the capabilities of the technology, the delivery platforms, and the authoring tools. So what’s an elearning designer—or developer—to do? Sit this one out? Change jobs?

I was able to create some really great eLearning with Windows but it was NOT fun. We could learn Hypercard or we could learn Toolbook. I had chosen the corporate track so I selected Toolbook. But luckily the other student that knew toolbook knew it REALLY well and I learned a lot. It was an eMac. Again, a huge let down.

I’ve met people who had worked on the original SCORM standard, those driving the new xAPI standard, as well as early champions of our industry who coined the terms and built the original software tools. Through the 70s it was being marketed as a tool for retraining unemployed workers in new fields.

You may be eLearning savvy, but how much do you know about mLearning? Companies are increasingly interested in creating mlearning material – elearning courses designed to work on mobile devices. This tool, designed for web designers and developers, uses HTML, JavaScript, and CSS, as well as works on both Mac OS and Windows.

Coupled with the myriad challenges of tiny displays, limited storage, media restrictions, cramped navigation, slow access and spotty security, mini mobile courseware attained second class status when compared to their elearning equivalents. Available third party tools can also streamline the mobile content creation process.

Two situations recently have got me thinking about e-learning authoring tools. Everybody's got an authoring tool. The next generation of authoring tools included a handful of really serious players, notably Authorware (now with Adobe) and Toolbook (now with SumTotal), both still going although not so strongly.

As the evolution of e-learning continues, the rapid content authoring tools (RCAT) market follows suit. While the assumption would be that all the products are alike, or that fee based tools are superior to their free counterparts, nothing could be farther than the truth. Once you did though, you could do quite a lot with the tool.

I will be dating myself here, but so much of the orthodoxy in the instructional design process was forged back in the late 80’s and early 90’s when the only Computer-Based Training (CBT) tools were Toolbook for the PC, and Hypercard for the Mac. Due to the technical constraints it became a law that “pages must not scroll”.

SCORM is as close as you get to Mandatory in the world of eLearning. in the eLearning world. There are also standards such as WebDAV that are going to be important for authoring tool implementations in the next few years. But, I'm going to try to make a practice of creating blog posts around some of the questions.
