Recently I was asked to estimate how long it would take to re-build five e-Learning courses created with another software program in Captivate. These text-only (no audio) courses were built more than five years ago with a lesser known authoring tool, and the finished products were generated in Flash. That is the task.

What tool was used to build the course? If it was Adobe Captivate or one of the other big-name authoring tools, you may be in luck. Those tools have the option to publish in both Flash and HTML5 formats. Let’s say that one of the browsers issues a new release in 2018. Course format (.swf,htm).

What is replacing Flash?

The legacy, software-based standard that Flash Player used drained battery significantly faster. Adobe had sole authority over Flash, and only they could control future enhancement and pricing. Users have been required to enable Flash every single time they re-access a site since version 69 (September 2018). 264 video decoding.
