I am putting together a brief peomo/explanatory note for my boss about  Captivate  and I would really appreciate your opinion about top 3 interactive features.

Alternetevly , if you could screenrecord  a  cool activity you came accross  and share it with me it would be great! I am  loving Captivate, well I have been using the  interactive Adobe Forms for last 10 years….I have no idea why they split timeline and storyboard, these are two common video editing  visualisation methods.

WARNING

I accidentally downloaded Captivate Prime app today and it is clear it was developed for a sizeable financial firm like Wells Fargo. The SaleForce is the system I usedd to attrribute the sale credit to the Sales I do not know if it used in any other industry. To cut to the chase Captivate Prime is nothing to do with Captivate as we know it )

Thank you!

I think one of the most powerful interactive features surrounds setting up navigation options for learners.

As Lieve mentions above, all interaction is based on giving control to the participant, which involves navigation. Captivate has a variety of ways to give navigational control, including a standard navigation bar and table of contents the learner can access through an icon.

In addition, the navigation bar and table of contents can be hidden and you can create your own navigation objects, as needed. Further, control can be customize through the use of advanced actions and the setting of properties within a slide.

Taken together, the standard and advanced navigation features allow you to move away from passive video viewing to an interactive experience where the learner can control the pace and direction of learning.

You are brilliant between us we have already decided to select no more than 5 different engaging activitiees in each lesson and repeat the same types in the following lessons and, therefore, we want to get the best 5 for our learners. This also helps to keep the both cost and time down and allowed us to concentrate on the course material and task differentiation. The individual lessons are independent from each other and once we test and tune the functionality of the first lesson, the following lessons would require significantly less time for user testing/quality assurance. Many people get turned when they hear that learning brother develop a new activity every week! I note in passing that when you google you find a lot posys/questions about bugs and work arounds, i always check the date, if it was reported more than 2 years ago the chances are they knew about it for last 10 years and finally fix i in 2017t!!!
Thanks again for the excellent examples!!

All interactivity in Captivate is based on the fact that you can pause the timeline, and offer control to the learner. If you have a look at my interactive movie based on the presentation at LV last year about Advanced TImeline Workflows, you’ll see links to several examples, including one game:

I like to use the Drag&Drop interaction a lot for many situations. Look at this blog post, it has a link to an example published movie (wasn’t possible at that moment to have it play directly from the portal):

Screen my blog for examples, but the personal blog, there are serious issues on the portal at this moment:
