Previously when I discussed freeform and template-based rapid content authoring tools, I kept software simulation tools aside.

Content authoring needs to embrace digital video. Various types of video such as AVI, MPG and SWF are supported.

Publishing in Captivate takes your source content and outputs it into a format that can be consumed (viewed) by the learner.

Of course, SWFs have a problem.
