Capture that E-Learning Demo: Update

I’ve been getting some very positive feedback about my recent series of blog posts reviewing TechSmith Camtasia and Adobe Captivate. Some contributors have also been kind enough to point out some deficiencies regarding the usability of the review - you may recall it was written over four days and four posts. One great suggestion was to create a TOC in each post so that readers could easily navigate to each section of the review.

Given the number of responses to the E-Learning Demo comparison articles, I have decided to combine them and make them available to all as a downloadable whitepaper (PDF format) so that capcampdfthe review can be read in one easily-accessible document.

Click here read the review in a new browser window, or right-click and Save As… to download a copy of the paper to your PC or Mac. You will need Adobe Reader to view the file. Click here to download Adobe Reader 9.

My final thought for today: I put a lot of time and effort into writing (hopefully) useful, informative and stimulating material for this e-learning blog. Being a learning and development professional, the posts I find most satisfying to write concern the reasons people want to learn, the theories and approaches that support learning, and how best to enable learners to acquire knowledge. I guess I have to admit that sometimes I forget that maybe the practical ‘just-in-time’ material is as important as the more esoteric material. In future, I’ll certainly add more posts concerning the practical elements of e-learning development, deployment and delivery into the mix.

I am using both. Camtasia is great for the video recording and captivate is great for the e-learning module production. I'm trying to figure out how to integrate the camtasia videos into my captivate files. Have you had any luck?

Thanks for reading my blog and taking the time to respond. In response to your query: which version of Captivate do you use?
