Chapter 1: Introduction and Installation
•
Edit slides and mouse movement
Every screen is a completely editable slide that can be
removed, replaced, or revised. Audio mistakes can easily be fixed using the new audio editor.
This makes changing or updating projects easy.

•
Include interactivity without programming
Increase the effectiveness of simulations by
easily adding interactivity including quizzing with scoring and branching, text entry boxes with
multiple correct answer options, and click boxes. Multiple interactions and objects can be
inserted into a single slide, enabling numerous choices or complex realistic simulations. You
can view and edit all interaction and branching in the new Branching view and Advanced
Interaction dialog box. When recording in simulation mode, Adobe Captivate automatically
adds scored interactions and instructional feedback.

Integrate with other e-learning applications
Leverage existing resources by integrating
simulations with other e-learning tools. Adobe Captivate supports SCORM 2004, SCORM
1.2, PENS and AICC, making it easy to deploy simulations through any learning management
system (LMS). Adobe Captivate integrates especially well with Adobe® Acrobat® Connect™
Professional, even generating special files in the background that enable tracking and searching
in Acrobat Connect Professional.

Let Adobe Captivate do the work, and then import projects into Flash
Take
the
manual
work out of creating software simulations and demonstrations in Flash. With Adobe Captivate,
you don’t need to manually take screenshots and add mouse tweens in Flash. Record
applications in Adobe Captivate and export the project to Flash MX 2004 or Flash 8 for
advanced editing and further development.
