CHAPTER 13
Creating eLearning Content
You can use Adobe Captivate to create truly interactive e-learning projects with full SCORM/
AICC compliance. With the addition of PENS compliance in Adobe Captivate 2, collecting, 
managing, and publishing quiz results has become much easier. Adobe Captivate lets you do the 
following:
Create quizzes that automatically integrate with your learning management system (LMS). 
Capture scoring data from all interactive elements, including click boxes, text entry boxes, 
buttons, and quizzes. Each interactive element can be assigned a weight, Objective ID, and 
Interaction ID for integration with an LMS.
Create a manifest file to better coordinate Adobe Captivate projects with your LMS.
Use the Quiz Manager to set new PENS options and streamline the management and 
publication of quiz results.
Add a variety of question types in projects including multiple choice, true and false, matching, 
rating scale, fill in the blank, and short answer. 
Use the Branching view to customize content in response to viewer answers. Branching 
provides different paths for correct and incorrect answers. Review and manage all branching in 
the Branching view.
Provide instant feedback to users through messages for correct, incorrect, and incomplete 
answers.
To access the eLearning options, from the Project menu, select Quiz Manager. To add quizzes, 
from the Insert menu, select Question Slide.
About branching in Adobe Captivate projects
Branching is an important concept in creating effective e-learning materials. Branching 
(sometimes called “contingency branching”) means that the path a learner takes through the 
program is determined by responses made to questions. It is an excellent method of 
individualizing learning materials. Branching may be made on the basis of correct answers to a 
question, wrong answers to a question, an option selected by the learner, or based on the learner's 
experience, job category, level, or any other category.
