Adobe Captivate 3 for education

Top reasons to buy or upgrade to Adobe Captivate 3

• Add interactivity and randomized quizzing without programming knowledge — Increase the effectiveness of simulations by adding interactivity — including quizzing, text entry fields with multiple correct answer options, click boxes, keyboard shortcuts, and buttons — anywhere in your project, complete with scoring and branching. Create complex scenarios and display hierarchies of different learner paths. Insert multiple interactions and objects into a single slide, enabling multiple paths or complex realistic simulations, and choose from a variety of quiz question types. When recording software applications, Adobe Captivate automatically adds scored interactions and instructional feedback. Also improve assessments by randomizing questions and shuffling answers.
• Easily create engaging learning experiences without multimedia skills — Keep students engaged with smoothly integrated audio and video, effects such as the new rich media rollover slidelets, and animated slide transitions. Import Microsoft PowerPoint files with animations and let Adobe Captivate convert slide-based content into Adobe Flash Player compatible SWF files from slide-based content, complete with preloader and playback controls — no Flash software knowledge or programming skills required.
• Rapidly develop learning content in different learner modes — Get up and running quickly using Adobe Captivate software's intuitive point-and-click user interface, a start page with access to handy tutorials, and many timesaving features such as automated text captions. In a single screen recording, create demonstrations that include mouse movements and text descriptions of each recorded task, practice simulations with instructional feedback, and assessments with scored user interactions. Easily synchronize audio with slides and timed objects by recording the narration while previewing the current slide with animation effects in real time. Quickly develop soft-skills simulations and work with the visual branching view to map learner paths.
• Shorten development time for all learning content — With the Adobe Captivate 3 point-and-click interface and online tutorials, anyone can create training content quickly and easily. The project library makes it simple to reuse content and import libraries from existing projects, saving time and money.
• Integrate with eLearning tools and learning management systems — Leverage existing resources by integrating simulations with other eLearning tools. Adobe Captivate supports SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, AICC, and PENS, making it easy to deploy eLearning packages through any learning management system. In addition, leverage simulations with Adobe Acrobat® Connect™ Pro and Adobe Presenter software and the Questionmark Perception assessment tool.

Overview

With Adobe Captivate 3, educators can develop engaging, interactive learning content that improves understanding of course material, software applications, policies, and procedures. Create professional-quality interactive simulations with scored eLearning interactions and instructional feedback or software demonstrations with text captions and mouse movements — without programming knowledge or multimedia skills. And because Adobe Captivate 3 supports AICC and content is SCORM 2004 and SCORM 1.2 certified, it is easy to deploy eLearning content through learning management systems on campus and beyond.
