In this Adobe Captivate 9 Training course, students will learn the core Adobe Captivate skills needed to create interactive eLearning and mLearning content. Through hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to create a soft-skills lesson from scratch and how to record and produce software demonstrations, and interactive training simulations.
Students will also learn how to control the mouse pointer and add such standard objects as text captions, images, characters, highlight boxes and other assets. Participants will record, import and edit audio, and further enhance the learner experience by adding interactivity via click boxes, buttons and text entry boxes.
