Sometimes the triggers work great and other times I just shake my fist at the eLearning gods and vent to my cat because what worked in another course no longer works in a course I’m currently working on. Captivate doesn’t have anything at the moment to challenge Rise, including the review feature baked into Rise (which comes in very handy).Ī note about triggers…I often find myself scratching my head and using techniques I picked up with Captivate 7/8 to pause slides (to keep them from advancing) in S元60. Responsive design can be truly responsive with Captivate, but time consuming to build. Shared actions are pretty cool and actually leads to faster development of a SCORM S元60 has made it easier to copy large sets of triggers and has made them easier to move them around, but it still feels clunky compared to shared actions. You can change colors on vector graphics on the fly within Captivate (and there’s not need to round-trip for that).Īdvanced actions and variables (when you get good at them) just work (can’t say the same thing for Storyline triggers and layers more on that in a bit). There’s a video of a well known Articulate acolyte who talks about the round-tripping, but she never actually shows it happening (and for good reason because at the time Articulate was having issues with the round-trip links breaking). Round-tripping is possible between various Adobe tools (and Microsoft word) S元60 has gotten good at this, but in the past the roundtrip link with CC tools would often break. S元60 uses a “font” approach to mimic asterisks. Password fields function like they do in real life with Captivate this is important for software sims. With S元60 it is a PITA that requires some basic HTML and remembering to include your file in the published product. You can create custom hotspots (with a little tech-know-how and Illustrator).Īdding your own loading gif is super easy with Captivate. VR is compatible with VR headsets (S元60 can only work with 360 images, but not headsets). Here is my take on Captivate’s strengths: Captivate is great for everything else, including software simulations. I use Storyline for those times when I need an individual scrub bars on a multi-video SCORM (very easy to do) or to quickly change a PPT into a SCORM. I use Rise whenever there’s going to be tons of changes in the near future or the information is super text heavy (great for insurance related courses) and for when we need rapid development/deployment. I am one of those odd ones who uses both Storyline and Captivate at work. Personal reasons and Captivate is what I cut my teeth on.
