Editor's Notes
- To do items for preso: Go through the recording a few times. What ELB assets are space themed? VideoBlocks – space theme? Create a sample file – quickly!
- Are you ready to build software simulations for desktop and mobile? If so, then you need to attend this session. Learn how to use the new Captivate 8 to record software simulations that automatically respond to your learners' devices, and learn how to record demos and assessments at the same time. In this session you will learn: How to record demos, assessments, and training simulations at the same time How to create mobile, responsive software simulations

- There are some key elements that must be in place before starting any software training program with Adobe Captivate. They are the following: Business Need How is this training going to help meet the business need? By transferring this sytem knowledge we will be able to do what? How is this measurable? Recording Environment Analysis How and where are you going to record the screens? Does the recording system represent the “live state” of the system? What is the screen resolution of the system? Is it responsive? Is it an app? Does Captivate play nice with the system? What percentage of the recording process stays true to the original system? Referenced objects in captions, highlight box size and placement. Also, text entry interactions. Delivery System Analysis How is the student going to consume the training? Will it be the same experience on different screen sizes? If not – what impact will you instructional strategy take, and what is the consequence of the substandard media? Instructional Strategy Demo, Guided, Assessment? Is this for performance support, or is this replacing some aspect of a facilitated training session? Is there a scenario that need to be incorporated into the training to keep the engagement level? Storytelling Can you introduce a real world story that will draw the user into the training experience.
- The business need is going to drive education media output types. Examples include system rollout, system updates, and performance support, or just-in-time training. Solid performance objectives tied back into the business need are critical. If the knowledge is transferred and applied properly – what would be the organizational impact? Very specific learning objectives! Once the training is deployed – how is success measured?
- How and where are you going to record your Captivate movies? Step-by-step recording scope: ASAP identify core business processes in the system Prototype a recording that represents at least one business function, and MUST include the following: All system objects: text entry box, drop down menu, radio buttons, check, box, etc. Any screen changes or movements. Examples: scrolling window, window pop-ups, new windows, closed windows. Check each item to see if Captivate is “playing well”. Write the time it would take to edit each task, or screen change. Print out all the screens for your training. Circle all the elements that will be interacted with based upon the learning objectives. Total the time for the edits in the lower corner. Now add up all your time. This is going to give you a good approximation of the amount of time development is going to take.
- How is this being consumed?
- Fixed projects ae going to maintain the same physical dimension.
- It is important that you set up you recording preferences! This is going to save you the most time – let’s quickly review. Settings Video Mode Keys Modes Defaults Modify the language file! (.RDL) RoboDemo language file.

- Tips and tricks: Swapping out the background image Using an image cover Re-recording Use the custom recording for the guided. Using the edited guided practice for the assessment Set your preferences up with no files open, or in a cohesive template. Know your recording shortcuts! Mark slides that you don’t need. (CTRL+SHIFT+Z) Marked for Undo - Hidden Slides Get your styles set up! Know your modes. Video 16 or 32 bit?
- 5 minutes to answer any questions.
