Smart Learning interactions were introduced in June 2012 as a new feature of Captivate 6. Smart Learning Interactions are complex interactive objects with built-in behavior. Smart Learning interactions and Widgets have a lot in common. First, it is possible to download more interactions from the Internet. Second, Smart Learning Interactions can be customized in various ways using a workflow that is very similar to the one used to customize Widgets. The main thing that makes them different is that Smart Learning Interactions are entirely compatible with both Flash and HTML5, which is not the case with most Widgets.

Captivate 7 has added many interesting, new, and improved Smart Learning interactions. In the next sections, you will explore a few of these Smart Learning interactions.
