Overview of this book

Adobe Captivate is used to create highly engaging, interactive, and responsive eLearning content. This book takes you through the production of a few pieces of eLearning content, covering all the project types and workflows of Adobe Captivate. First, you will learn how to create a typical interactive Captivate project. This will give you the opportunity to review all Captivate objects and uncover the application's main tools. Then, you will use the built-in capture engine of Captivate to create an interactive software simulation and a Video Demo that can be published as an MP4 video. Then, you will approach the advanced responsive features of Captivate to create a project that can be viewed on any device. And finally, you will immerse your learners in a 360o environment by creating Virtual Reality projects of Adobe Captivate. At the end of the book, you will empower your workflow and projects with the newer and most advanced features of the application, including variables, advanced actions, JavaScript, and using Captivate 2019 with other applications. If you want to produce high quality eLearning content using a wide variety of techniques, implement eLearning in your company, enable eLearning on any device, assess the effectiveness of the learning by using extensive Quizzing features, or are simply interested in eLearning, this book has you covered!

Adding 360 slides to normal projects

Similar to VR projects, you can add 360o slides to normal and responsive projects, and they will work seamlessly alongside the video slides, simulations, quizzes, and so on. When reaching a 360 slide, the learners will be able to navigate the 360o world, using their mouse. But these slides cannot be viewed in VR devices, as the rest of the project uses a 2D environment. Let's experiment with this capability, using the following steps:

  1. Use the File | New Project | Blank Project menu item to create a new blank or responsive project in Captivate.
  2. Accept the default dimensions for the new project.
  1. On the Toolbar, click Slides | 360 Slide. This adds a 360 slide to your project.
  2. Click the Add 360 Image / Video button located at the center of the slide.
  3. Select the Chapter11/images/Living Room.jpeg image and click Open.

Now, just like the 360 slide in the VR project, you can add Hotspots and associate different actions to...
