Inserting an image

Your first task of this chapter is to insert an image on a slide.

An image is worth a thousand words
Images play an important role in eLearning, and are a tremendously efficient way to convey meaning without using a single word! In our modern world, where learners are more and more reluctant to read (especially on a screen), this old saying takes on a whole new dimension. The more I progress into eLearning, the more I use images. Another benefit of images is that they don't need to be translated when creating a multilingual course. You can save on translation costs while creating a more efficient and appealing eLearning module!

Adding images to your project is simple to do in Captivate, and is similar to what is found in other applications. Follow these steps to insert an image into a slide:

  1. Make sure that you are still on the second slide of your Captivate project
  2. Click the Media | Image icon on the Toolbar.
  3. Navigate to the Chapter02/ folder of your exercise...
