Summary

At the end of this chapter, use the Preview | Project icon on the toolbar to take a look at the whole project and let yourself be amazed at the job you have already accomplished!

In this chapter, you learned how to use various tools to layout, animate, and synchronize the elements of your eLearning project. These tools include the Library, Smart Guides, the Align toolbar, Effects and, most importantly, Timeline.

Used individually, these tools are great, but it is when used in combination that they reveal all their power and flexibility.

By syncing the elements of the slides, you reached another milestone in the creation of your eLearning course. But the road is still long before the project can be considered finished.

One of the most impressive capabilities of Captivate is its ability to generate highly interactive animations. In the next chapter, you will learn how to add interactivity, taking your projects to an even higher level.
