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.

Introducing the Quiz

During the first part of this chapter, you will insert a Quiz at the end of the takeTheTrain.cptx project. For pedagogical reasons, it is important to introduce the Quiz to the students. You should explicitly state what is going to happen and how the student will be graded. You will now insert one more slide in the project, using the following steps:

  1. Open Captivate.
  2. Open the Chapter07/takeTheTrain.cptx.
  3. Use the Filmstrip to go to slide 21.
  4. Use the Slides | Content Slide icon on the Toolbar to insert a new slide in the project. Confirm that the new slide is slide 23 of the project.

Remember that Captivate inserts new slides after the selected one. But this case is a bit special. Because slide 22 is used as an Overlay Slide for the Interactive Video of slide 21, these two slides form a single system. Therefore, the new slide has been inserted after that system. In other words, the new slide is slide 23, regardless of slide 21 or 22 being the selected one at the time...
