ALS recap, and Preview of Captivate on Mac

Wow, November has been hectic and I’m glad I have some breathing room now. We had the Adobe Learning Summit and DevLearn- both of which saw a large involvement from Captivate and eLearning Suite teams. We had some great sessions at ALS that showcased the use of Captivate and eLS. My favorites included the sessions by Josh Cavalier and Joe Ganci on ‘Captivate for beginners’ and ‘Captivate for power users’ respectively; the session by Fran Keefe on eLearning Suite integration in a Flash (she provides a unique perspective of Flash as used by IDs and Trainers in an eLearning context- which is very different and much simpler compared to how web designers or other creatives use Flash. The recording of that session will be available soon). And by far the most talked about session – RJ’s sneak peek of Adobe Captivate on Mac. By the way, we are accepting new members to the pre-release- so do email me if you would like to participate.

Also, I hosted a session on ‘Collaborative learning using Captivate and Twitter’. I will be posting a link to the recording in the next few days (I’m not as good as RJ and the others with Connect recordings- hence I need to figure out a few things on getting the recording right).

    I’m running Captivate 4 in Windows 7 on a Macbook using Parallels. I’d love to be part of the pre-release for Captivate for Mac.

    Captivate user on Vista… and can’t wait for a Mac version (one less reason to use Bootcamp). I would definitely be interested in piloting and providing feedback.

  • Sarah Schmidt

    I really enjoyed the session on Captivate for Power Users. Do you know of any other tutorials like this? I keep finding information on the basics and really need more information on the more advanced skills.

  • Frank Lee

    Mac pre-release? Please? Will I be able to swap my current Windows version license for the Mac version when it ships?

    I’d really like to be part of the Mac trial if it’s still ongoing. I develop distance learning courses and not being able to use Captivate on a Mc has been a real pain!!!
