Adobe.tv eLearning Channel
For a large part of last year, I was busy creating over 30 tutorials covering many of the key features present in both Adobe Captivate 5 and the Adobe eLearning Suite 2.
But that is not all; I am in the process of creating some more tutorials which should be added to the Adobe eLearning Channel soon.
If you like these videos and are interested in instructor led training then take a look at the Adobe Captivate courses 5 I teach with eSyncTraining.com.

Advanced Actions: Resources
Advanced Actions provide Adobe Captivate users with the ability to include complex interactions in their Captivate projects.
The problem is that most Adobe Captivate users are not programmers and therefore, many would probably benefit from having a decent set of examples that they can use to understand how Advanced Actions (especially Conditional Actions) work.
If only there was a decent set of articles on how to use Advanced Actions. Well, actually there is!
Ever since Adobe Captivate 5 was launched, my good friend Lieve Weymeis has been beavering away writing articles and creating examples to help you get up to speed with this powerful yet for some bewildering Adobe Captivate feature.
So, if you are dipping your toe into the amazing world of Advanced Actions. This list should provide you with lots of good and practical advice to help you get started.

Unlimited durations of Adobe eLearning Suite trials
Adobe has now made it possible for any one to try out a hosted version the Adobe eLearning Suite 2 which means that you don't need to worry about downloading or installing large files.
What is even better is that you no longer need to worry about a limited period to test the software either! With this online version if you need 60 days or 6 months to evaluate the suite, that is fine with Adobe.
Just bear in mind that some features such as audio recording is not possible in this hosted trial mode.

Drag and Drop comes to Adobe Captivate
For years now Captivate users have been crying out for the ability to include drag and drag functionality in their eLearning courses and thanks to a new Widget called Drag and Drop Lite Question Widget that has just been released by the folks at Infosemantics this is now at last possible.
I have been a fan of the widgets created by Infosemantics since they released their first widget as well as their Widget Factory (an ActionScript 3 API containing class libraries for use by Flash ActionScript programmers when creating Adobe Captivate Widgets); so I naturally was delighted when I heard that they intend to address this huge hole in the Adobe Captivate feature set.
This widget - which by the way is available for both Adobe Captivate 4 and 5 - is not only extremely powerful but thanks to the intuitive user interface incredibly easy to use and just $27.00 USD something that no CP user cannot afford to miss out on.
What to learn more? Visit the Infosemantics web site.
