About Captivate
Captivate began as a screen recording tool known as Flashcam and gradually developed into an E-learning authoring tool. Shortly before Adobe Systems acquired Macromedia, they changed the name of the product to Captivate.
Captivate is referred to by most developers as a rapid e-learning tool. In other words, it allows average users to rapidly develop e-learning content, and install it online quickly.
Basically, this tool records screens, keyboard entries, and mouse clicks; then, plays them back. The developer can add captions, graphics, buttons, and a variety of interactive elements to boost the learning experience.
Although Captivate is marketed as a tool for creating interactive simulations and software demonstrations, it’s actually much more powerful. For example, you can use it to convert PowerPoint to Flash, as well as create tests and assessments. Its other capabilities include voice-over narration, audio editing, menu/navigation development, and animated text.
Captivate is a great tool for educators, learning professionals and business and enterprise users.
