I learned to use Captivate before it was an Adobe product. For 2 years, I used it to generate a wide variety of learning content for a sprawling marketing agency in Chicago. The client programs I served ranged from pet food, to golf clubs, to wine & credit cards (ugh). I found it genuinely rewarding and entertaining as I appreciated the variety, and the challenge of processing fresh subject matter on a regular basis. Like many of you, I get bored easily.
Fast forward many years later and I am now re-learning to use this authoring software as I re-boot my instructional design career in hopes of capitalizing on the opportunity to work remotely / from home. There are so many high-quality instructional designer positions available right now and I would prefer to keep my own hours and work from (wherever).
I’ve watched a handful of (YT) videos and am trying my best to get up to speed with what is now a far more powerful and complex platform than what I used to know (hopefully less buggy, too).
Am looking for informed opinions that can steer me in the right direction to efficiently and effectively re-acquainting with Captivate. I am currently 100% fluent in power point, do lots of narration, have good video editing skills and love to tell stories and connect with learners.
Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
