Captivate - Beyond the Essentials
Captivate - Beyond the Essentials Course Details:
This class is a continuation of the concepts covered in Captivate Essentials - An Introduction to Captivate 8. In this course you will fine-tune those concepts by learning about object styles, master slides, themes, and advanced actions. You will be able to personalize your presentations with variables and branching scenarios that will help decide the best path for the learner. You will learn to make your presentations Section 508-compliant with accessibility text and closed captions. Finally, you will learn how to transform your presentations from e-Learning to m-Learning (mobile learning).
For Connected Classroom attendees:
Connected events will be held at a local training center with state-of-the-art video conferencing equipment allowing the course to be broadcast to multiple locations. Students will have the same classroom experience and interact live with the connected classroom instructor. The instructor will be on a large, HD quality screen with interactive video and audio to listen and communicate with students.
