Re: eLearning tools - Adobe Captivate

[Collin Turner <collinwrites -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hi Bryan,

Short answer? Captivate is a great tool with some great offerings, but is it
the best? Well, that depends upon what you're using it for. If you're
creating quizzes, simulations, "walkthroughs", screencasts or general
eLearning presentations then it's among the best and is my personal choice.

I gave a presentation at my local STC chapter about screencasting that may
help. Here's the outline:

The presentation audio is available here:

Enjoy!
