Hi all, I’ve been working on my software capture skills and realized there’s a better way to set yourself up when you come to publish.
Scenario: You want to create a demo and training simulation.
Conventional Captivate workflow will have you create two separate files. But, when I put my Instructional Design hat on, it means more clicking for the learner to open and close the two files i.e. click of death.
My solution: create only a training sim, then insert a software demo inside the training file ( add a video demo slide before the training slides)
This way all the info the learner needs is in one file. Less clicking, less boredom, less cognitive overload opening closing files.
Here’s a link to the sample file to give you a better idea: http://chilp.it/6ec0d93
Hope this helps

Chandra, yes once you’ve created your training demo add a new slide (from top left + slides, choose video demo, option to place it in order, then record). I like this as the learner then watches first, then practices in a safe environment all in one file.
