  22. Adobe Captivate Is a software that automatically records all onscreen actions and instantly creates an interactive Flash simulation. Point and click to add text captions, narration, and e-learning interactions without any programming knowledge. http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/features/?view=topnew

  23. How can you use it? • Can be used for Internet courses • Traditional Courses • Hybrid Courses

  24. Automatically generated when you create a Captivate demonstration: • Mouse path • Visual mouse clicks • Explanations • Standard playback controls

  25. With these capabilities • Adding Videos • Incorporates PowerPoint presentations • Full motion • Simulations with feedback—quiz your students on concepts

  26. Automatically generated when you create a Captivate simulation: • Interactive hot spots • Prompts • Instructional feedback • Scoring & tracking of interactions

  27. This was wonderful • Have you ever had a concept or just syllabus information that the students just don’t get? • Mine was:

  28. Guess how many times I’ve had to say this? There is no Student CD!!!

  29. How many students ask a semester? • On the Internet I list this in at least in 6 different places • I have it posted on the homepage • Did they get it?

  30. Captivate takes minutes to create • Adds clarity • Actually visually assists the students • Fills the gap between instructor and vague concepts • Helps bridge the digital divide • And it lowers that frustration level

  31. Minutes to create or longer • Use existing Power Points • Point and Click—quick and dirty • Animated text and pictures • Incorporate movies and sound • Only creates 2 files to upload • Swf • Html—this file is incorporated into WebCT
