In today’s world, there are many ways to deliver information. Take this blog, for example, I am providing information in a story format. I am not necessarily delivering information in the traditional sense of education but nonetheless, I am connecting with my audience. However, there are many methods for sharing information both in a traditional setting such as education to DIY projects presented in YouTube. Through my participation in an online class, I am learning about different modalities and wanted to share a new system with you called Adobe Captivate 9. Adobe Captivate 9 allows you to create professional looking and highly instructional using a single tool. Captivate 9 allows you to add interactive elements to transform static content into content that is responsive and creative. Let me tell you about one feature that I found resourceful and see if it would work for you in your job or even in a blog.
As I have started to explore, and when I say explore, I mean slowly creep through Adobe Captivate 9, there are many features that are quite overwhelming yet intriguing. One of the features that I found as a valuable asset was knowledge check questions. When working with clients or sharing information with my community, I do not necessarily need the feature of assessments such as quizzes or graded questions. I would just like the ability to check in and gain some insight and feedback from my audience to ensure that I am communicating and delivering information in an understandable and meaningful way. Captivate 9 offers the feature to insert knowledge check questions that are not graded but yet still gauge the learner’s understanding about a particular topic or subject. When you are not working in an educational setting, this feature allows you to check-in with your audience without making them feel like they are back in school.
The added bonus is that there are two ways to present feedback based on the answered provided by the learner. First, you can trigger immediate feedback. For example, the learner would answer the question and if the answer was incorrect, the feedback would pop up within the slide, which I consider immediate feedback. This allows the learner to see that they did not select the right answer and you, the author to provide them insight about the answer without moving forward in the presentation. The second option, is that you can generate feedback that takes the learner to the original knowledge slide. For instance, if the learner read information on slide A and slide B is a knowledge check point and the learner selected the wrong answer, the presentation would return the learner to slide A to review the information once again and proceed forward to the Slide B, where the learner can be re-assessed.
I hope you enjoyed hearing about just one of the many features that Adobe Captivate 9 has to offer and potentially explore how Captivate 9 would allow you to deliver in a fun, dynamic way. Here is a great news, you can try Adobe Captivate 9 on a trail base for 30 days to see if it is something you would like to explore. Click here to learn more and enjoy!
