Interface Design
• Captivate shell is easier to reskin than Articulate
• Move buttons around• If you have Flash knowledge you
can import cool Flash widgets into Captivate.– This opens up functionality and
interaction
Customization Techniques
• Course shell– Customize look with Flash elements
Reskin Captivate UI in FLASH
The Twitter Widget
• Increases social aspect• User posts questions• Lets learner know it's been answered• Chain of messages and comments
appears
The Twitter Widget
• How is this a benefit? – The learner gets more out of the course
because of the interactive component. It helps the learner stay engaged.
– The ability to interact with other students by posting questions and seeing other student’s questions.

Custom Animation Filtering• Easily create blurs,
dropshadows through a standard set of pre-created effects

Branching
• The path learners take through the course based on their responses to questions
• Captivate files can adapt themselves to react to a learner’s responses. For example:– If they fail a quiz, brings them back to
more info on that topic– Retake that quiz later
