Software simulations - Captivate 8

Hi,

This may be a stupid question, but hopefully I'll get some answers.

I've recorded three modes (demo, training and assessment) at the same time and no problems with that.

What I would like is the learner to go through step 1 (demo), and directly after come to step 2 (training) and last but not least, step 3 (assessment).

My problem is that I really don't know how to "merge" the modes together (looks like each and every mode has turned into an own project if you know what I mean.)

Do I have to save each and every project mode in a certain format or how do I do this?

Grateful for help!

/Sandra

Correct answer Lilybiri

You have the 3 files open in 3 tabs.

Select all slides in the Fillmstrip of the training sim with CTRL-A and

copy them (CTRL-C). Go to the Demo tab, select the last slide in the

Fimstrip, paste the copied slides. Same work flow for the Assessment slidrs.

Hi and thank you so much for answering!

I actually just did what you wrote, so it seems to work.

Although, is this the way it works in CP or is it just an easier way?

I've been working a lot in Storyline (which I know is not the same), where you could save the video modes and then adding them choosing what kind of mode you wanted. But, I assume it doesn't work that way in CP?

Each tool has its work flows, Captivate has a much longer history. In

earlier versions you had to import slides to merge - similar to importing

PPT-slides. Since the appearance of the MDI (multiple display interface),

which are those tabs, copy/paste is the way to go. I often add a menu slide

for that type of "Show, Try, Test" case to give the user more control, not

everyone wants to sit watching a passive demo, at least lot of my students

jumped immediately to the training or even assessment.
