Best Recommendations for using limited resources for a good Captivate Program

If this project were given to me, I would likely record everything in Camtasia, including the PowerPoint slides, edit it in Camtasia and publish it as an MP4. Camtasia even lets you add multiple choice questions and publish for SCORM. Captivate may not be the right tool in this case.

Why use Captivate at all? Just use PPT... This is not looking like an eLearning course needing a real eLearning authoring tool. A PPT plugin could do the trick. Captivate has Video Demo to capture video and your webcam but you want to use Zoom????  Snagit and or Camtasia would be a better choice as well than Zoom.

The 'best approach' is to design your e-learning module according to the list of learning objectives that have been defined for your specific target audience within the limitations of the technology they will be using to consume the content.

Perhaps you can answer these questions:

• What technology will your target audience be using? (PC, tablet or mobile phone)
• What type of content will you be delivering?  (e.g. software simulation, soft-skills training, etc)
• If your current content a PowerPoint deck and you are only intending to capture a narrator talking while presenting each PPT slide, what advantage is ZOOM giving that you don't already have with Captivate's own Video Demo functionality?
