Question

Wish List for Captivate 5...or 6....or 7

This is what I would like to see in future releases of Captivate:

1) Ability to link Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash files externally to Projects and to Elearning courses in LMS systems.

               This would then allow me to edit and change corporate logos etc without having to republish and re upload to the LMS again

2) Better control for Streaming Video

               Integrate the Slide controls with the Video playing. Having to add a seperate video control causes issues with timing. When a user pauses the video, quite often the Slide player keeps playing, thus giving the user a completed mark, even though the video is paused.

3) More options to edit the look and feel of the content. No matter what you edit, be it colours, fonts etc, it still looks like it was created in Captivate.

          More abilities to change the look and feel of TOC's, where they are placed, top and bottom also for example.

4) Ability to let the users choose a language at the start so that the Notes section will show the scripts etc, in the chosen language.

     When creating Notes for a lside, it would be nice to be able to create different versions of the notes.

5) HTML5 integration.

     This would give me the control to offer several types content and depending on the users browser what is displayed. Most of our employees have no knowledge or interest in having to update Flash this....and Java that.... to view course content.

more to follow...............

    Improvements:

    - no exe(very old)

    - users should be able to define the among of questions he/she wants on a single slide

    - a new blank slide should be available, one like powerpoint (when a user press the return button or click, another point should be shown on the same slide

    -one should be able to jump from one slide to another

    -it should be able to save files in other formats captivate 3, 4, etc.

    -a player should be inbuilt rather than using Flash

    - all contents on a slide should be viewed with the rest of the slide with a single click rather than setting each one of them

    Hi folks

    While it's terrific to brainstorm here in the forums, it will only help us to refine what we, as Captivate authors feel about the product.

    If you really want that Wish List to be viewed by the folks at Adobe that can actually influence it, you need to broadcast on the channel they are tuned in to. And that channel is the Wish Form. Trust me, the results of the Wish Form are directly viewed by the development team. It's a voting game and they prioritize items based on the number of requests for a particular feature.

    Cheers... Rick

    How about the ability to assign keys to the answers (e.g. 1, 2, 3 or a, b, c).  This would really improve the usability of the quizes.

    Yes... that would help make the quizzes more accessible and 508 compliant for people with disabilities.
