Adobe Systems has announced Adobe Captivate 2 software, which helps in creating powerful simulations, software demonstrations, and scenario-based training modules without programming knowledge or multimedia skills.
Adobe Captivate 2, which is based on the Adobe Flash platform, automatically generates interactive content in Flash format, without requiring users to learn Flash.
With this software, training professionals, educators, and business users can quickly create content that includes scored interactions, feedback, audio, and video. A new simulation wizard within the software helps users develop soft-skills simulations, add content to placeholder slides, and set up branching with simple point-and-click functionality.
Announcing the software, Naresh Gupta, senior vice president - print and classic publishing, Adobe, said, "With Adobe Captivate 2, anyone within an organization can develop simulation-based or interactive learning material, saving the time, investment, and cost of training users in person. With new features such as scenario branching and the ability to add Flash video, Adobe Captivate 2 delivers engaging, interactive content creation across organizations and industries."
The new software facilitates the power of Flash technology to be utilized to create high quality content while maintaining small file size, as also to generate multiple file formats such as SWF, EXE, or MP3 for podcasts. Flash users can direct the speed of Adobe Captivate 2 by exporting project files directly into the Flash-authoring tool for advanced editing and scripting.
Adobe Captivate 2 content can be deployed and included with other e-learning solutions such as Breeze, Authorware, Questionmark Perception, and SCORM/AICC-compliant Learning Management Systems (LMS).
Meanwhile, Adobe Captivate 2 software is expected to ship later this year at an estimated street price of $599. Registered users can upgrade to Adobe Captivate 2 for an estimated street price of $299. Volume discounts, government and education licensing are also available to eligible customers.
