The prestige Adobe once had in elearning has been fading in recent years – which is why the recent announcement regarding Captivate 9 and their new LMS (Adobe Captivate Prime) come at a critical time. Articulate Storyline allows for simulations as well and many swear by it over Captivate. For a long time this is where Captivate really shined. We created simulations for in-person training as well as strictly elearning. What I loved were the software simulations that I could create and how impressive (and useful) they were for clients. I spent hours on the phone with their support because of technical glitches up to version 6. Articulate wasn’t the juggernaut that it is today, and aside from learning how to program Flash, Macromedia Captivate was your next best option.Īdobe took over Captivate around version 3 or 4 (I cannot recall which one exactly). Our relationship goes back a long way too as I can recall the days of using Captivate when it was owned by Macromedia.ĭuring those years there weren’t many other alternatives. I have a confession to make: I have a love/hate relationship with Adobe Captivate. Perhaps the more exciting news though is the release of Adobe Captivate 9. Sure, people that are already using Adobe products will likely just pick their LMS, but I wonder if it will have the ability to pull people away from other system? Time will tell.
I’m interested to see how that one plays out and what the general perception will be from those who use it. I discussed the new Adobe learning management system previously in this article. Specifically, they released their learning management system and Adobe Captivate 9. If you haven’t heard yet, Adobe made some news in the elearning industry yesterday.
