Tools such as Adobe Captivate are great for quickly developing eLearning. However, because of the interface, you will quickly hit a limit on what you can do. While it’s possible to get past a few of these barriers with Advanced Actions or Shared Actions, the time it takes to create is time-consuming. Fortunately, the engineers at Adobe have opened a door that allows you to insert your own custom scripts.

In this webinar, you will get a quick introduction to how to write your own JavaScript that is geared for Adobe Captivate. You will learn how to write your own scripts within Adobe Captivate that quickly enhances your eLearning. While scripting can be intimidating, you will enjoy your time in this webinar.
