You can use Adobe Captivate in many ways. It has many different features to help you achieve the best eLearning for your audience and the topics they need to learn. One of the features you may have never used is Video Demos. Like Software Simulations, you can focus on capturing the full screen, part of the screen, or an application window. However, Video Demos also give you full fidelity of the captured screen movements and choices made rather than creating a separate slide for each. They also let you capture your microphone and your webcam video, so you can guide learners directly. Publish the final result as an MP4 and you can upload it to your LMS or your favorite video site. v

With any training plan, leadership will want to know how much the training is going to cost, the profitability of the training, as well as what the value of it is to the organization overall.   That’s why proving return on investment (ROI) is a vital step in any training strategy. ROI helps leaders better understand how the efforts of the organization are performing and what changes need to be made to get the desired results. In this ebook, you’ll learn: The training costs of compliance, onboarding, and upskilling/reskilling  How much it will cost an organization if they don’t train employees  How to calculate ROI for new managers, compliance, and onboarding plans

Experts and futurists are unanimous that the NEW important skill for all workers is critical thinking. Why is that? The reality is that we are in a global economy where change is rapid, the unpredictability of events abound, there is the shrinking of the new workforce, and of course, digitalization.

Are games and gamification part of your learning strategy? We hope so. Game-based learning has been proven to increase employee participation, training enjoyment and knowledge retention. Perhaps your strategy is not quite right and consequently, you’re not seeing the desired results. We get it. The Game Agency interviewed five instructional designers about what could go wrong with a gamification strategy: They shared the 10 most common mistakes you may be making and how to fix them.

We now understand that gamification is more than throwing points, badges, and leaderboards at a program. And we’ve also peeked into the full potential of gamification with hundreds of possible mechanics, not to mention all the dynamics and other considerations that go into successful gamification. So where do we start? What do we have to have to create quality gamified programs, and what are the things we can add in later? This eBook provides some of the fundamental questions to inspire creative gamification design. It includes questions to ask yourself before you begin the gamification process, as well as questions to ask yourself continually throughout the process. Keep in mind, these questions will not apply to every situation and should be taken in context to what you are gamifying. Also, constant monitoring of feedback and metrics will be required as you slowly make incremental improvements, add new game features, and utilize new game mechanics.
