Adding slides to a project 153
You have complete control over what happens when users answer questions correctly or
incorrectly. For example, you can set one action (such as “go to the next slide”) when a user
supplies a correct answer, and you can set a different action (such as “Open URL or file”) when a
user supplies an incorrect answer. This is commonly called branching.
Measure student performance by using the reporting feature with any type of quiz. Track number
of attempts, track correct and incorrect responses, and send pass/fail data to your learning
management system (LMS). You can also choose to provide students with feedback based upon
correct or incorrect responses.
You can create six different types of question slides in Adobe Captivate:
•
Multiple choice
•
True/False
•
Fill in the blank
•
Short answer
•
Matching
•
Likert
For more information about question slides, see Chapter 13, “Creating eLearning Content,” on
page 201 .
Adding animation slides
If you have a SWF, AVI, or animated GIF file, you can add the file to your Adobe Captivate
project as a new slide. This is a fast and easy way to make your project more informative using
content you have already created.
Note: Adding animation as a slide is most appropriate with larger animation files.
To add an animation slide:
1.
Open an Adobe Captivate project.
2.
From the Insert menu, select Animation Slide.
The Open dialog box appears.
3.
Navigate to the animation file you want to insert (SWF, AVI, or animated GIF) and click Open.
The animation slide is generated is added to the project.
Note: It is important to set the correct frame rate. All imported animation files play at the rate selected
in the Project preferences dialog box, regardless of the rate prior to when the file is imported. The
default setting is 30 Flash frames per second and is appropriate in most cases. You may need to
change the rate if you are embedding your Adobe Captivate SWF in another SWF file that has a
frame rate different than 30.
Note: When you create an animation slide, the amount of time the slide is displayed in the project
automatically defaults to the length of the animation file itself. For example, if the animation file that
you use to create a new animation slide is only 1.2 seconds in length, the animation slide appears for
1.2 seconds. To change the amount of time the slide is displayed, open the slide in Edit view, select
the Slide menu, select Properties, and enter a new number of seconds in Display Time. Or, use the
Timeline to change slide display time.
