Adobe Captivate 8 revolutionizes eLearning Creation

Adobe has announced Adobe Captivate 8, the latest release of the company’s category-leading eLearning authoring tool. Adobe Captivate 8 software recognizes the realities of today’s device-abundant world where authors are expected to cater to the learning needs of mobile users. The software drastically reduces the authoring effort by allowing trainers and educators to create once and deliver multi-screen responsive content without programming.

“While the demand for mobile learning content is growing exponentially, usage is low. In part, this is because of the effort and programming skills required to make a course suitable for mobile devices. Captivate 8 aims to solve that problem by making it easy for authors to create great looking, interactive eLearning content that plays appropriately on any device,” said Tridib Roy Chowdhury, General Manager & Senior Director of Products, Adobe.

Mobile learning is more than merely making eLearning content accessible on mobile devices. With Adobe Captivate 8, developers can leverage device-specific capabilities, such as GPS to deliver timely, location-aware content to learners, and gesture-based navigation to allow learners to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe their way through courses. Additionally, Adobe Captivate 8 enables device aware eLearning by automatically detecting a learner’s device and delivering the most appropriate experience for it.

The new Adobe Captivate 8 is now available worldwide. Updates from Captivate 7 and Captivate 6 (and earlier) are INR29,484 and INR7,3710, respectively.
