Authoring Tool Test Drive: Captivate vs. Storyline
Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline? Which is the tool for you? Both tools have great features and raving fans. Both tools also have “quirks” and critics. So how do you decide? By trying it out for yourself! In this one-day hands-on overview, you’ll get a chance to try out both tools and decide for yourself which is a better fit.
Will you walk away an expert in either tool? Not at all. But you’ll have a valuable first-hand perspective about what it’s really like to work in the tools. You’ll be able to make better decisions about your tool choice, rather than just relying on marketing data or an article here and there.
Please plan to come with a laptop with both software applications installed (trial version OK) in order to get the most out of this experience. Previous experience with either tool or eLearning not required.
