Learn about Standard Advanced Actions in Adobe Captivate!
So you know the basics of Captivate pretty well but you want to enhance your lessons. Captivate Advanced Actions can help you take you lessons to the next level. In this course, we will work through standard advanced actions. You will also learn how to create and use User-Defined Variables. These types of variables can collect data typed by the learner that can be recalled at any time throughout the course.
Attend this live online 3-hour class and you'll get clarity on what is often considered the murkiest part of mastering Adobe Captivate.
