Captivate

Have you ever wanted to record a series of steps in an application? For example, have you wanted to show a step-by-step process in Excel? If so, then Captivate might be for you!


Captivate is a screen capture application to create interactive simulations and demonstrations. Captivate automatically records all onscreen actions and instantly generates Flash (.swf) files that you can easily publish to Blackboard or to a web site. Text captions, narration, and e-learning interactions can be easily added without needing to have any programming knowledge. Captivate movies can also include animations, audio, and video.

To learn more about Captivate, contact your Academic Technology Consultant/IRT Consultant or use this online form to request that they contact you.
