(5) Captivate

 I needed more time to get comfortable with Captivate. We used Captivate a little bit more in class and now I feel very comfortable with it. I even discovered that you can upload a PowerPoint presentation into Captivate as a template for an eLearning module. I thought before that Captivate did not allow the designer to easily create aesthetically appealing learning modules, but using PowerPoint makes making pretty modules really easy for Captivate novices like me. 
Some of the buttons are still lost on me, but I can easily figure them out by trial and error or by simply hovering the arrow over it to get a general idea of its function.
This video shows a professional using Captivate to develop training.
It goes to show that a training developer of any skill level can use this program to create effective and interactive training modules.
