I can tell you that I have never felt limited by Adobe Captivate. Maybe Adobe has a plan for a complete overhaul of everything and that’s why some of these problems? I don’t know – perhaps someone here in the forum has an insight on what’s going on. This decision on Adobe’s part to drop such an important editing feature in PS, along with Captivate still being 2019 and all the vaporware marketing for the past 3 years on an upcoming new version, makes me wonder what’s going on at Adobe. Well anyway, I had to drop PhotoShop and use Affinity to do my 360 editing for Captivate (frustrating). While Articulate also offers 360 view, it lacks in a few features like how markers are treated – it’s not as good as Captivate (IMO). We were stunned since one of Adobe Captivate’s powerful tools IS it’s 360 view feature. While the feature is still there, it’s very clunky since support ended. On another note, we’ve been terribly disappointed with Adobe’s decision to drop support for 360 view editing in PhotoShop. But, if your using Adobe’s LMS product (Adobe Learning Manager), Captivate is probably what you’ll want to use (IMO). The LMS system that we have has a lot of problems with Captivate’s code, whereas Articulate works flawlessly. Be sure to test it with your LMS before committing. Captivate and Articulate fabricate HTML differently. However, your courseware editing tool has to be friendly with your LMS or you’ll have a huge headache on your hands. That is my couple of pennies on this topic. And get on the forums and read through others questions. Learn as much as you can (there is plenty online for free). Make use of trials (some are longer than others) and just get into it. Nothing says you can’t expand and try another.
I guess what I can say is pick one to start, whichever fits your needs, price range, and skill set and start there. I have worked with different organizations over the past few years who have used other applications as well. Typically an organization will make that decision for you and you will have to learn whatever they choose. But quicker doesn’t necessarily mean better. Generally, from what I have heard from other IDs who have used both, the learning curve with Articulate is quicker. Is one better than the other? That is a matter of preference, in my opinion. It that limiting in what you can do? Maybe. Personally, I like both, and the more applications you can use, the better they will serve you. There are acolytes of each.īeing someone who uses both, I can simply say there are differences in each piece of software. His mission is to improve the quality of eLearning with practical approaches that work.I’m going to bet you will get two different straightforward answers if you posted this same question in the Articulate and Adobe forums. His tool reviews appear each month in Learning Solutions Magazine and he is the recipient of several awards and many letters of recommendation for his work in eLearning, including a Lifetime Achievement Award way back in 1999 and the second ever eLearning GuildMaster Award in 2013. Joe is also a frequent teacher and presenter online and at industry conferences and client sites (during times without a pandemic!), especially on the subject of eLearning design and development tools. This year he organized and ran the 24-Hour Conference IABL Online Conference. Joe is a Director with the International Association for Blended Learning (IABL), a nonprofit international organization whose goal is to promote the use of the best form of learning for each component of a learning curriculum across all industries and academia. Joe evaluates eLearning results, both for his own work and the work of others for his clients.
Of course, Joe and his team also create eLearning from start to finish, performing the proper analyses, design needs, the development of the learning and its implementation. He is widely considered a guru for his expertise in eLearning development and technology, and he consults with clients worldwide, creating eLearning modules and templates, often training personnel in their use and then making himself available to assist if necessary. He holds a degree in Computer Science and writes books and articles about eLearning. Joe has been involved in every aspect of multimedia and learning development. Joe Ganci is President of eLearningJoe, LLC, a custom learning company located outside Washington.
