E-Learning Uncovered: Adobe Captivate 8 Paperback – June 11, 2014

I agree with the other reviews that this book is a bit hard to follow. It keeps referring to tips and "more info" in other chapters instead of telling you everything about a feature right then and there. There are no examples/lessons to follow along with and try on your own. It essentially seems like a big data dump. I think this book would be great for referencing back to see what a particular feature can do but not so much for someone trying to learn the step by step basics of captivate.

Just Excellent. This book does it exactly what it should do...it explains the program from top to bottom. Not a 'project'-based book like the only other one offered here at this time (which does a horrible job of explaining how the program actually works). This book breaks down each section, task, function, and feature of Captivate 8 - which is a whole different animal than its predecessors. Plenty of screen captures and illustrations make everything perfectly clear, and it takes the time to explain how to do virtually everything this amazon program has to offer with valuable tips and ideas throughout. Once again, Adobe has nailed it...and Captivate is the future of eLearning, leaving Articulate and Lectora in the dust. This book is the perfect companion and reference guide...just excellent!

I'm taking a class and this was a required book. I do not like the writing style of the book. I do not like the fact that there are no exercises that go along with each chapter. There are exercises on the web page, but they do not seem to coincide with other similar books, where there is an exercise file or folder for each chapter. It is not laid out in a way where you really know what you are supposed to accomplish in each chapter. Each page is too busy.

Even though I produce online learning, and take those kind of courses myself. There is still a need to be able to cover all of the functionality in a software application. This book does that very well. It is still easier to search for concepts and functionality in a book like this than it is to search through online courses to solve a production problem... thanks very much for this book!

I keep this at my desk as a quick reference guide. So far it has served well to clarify anything I can't easily find online. One of the tools I have found essential to creating e-learning with Captivate 8.

good interesting book-- better if used as support for a class. Not so much if you're trying to self teach.

I am partial to the AGI Digital Classroom books but was instructed to used this since there aren't as many books on Captivate. This is not as easy to follow with lots of side notes pointing you to different chapters.

as advertised

This book is not fit beginners. Didn't help me at all. There's no explanation about what you can do in captivate in layman a terms. I didn't understand all the jargon

good comprehensive and easy to follow

Happy customer

Great product, really helpfull.

Clear instructions, and the 'Tips' are useful. Well laid out.
