Interactive lesson of drawing software

[Yuri_Peixoto]

Hello, friends.

I bring another question about the Captivate use. Consider the following scene:

To create some interactive lessons of (an example), MS Paint: we want that, in some parts of the lesson, the student have the possibility to draw some forms in the screen (rectangles, elipses, etc.), following an indication in the screen (click in point A, hold the mouse button, drag to point B and release the mouse button).

• This can be acomplished with Captivate?
• How?

I already make some software recordings using the assessment mode, and see that it create a "video" of the drawing in the slide... Now, I don´t understand how could I put the student to interact with it.

No idea?

Sorry Yuri,

I just don't think Captivate can do what you were hoping.

I'd imagine you'd need a real flash/javascript/ wiz to do this.

I usually just use a video showing students how its done, then get them to do it in the actual program.

However, one of the Captivate gurus may have some better suggestions.

Cheers,

K

Thanks, Kerry. I just talked with Michael, from captivate.com, and he said me the same thing...

I will talk this to my chief, and see if he will decide by the 'demonstration session' only, or if he will want that I discover how to do this with Flash / Javascript... (and I´m crossing my fingers by the first option).
