    Captivate..best choice for Quizzes?

    Rich146 Community Member

      I am wondering if Captivate is the best choice for quiz development. I am used to the creative possibilities with Flash and find the "templated" nature of Captivate limiting and frustrating. I would like some validation from you Captivate users before I spend too much more time trying to get this lame application to work for me. (maybe it's me that is lame but I am frustrated). Do you all think this is a viable application that is worthy of the learning curve and limitations?

       

      Thank you

          Hi Rich,

           

          I happen to be a big fan of Captivate. I've been using it since it's RoboDemo days and it keeps getting better. That having been said, if your primary need is to develop quizzes, there are better options out there.  I tend to use Captivate quizzing only when I want to add a few questions as an integrated part of a course. If I wanted to develop a stand alone quiz, I would turn elsewhere. If you have the Flash skills, there's no reason not to use Flash. There are also programs specifically designed for quiz development.

           

          One person's opinion!

            ERR229,

             

            Thanks for the response.

            You said "There are also programs specifically designed for quiz development".  I have been searching for other apps but no luck. Do you have some suggestions?
