As I stated in a previous post, Captivate 4 is a must-have, monster upgrade for any Captivate user. It is the first Captivate release that can reasonably produce a complete elearning content package. Prior versions either forced users to live with the inadequate and ugly ‘menu builder’ or create their own custom packaging/wrapper. The new version has an aggregator feature, and much much more.

As for the Elearning Suite. I have not played with it other than a prerelease version where I took a quick peek and nothing made sense at the time, but that was early in the process. I am very interested in seeing the new learning interactions included in Flash CS4. I just upgraded the the CS4 Web Developer Edition at work so I’m kind of bummed at the timing of this release, as by now most serious elearning designers/developers have moved to CS4 and certainly won’t be able to expense another upgrade this soon. I guess instead of CS5 we’ll go with the Elearning Suite : )

The trial downloads are available on Adobe’s site. Have at em and let me know what you think of these new tools. I’m very interested in hearing how people leverage these new tools!

Little things (that are big things) just drive me nuts about it. Anyways, here (mainly for me for future reference) is a script to force the content window to be fullsized. It goes in the BODY and not the HEAD (which, for some reason, wasn’t working as it would get ignored).

<!– Fullsize the browser window (Adobe Connect makes it too small to start!) –>
<script language=”Javascript1.1″ type=”text/javascript”>
if (top.frames.length!=0)
top.location=self.document.location;
self.moveTo(0,0);
self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
self.focus();
</script>

If anyone reading this has had any success getting 3rd-party (ie, not packaged by Captivate or Adobe Presenter) AICC content to track properly in Adobe Connect Training, *please* email me a working sample as I’d love to see it work.
