One thing I’m really trying to focus on in my master’s coursework are practical skills that will add to my future endeavors. I was presented with an opportunity to take a course on e-learning design and knew that it was a skill that could be beneficial so I jumped at the chance to take it.
We used Adobe Captivate in this class, so I dove into that world. Our graduate assistant said that it is “Powerpoint 2.0” and while I can see some similarities, Captivate is a totally different beast. On top of coming up with a topic, doing the needs assessment, and producing the content I had to meet with my group regularly and deal with being quarantined due to the Corona Virus. It was a wild semester, but I think that I produced an e-learning module that I am proud of. I want to continue to refine my knowledge of Captivate and produce some more modules over the coming months. If you’re interested in see what I came up with, the link is right here.
