Adobe Captivate 2019

Written by Philip Roy on 06 September 2018.

Just a few weeks after writing up my recent experience with Adobe Captivate 2017, Adobe has announced and released Adobe Captivate 2019. I decided to download the trial and take a look at some of the new features.

Adobe Captivate 2019 is a very solid update that brings in some fantastic new features, updates some of the older features with better UI/UX, but still at times proves frustrating. That said, it is well worth the upgrade.

Adobe Connect - Case Study

Written by Philip Roy on 12 October 2010.

The work that I did at Massey University bringing the Adobe Connect web-conferencing system into the University and how we were using it was featured as an Adobe Case Study on their website. I asked Dr Craig Prichard to be involved in the case study also. It was an interesting experiences even just getting the document written up (in terms of the various people we had to deal with) and it's been great to see a link to this case study feature in a few of Adobe's printed brochures.

Adobe Connect and Masters research

Written by Philip Roy on 13 October 2010.

The introduction and adoption of the Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter technologies into Massey University is something I am exceptionally proud of achieving.

Apple Store - Santa Clara 2009

Written by Philip Roy on 09 June 2009.

In 2009, I got the opportunity to spend a week at Adobe HQ as part of the summer school event for Adobe Education Leaders from around the world. After the week I spent a day looking around including a large Mall nearby. There I saw my first 'normal' Apple Store...one in a shopping mall, as opposed to a larger shop that includes a tutorial area. Despite its small size, it was still very well set up and felt spacious.

Thoughts on Adobe Captivate - 2018

Written by Philip Roy on 16 August 2018.

I have used Adobe Captivate since it was first release in 2006 (technically that was in fact version 2, with version 1 being called Macromedia Captivate). However for various reasons I haven't had the opportunity to use Captivate with my work recently…although I have always kept an eye on each iteration that Adobe has released.

With a recent contract as an Instructional Designer/Trainer for the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, I was able to get back into Adobe Captivate for the first time in around 5 years. It was great to be using such a superb tool again, but also frustrating to find that many of the quirks of the program remain after all these years.

During the course of my work I spent some time noting down my frustrations, which I am going to discuss here.
