Information on competency required
to attend Adobe Captivate course
We have received queries regarding whether teachers with "average" ICT skills would be
competent to attend this course. The answer is
a definite YES. At first look Captivate may seem intimidating
(because its interface is different from the Microsoft Office interface
we're all familiar with). But Adobe have done a good job of
making Captivate intuitive, easy-to-learn and easy-to-use once you are
familiar with its basic concepts. If a
teacher's
ICT skill levels allow them to create something useful in
Microsoft PowerPoint THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE USEFUL RESOURCES USING ADOBE CAPTIVATE.
