Assessment mode

Use the assessment mode when you want to test how well the user has understood a procedure. You can set a score for

every correct click. You can also set the number of times the user can attempt a procedure. When the user fails to click

the right option in the number of attempts provided, the movie moves to the next step. The user does not get any score

for the failed attempt.

When recording slides in assessment mode, Adobe Captivate does the following:

• Adds click boxes at places where the user must click the mouse.

• Adds text entry boxes for user input. The failure caption is added to each text entry box.

Custom mode

Use the custom mode when working on a project where you need a mix of features available in the other modes. This

mode allows you to achieve the highest level of customization in Adobe Captivate. Using the custom mode, you can

create a project that is part demo, part training, and also includes assessment. None of the Adobe Captivate objects are

added by default during recording in the Custom mode.

For example, let us consider a movie meant for training the user on editing a file. In the first few slides for simpler tasks

like opening the application and opening the file, you can retain the slides created in the demo mode. When you move

to the slides describing the procedure for editing, you can add the various objects with which the user can interact.

Finally, you can provide for assessment slides at the end of the project.

Multimode recording

When you record an Adobe Captivate project, you can choose to record in more than one mode. Multimode recording

helps you save time when working on projects that require outputs in more than one autorecording mode.

Manual recording

You can create a project manually by taking screenshots during recording. Use manual recording when you want to pick

and choose a few screenshots during the recording process. The procedure can get tedious for complicated procedures

involving many steps.

Panning

Use panning when you want the recording window to follow the movement of your mouse pointer across the screen.

Panning helps you capture events across a large screen even when the recording window is smaller than the size of the

screen.

The following panning options are available in Adobe Captivate:

Automatic Panning The recording window automatically moves along with the pointer whenever you move the mouse

during recording.

Manual Panning You must manually move the recording window to the area where the next event takes place. In all

other respects, It is like the automatic panning option.

Specifying recording preferences

In the recording options, click Settings. For a detailed description of the options, see Adobe Captivate help.
