Adobe Macromedia Captivate (formerly RoboDemo)

Adobe Captivate is the eLearning and screen capture product originally named RoboDemo. You don't need to be a Flash guru to use the tool, nor do you need to hire outside help to create engaging and informative simulations and tutorials. With the latest release of Captivate, Adobe has added quite a few new features, keeping the interface and function user-friendly and easy to learn.

One of the greatest aspects of Captivate is its ease of use. Subject matter experts can focus on the content of their lessons without having to spend a lot of time learning a new tool or technology. The opening screen provides a simple menu that allows you to get started recording your tutorial, or read through some simple and cleanly written documentation before beginning.

Adobe Captivate is a great tool for developing eLearning content. The ability to create software simulations, scenario-based training, branching presentations, and quizzes that integrate with learning management systems put it in a category all its own.
