Adobe Captivate 2 Script Writing and Production Guide
Author: Kevin A. Siegel

What This Book Is, and Isn't I've been teaching Adobe Captivate for years. At the end of a two-day class, my students have all the skills they need to create highly interactive computer-based training simulations (CBTs) using Captivate. Some time ago a student, just prior to leaving class the last day, asked how she could focus her... more » writing skills and create clean, step-by-step documentation she could use for her Captivate storyboards. She said she had searched and searched and could not find a class designed specifically for creating step-by-step documentation. I had another student ask me if I had a style guide he could borrow so that he could create a corporate style guide to be used for all of their Captivate CBTs. Based on those conversations, I created this book. Part 1 (page 1) of the book is designed to help you focus your writing skills and allow you to create concise step-by-step documentation. Part 2 (page 35) of this book is the Style Guide and Process document I created for use at IconLogic. Please keep in mind that this 70-page workbook will not magically turn you into a writer, let alone a script writer. You'll need lots of hands-on experience and additional training before that happens. Consider this book to be a "baby-step" book. I've written this book as a way to get your storyboards and scripts off on the right foot. Also keep in mind that the Style Guide I present in Part 2 does not teach you Captivate. I ve got a book, "Essentials of Adobe Captivate 2," that will do that. Instead, that section of the book is simply designed to offer the techniques and processes we use every day to create CBTs with Captivate. Here is what you will learn: Part 1: Script Writing Overview of the Script Writing and Development Process | Is Ignorance a Bad Thing for a Writer? | Determine Your Audience | The Value of a Subject Matter Expert | Writing Styles and Tools of the Trade | Hard-News Writing | Feature Writing | Technical and Script Writing | Tools of the Trade | The Rules for Writing | Grammar, Libel and Punctuation | Avoid Plagiarism | Active vs. Passive Voice | Death to Deadwood | Better Hungry Than Too Full or Wordy | Writing Narratives | Writing Step-By-Step Procedures | Sample Script Part 2: Production & Style Guide The CBT Development Process | Why Do You Need a Style Guide? | Captivate Preferences and Recording Settings | Application Preferences | Recording Options | Windows XP Setup | Display Properties | The Recording Phase | Template Usage | Production Phase | Version Control | The Cleanup Process | Text Captions | Text Caption Settings | Object Settings | Buttons | Click Boxes | Reporting | Failure Captions for Click Boxes | Text Entry Boxes | Failure Captions for Text Entry Boxes | Project Preferences | Start and End | Preferences | Background Audio | Project Skin | Working With Audio Files | Publishing Projects | Audio Scripts | LMS Uploading | Quiz Manager | The Manifest File | Publishing the Content Package (SCO) | Uploading SCOs to the LMS
