Silver linings

In the week or so since my last post, I've come to see the silver lining in losing my data. In searching for support on the product, to see if there was any way to repair a damaged file, I discovered that Captivate 4 was out. So when I was working with Dwight to see if we could pull anything with the data recovery software, I asked if we were going to be upgrading to 4. The answer was the affirmative.

So I downloaded the newest version and have been using it to recreate the lost tutorial. And it has some really nice upgrades and features. I think this version will be better than the one I lost. What I really like is that there's a way for them to input their name at the beginning of the tutorial and once they have successfully completed the tutorial, it will generate a certificate of completion with their name, the name of the tutorial, and the date on it for them to print. I am absolutely thrilled with this ability and can't wait to see how it works in practice.

And now, back to creating those lost slides.
