Course Details

Description:

In this intermediate-level course participants will explore how to create responsive Captivate projects that adapt to fit any screen size: mobile, tablet or desktop. Participants will learn how to control themes, styles, and content for various screens sizes, as well as, the benefits of using smart positioning for content when building projects for multiple screen sizes. They will also discover how to modify non-responsive content to adapt to a responsive design and how to test responsive projects.

Bringing samples of the kinds of projects that you’d like to be able to do is helpful but not required. We also recommend that you have the software installed before starting the class.
