Rehearsals
As mentioned in the Preface (page 4), the Write It phase, or script development
phase, is the most important and difficult part of the eLearning development process.
After the Write It phase, you should rehearse the script to ensure that the script is
accurate and every click you are expected to make during the recording process
works as written.
Here’s the scenario for a series of recordings you are about to create: you have been
hired to create an eLearning course that teaches new employees at your company
how to use Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Macintosh). One of the lessons you
plan to record using Captivate includes how to change the page orientation with
Notepad or TextEdit.
Here is a sample script showing step-by-step instructions you might create or receive
from a Subject Matter Expert (SME). You are expected to perform each step below in
either Notepad or TextEdit.
Dear Captivate developer, using either Notepad or TextEdit,
record the process of changing the Page Orientation from
Portrait to Landscape, and then back again (from Landscape to
Portrait). Create the recording using a capture size of
800x600. Thanks. Your pal, the Subject Matter Expert.
1. Click the File menu.
2. Click the Page Setup menu item.
3. Click the Landscape orientation button.
4. Click the OK button.
5. Click the File menu.
6. Click the Page Setup menu item.
7. Click the Portrait orientation button.
8. Click the OK button.
9. Stop the recording process.
The script sounds simple. However, you will not know what kind of trouble you are
going to get into unless you step through the script prior to recording the process in
Captivate. Let’s run a rehearsal, just as if you were a big-time movie director and you
are in charge of a blockbuster movie.
Places everyone... and quiet on the set...
