Adobe Captivate 6 Vs Articulate Storyline
Adobe Captivate 6 Vs Articulate Storyline
Apparently, two are the most popular authoring tools creating a buzz in the market right now: Adobe Captivate 6 and Articulate Storyline. Let's see their special features and the way they might fit your needs.
Adobe Captivate 6
If you are looking for a powerful, precise, full of features and options tool, then Captivate 6 is your weapon and here is mainly why:
- Professional output
- Well established interface
- Crystal clear sound
- Advanced close captioning system
- Mature screen capture
- Clear cut editing
- Tuning capability
- Tracking and reporting options
- Creation of fully interactive courses
- Widget integration capability
It's obvious that all these features offer users the chance to create unique presentations and courses. Nevertheless, it's always good to remember that a multi-feature software program usually has a substantial learning curve. So if your team is not experienced and you are looking to cover your needs fast, then Captivate 6 might not be the right option for you.

Articulate Storyline
Articulate The-Game-Changer Storyline is also a powerful tool that will help even an inexperienced team build a dynamic and interactive content, with incredible simulations, screen recordings, quizzes, assessments, drag-and-drop options and much more. Let's see some of its most influential features:
- Intuitive interface
- Incredible ease of use
- Excellent existing material incorporation
- Fast object and task recognition for easy caption editing
- Helpful and well experienced technical support
- Easy maintenance, post-implementation
- Excellent mobile/html5 and CSS3 support
- Simple audio-animation synchronization
- Good screen-capture and easy movies creation
In short, if you are looking for a user-friendly software with a variety of capabilities that will do your job quickly and efficiently, then Storyline is your option. However, bear in mind that Storyline is based on PowerPoint. For some people this would make their task much easier, but for others this is too simplistic and flat.

To Captivate 6 or Storyline?
Is that the real question? Sit down with your team and discuss about your needs, expertise, time and budget restrictions. Download the trial versions of both programs to experience each one up close. Then, evaluate them based on the criteria you developed and compare the results. Bear in mind that Captivate is less expensive than Articulate, but requires practice and time to get the hang of it, while Articulate is much more expensive, yet fairly easy to use even by rookies.
Last but not least, remember that there are plenty of fish in the sea, with ZebraZapps, Easygenerator, QuickLessons, and Lectora being some of them!
- eLearning professionals are rapidly adopting Easygenerator, an online free authoring tool. Easygenerator is a Windows application that stores all content in the cloud, securely on their webservers. Part of the free edition includes hosting, updates, upgrades, and maintenance.
- ZebraZapps is a revolutionary cloud-based authoring and publishing platform created by Allen Interactions. ZebraZapps allows developers and non-programmers alike to create rich, interactive applications easily and quickly, as well as share, publish, and sell objects or entire applications.
- QuickLessons a collaborative platform to create e-Learning courses. Create online courses using their libraries of templates, animated characters, interactive games and adding your content including PowerPoint Presentations.
- Lectora has powerful capabilities, a redesigned user interface, smooth simplicity, a great technical support team and together with it you will get FlyPaper (Flash interaction builder), Camtasia (screen recording, simulations, etc.), and SnagIt (screen capture, annotation, etc.). All these tools, combined with Lectora's flexibility, will give you the chance to create whatever you want. So weigh all your options to make an informed decision.

CHICAGO, IL- November 7, 2013 - Job hunters are in luck during this year's holiday season-- retailers and package delivery services are expected to increase the number of temporary and seasonal workers they hire. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) offers tips on how to find a worthwhile seasonal job.
CHICAGO, IL – October 24, 2013 – Con artists are now posing as police officers, members of the Sheriff's Office and even FBI officers. These people call consumers and spoof the caller ID to show a law enforcement office's phone number. The con artist tells the consumer that he or she must pay a fine in order to avoid criminal charges or must immediately pay money owed by a loan. Like most types of fraud, con artists require payments to be made by a prepaid debit card or money order, not a credit card. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns consumers to avoid making a payment to these people and to call the local police department if they ever receive one of these calls.
Phishing emails pretend to be BBB complaints
CHICAGO, IL- August 29, 2013 – Facebook, with over one billion users, not only is one of the most popular social media platforms, but also offers scammers plenty of opportunities to take advantage of its users. Since the number of Facebook users are increasing, the number of scams are as well. Through Facebook phishing, scammers are acquiring consumers' usernames, passwords, credit card details and other personal information. These phishing scams occur when users receive phishing links via private inbox, chat messages or Timeline posts. Once the Facebook user clicks on the link, private information is taken by the scammer.

Celebrities are all the rage these days. And while searching for your favorite celeb on the Internet may be your favorite pastime, it could also give you a virus-ridden computer.

No race to the altar here!
Jessica Simpson's ex-hubby, Nick Lachey, remarried in July, but the "Fashion Star" mentor is in no rush to say "I do" to fiance Eric Johnson. Although it's been more than 10 months since Johnson, 32, proposed, insiders tell the new Us Weekly that all wedding plans have been put on hold.
PHOTOS: Jessica and Eric's cutest moments
"Everything is up in the air," a source tells Us. "She can't figure out what kind of day she wants. Some days she wants a big wedding in Hawaii, then other days she wants something closer to home."
But some of the 30-year-old singer's friends fear the delay is due to more than just venue indecision. "She was so gung ho about planning their wedding, and now she's gone dark," says a pal. "She won't commit to a date."

Barack's Plan: Making things Worse
Another McCain / Palin ad running in swing states, including our own.
Another McCain / Palin ad running in swing states, including our own.
This story is of particular interest to me, as I am both a scout parent (Scraps is a First Class scout), and a troop committee member/mentor.
It looks like the Boy Scouts Cradle of Liberty Chapter has the city back in it's sights.
A judge has ruled that the lawsuit brought against the city does have Constitutional merit on First Amendment issues.
The lawsuit was filed in Federal court this past May by Cradle of Liberty (COL), just prior to the city ordering the scouting organization to vacate the building that the scouts built and gave to the city, in return for rent of $1.00 a year.
The city, in it's infinite wisdom, decided that because the boy scouts do not permit openly gay people in leadership positions, they have violated the city's Fair Practices Ordinance. the outcome? Revoke the trust agreement and charge the COL full market value rent on a building that the Scouts GAVE TO THE CITY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!
Egregious, no?
The City of Philadelphia is going to lose this case. Why? Because, Nutter cut funding to youth programs paid for by tax dollars. The scouts take no monies from the city to run their organization. By taking the headquarters, and/or charging an outrageous amount of rent to the COL, the city is effectively taking non-tax dollars away from a youth program that works. It would be in their best interests to let it go and continue their agreement with the COL as if nothing has happened.
As far as the COL being solely discriminatory? The City gives the Daughters of the American Revolution (a society that excludes those who cannot trace their lineage to the Revolutionary war) cheap rent for two Fairmount Park buildings to use as their headquarters. In the grand scheme of things, this, too is discrimination.
Click on the link below to read the latest from the Philadelphia Daily News on this developing story:
Court advances Boy Scouts suit against the city
Cross posted on writemarsh!
The Democrats allowed the bill to fail. They did not want to bear the electoral consquences of it, so they attempted to blame the GOP. All fine and dandy as far I am concerned, becuase whether Pelosi's attempt to rewrite history works or not, the GOP still comes out better. Further evidence that the Demorats didn't want this to pass is that they were telling the media before the bailout failed that it would not reach the Senate until Wednesday at the earliest. If the Democrats had wanted the legislation, they would convened on the weekend and passed it then.
I am hearing that the House is adjourning until Thursday. This means it is very possible there will be no bailout, at least for the next several months. There are virgins to be sacrificed on Wall Street, and it is likely that there will be several more high-profile failures over the next two weeks. The bright side is that the bloodshed will last only about two weeks absent any government intervention, and many analysts believe that the market could recover to current levels by mid-December. I would expect the Dow to have similar losses for the next week or so, and it should hopefully end at about 7500 or 8000.
There is a chance for McCain here. With the failure of the bipartisan effort, there is now a chance that the Democrats will try to force through legislation that has all of the goodies of last week. The House GOP will not yield on pressure, as seen today. If Bush signs that bill, as I expect him to, McCain should come out in opposition to it. This would allow him to run against everyone in Washington and I believe he would get an immediate bump in the polls. I personally don't think the Democrats will take that chance.
A reader writes to Jay Nordlinger on NRO's The Corner:
Just thought I'd send some thoughts from small-business America. My husband's business is a canary in the coalmine. When tax policies are favorable to business, he hires more guys, buys more goods, etc. When he is taxed more heavily, he fires people, doesn't buy anything new, etc. Well, duh. So, at the mere thought of a President Obama, he has paid off his debt, canceled new spending, and jotted a list of whom to "let go."
The first of the guys will get the news tomorrow. And these are not minimum-wage earners. These are "rich" guys, making between $200,000 and $250,000 a year.
My husband will make sure that we're okay, money-wise, but he won't give himself a paycheck that will just be sent to Washington. He'll make sure that he's not in "rich guy" tax territory. So, he will not spend his money, not show a profit, and scale his workforce down to the bare minimum.
Multiply this scenario across the country and you'll see the Obama effect: unemployment, recession, etc. No business owner will vote for this man, but many a "middle-class worker" will vote himself out of a job. Sad the Republican can't articulate this.
A must-watch. Every American should see this video:
RNC, make an ad out of this. NOW.
Here's how Pa legislators voted:
Robert Brady, Michael Doyle, Chaka Fattah, Paul Kanjorski, Patrick Murphy, John Murtha, John Peterson, Allyson Schwartz, Joe Sestak
Jason Altmire, Christopher Carney, Charles Dent, Philip English, Jim Gerlach, Tim Holden, Tim Murphy, Joe Pitts, Todd Platts, Bill Shuster
Republicans in bold.
Obama is moving out to a big lead in most polls and the real numbers are probably even worse for McCain than the polls show. The reason — the polls don't include enough Obama supporters. The Mystery Pollster (Mark Blumenthal) explains why here.
It looks as though it's gonna be a long, hard, mean four years wandering in the wilderness.
Ok, the bailout is going to go through. I still think this will have negative long term consequences. The part that is especially troubling to me is the reasoning behind the bailout – not even the arguments about CEO pay or anything like that. The statements that are troubling to me are statements about how we need to save our credit system.
Here's the most recent example – Rich Galen posted the following statement in his most recent Mullings:
I have two Amex cards – one for business use one for personal – a Visa ATM card and a MasterCard. Four. Which, according to an article in the San Jose Mercury News is the number the average American has in his or her wallet.
In fact, there are just short of a BILLION Visa, MasterCard and American Express cards in circulation in the US representing a total debt a little shy of a TRILLION dollars.
Credit cards have been the fuel behind the extraordinary growth in the US economy which has been largely based upon consumer spending.
I'm all for economic growth. I fully embrace the free market system – which is why I think this bailout is a bad deal.
My problem is this – have we allowed ourselves to grow the economy on money that was not there? This statement is troubling to me because what it tells me is that the only way our economy can grow is by keeping people in debt. How is that a good thing?
Debt can be good – it's how we "buy" our homes because who has a couple hundred thousand dollars laying around to actually buy a home. I'm not against credit. I'm against the mentality that says gee I don't have the $4 for a cup of coffee, I'll just put it on a credit card. The $4 cup of coffee turns out to be a $20 cup of coffee after you finally pay it off. There is no self-restraint for long term gratificition. It's all short term gratification and that is very dangerous. If we are all short term in our thinking about wants and needs, then we are in big trouble. A $700 billion bailout won't solve the problem – it will make it worse because it will enable people to continue to live beyond their means, stay in crushing debt, and suffer the consequences of that debt.

Orange County residents are now required to provide proof of eligibility at the Orange County Tax-Assessor Collector's office in order to obtain farm license plates which have a reduced registration fee.
Effective September 1, 2013, an application for farm license plates, renewal of existing farm license plates, and application for excess weight permits for farm motor vehicles, trailers, and semitrailers requires the applicant to present proof of a Texas Agricultural and Timber Exemption Registration Number.
Proof of the Texas Agricultural and Timber Exemption Registration Number may consist of:
• The permit issued by the Comptroller;
• A copy of the permit issued by the Comptroller; or
• Verification through the Comptroller's website
It is important for Orange County residents to know that farm vehicles are only eligible for the reduced fee if they are used for specific purposes, including:
• Transporting the registrant's own poultry, dairy, livestock or farm products to another location for sale or processing
• Transporting farm or ranch workers to or from their place of employment
• Transporting farm supplies or equipment from place of purchase or storage to the farm or ranch
• Transporting the owner or owner's family to church, school, medical appointments, equine activities or other trips for home or family necessities
Applicants for farm plates are required to sign a statement that explains the complete operation restrictions.
The State Comptroller began issuing Agriculture and Timber Registration Numbers in January 2012. Under the TxDMV's new rule, the Ag/Timber card used for proof of registration must be current, legible, contain a registration number and be in the name of the person or company in which the vehicle will be registered.
