Differences between the new Captivate and the original Captivate

The new version of Captivate is updated to support modern web browsers, allowing you to create courses that can be used on mobile, tablet, and desktop computers through responsive design. The new Captivate also includes new ways to interact with video content, and to create software simulations. Both Captivate Classic and the new Captivate are useful for creating training content, the newer version is more suited for training where the layout needs to change based upon the type of device being used by the learner that is consuming the training content. If you have a subscription to the Captivate you can learn either the newest version or the legacy Captivate Classic, as the subscription includes access to both versions of the app. This class teaches the newest version of Captivate.
