Adobe Captivate 7: The Essentials

Data Files (Captivate Project Assets)

You’re probably chomping at the bit, ready to dive into Captivate and begin creating

eLearning lessons. Not so fast... do you have some sample projects to work with?

What about graphics? Do you have some sound effects to play with? No? No worries.

I’ve got everything you need—I call them data files—and they can be downloaded

from the Iconlogic website for free.

Windows users: Work through the following activity. (Mac users, skip this activity

and move on to page xi.)

Student Activity: Download the Windows Data Files

1. Download the student data files necessary to complete the lessons presented in

this book.

 start a web browser and visit the following web address:

http://www.iconlogic.com/pc

 click the Captivate 7: The Essentials link

On most web browsers, a dialog box appears asking if you want to Save, Run or

Open the file. The goal is to save the file to your computer. It doesn’t matter

where you save the file, provided you can find it in a moment to execute it.

2. Save the file to your computer. After the file downloads, close the web browser.

3. Extract the data files.

 find the Captivate7Data file you just downloaded to your computer

 double-click the file to execute it (even though the file is an EXE file, it’s not a

program; rather it’s an archive containing zipped data files)

 confirm C:\ appears in the Unzip to Folder area (only change the Unzip to

folder if you are prohibited from installing assets directly to your C drive)

 click the Unzip button

You will be notified that more than 100 files were unzipped.

 click the OK button and then click the Close button

The data files have been installed on your hard drive (within a folder named

Captivate6Data). As you move through the lessons in this book, you will be

working with these files. You skip the next activity an turn to page xii.
