Enterprise LMS with Adobe Captivate Prime: Design and develop world-class learning experiences for your employees, partners, and customers

This book was very easy to follow and a great resource. It organizes the materials in how-to steps that even a novice user can follow. I found the book well written and easy to navigate. My own con is the shear size, but can one really complain about having so much information at the ready? This book is a must if you use Adobe Captivate Prime!

I've been using Learning Management Systems for many years and almost all of them required a lot of patience to learn and use. A couple of years ago, I started learning Captivate Prime when one of my clients decided to start using it as their LMS. I wish I had had this guide then! Though through long experience in the eLearning field I was able to figure out what I needed to do to keep my client happy, I could have saved myself so much time and frustration if I had had this manual on my desk at the time.The author had done a wonderful job making Prime transparent and easy to use, even for someone who has never worked with a Learning Management System before. The book is divided into four main sections comprising sixteen chapters, all clearly laid out and written. It's easy to find answers to questions you may have.However, this isn't just a reference manual. It is also a guide to every aspect you need to know to become a master at using Captivate Prime.In Section 1, after an important Introduction, you are shown how to upload and manage your course content and create skills and courses, the whole point of using Prime.Section 2 focuses on managing users and enrolling learners to different courses. It also contains a very important chapter on understanding the Learner experience. If you're managing Prime courses and don't have a good idea of what the learner will encounter, you may never realize how to improve that experience. The Instructor role is also explored. I appreciate how clearly delineated the instructor role is from the learner experience, each with its own chapter. Two often, manuals try to combine those two ideas into one chapter, which can be confusing. The author in this case has separated the roles so that they can be clearly understood. You also learn how to work with feedback from the courses, automatically generated when learners take those courses, as well as ratings that users may assign to their learning experience. Finally, you will learn how to generate useful reports, both those that are built in as defaults as those you create yourself.Section 3 is all about how to make the learner experience even better, with great tips on how to assign badges and points, setting up leaderboards, and tying courses into social learning options, such as discussion boards. You'll learn how the Prime mobile app works too. It finishes with a chapter on AI-powered learner recommendations, in which you can have Prime match learners to courses based on skills required to learn, a cool feature that certainly can help learners and administrators avoid missteps.The last section is all about the high levels of administering Prime. You'll see how to work with catalogs and peer accounts, focus on messages and announcements, and how to integrate Prime with other systems, a very important aspect of any enterprise-level learning initiative.This is a big manual, in part because the author uses lots of white space for readability and screenshots to illustrate points. You'll see lots of step-by-step lists on how to accomplish tasks. Each chapter starts with technical requirements you need and ends with a nice summary of what was covered. All these crucial elements make it easy to peruse this guide, learn every aspect of working with Prime, and find answers to your questions.As I wrote earlier, I wish I had had this when I first started using Prime. It would have made my life a lot easier and would have saved me a lot of time and money!

This book was very easy to follow and access how-to steps in a very organized manner it's a great resource to have all around.It was so simple to access the information needed when it is needed. This book is a must if you use Adobe Captivate and LMS Systems.

Damien has been in the eLearning industry for a considerable time - and his book navigates the world of enterprise Learning in its full essence. Enterprise Learning is a challenging subject - more so because of the constantly changing dynamics (more so post Covid-19) that has engulfed the world. With more people working from home and innovative working models emerging across enterprises (workations, work from anywhere, flexible timings, permanent telecommute), it becomes important to understand and invest in the right technology. This is where choosing the right LMS becomes a crucial factor. It is no longer just crucial to invest in the technology but make optimum use of its features such as gamification, social learning, tracking and learning delivery and most importantly, making the LMS work with other tools that abound in the enterprise for a single view of how learning is impacting the overall business performance. Damien's book covers all of these in meticulous detail and is an enjoyable read for both the seasoned L&D professional as well as someone venturing into the field for the first time.
