Mobile devices are becoming more relevant to the design of e-Leaning projects, which has given rise to a new branch of e-Learning called m-Learning. Adobe Captivate 7 offers the required tools to make the transition to m-Learning.

In this course, you will create three m-Learning projects using Adobe Captivate 7, Adobe Edge Animate, and Phone Gap. You will create a mobile-friendly interactive software demonstration, a SCORM-compliant mobile-friendly quiz, and a high-definition screencast that will be uploaded to YouTube.
