Recently, in our house, we celebrated several birthdays. Celebrations like birthdays, Christmas, Hanukkah, Mother’s Day, Easter, and so forth always seem to involve some form of gift for others. Well, when it comes to designing your quizzes in Captivate, you can also give yourself a gift. The gift of GIFT files. GIFT stands for General Import Format Technology and is a format by which you can create quiz question outside of Captivate and then import them directly into your eLearning.
GIFT files can be extremely helpful in working with Subject Matter Experts and other team members who may not have access to Captivate, but still could be creating questions for you. In the past, you may have asked them to submit a series of questions over email or intranet, formatted as a Word document or a PDF file and then you’d have to manually transfer those to Captivate–a tedious, time-consuming process.
