Short answers, as requested:
- Is it possible to upscale a recorded session to the screen size. e.g. captured with 800*600, played with 1024*768? Same functionality like upscaling a video on youtube ...
YES. You can change the project size after capturing, however, you will likely notice some loss of crispness in the output. The best size to use for capturing is the one that you DO NOT need to alter afterward.
- Is there a pause button? Can i pause the session (as the person who is using the finished module to learn something) and restart at the same point som days later? Even on another computer?
YES and NO. You are referring to bookmarking. Captivate has a couple of options in this area. One is used when NOT using an LMS and the other is only possible when using SCORM and an LMS. If you are publishing your content to SCORM using a Learning Management System, then some LMSs may support being able to resume the content from another PC at a later date. You need to know more about your particular LMS for the full answer.
- I´ve seen multiple choice and dropdown. Are there any other types of question directly implemented in captivate? Like fill-in-the-blank text or drag & drop with pictures? Or anything else?
YES. There are seven different scorable quiz question types, plus non-scorable Likert questions, and you can also randomise questions via quiz pools. Drag and drop question slides are available via widgets from Infosemantics. Captivate 6.1 and 7, also have drag and drop capability.
- What about accessibility? anything possible with the mouse also possible by shortcuts with the keyboard? Especially forward, backward, start, stop, pause, tab to the next input, ...
YES and NO. Your question is too broad to answer. Not everything possible with a mouse is replicable with a keyboard because some keystrokes are already taken by the browser, and not all browsers behave the same way. Tabbing has been vastly improved in Cp7.
- Can the design of the controls customizable? We need all buttons with a corporate design ...
It depends on your definition of "buttons" and how you want them to look. For example, you can use a graphics editor to create your own image buttons, and Cp6 or Cp7 allows you to fill shape buttons with a graphic. Either of these can be added to slides. If you're talking about branding the playbar buttons, you'll need to pay an ActionScript or Flash guru to build you a custom playbar.
- How detailed are the recordings. Can i see a example for mouse overs and dropdowns somewhere? How much will this increase the file size of the final module?
Download the trial version, install it and play around with the screencapture functionality. You'll soon see what you can and cannot achieve. You can certainly capture mouseovers and dropdown menus in demo mode. Reproducing the behaviour of similar controls in Training or Assessment mode is a bit more involved.
- Is the an (optinal) print button on to print out any single page of the module?
NO. But you can create printable PDFs and link them to each page if you really want this.
