Mobile responsiveness in elearning course authoring. Captivate vs Storyline.

Responsiveness is really important for elearning. If you see Captivate 2019, the fluid boxes have been enhanced even more. The Fluid Boxes can be resized by using a percentage or to the number of pixels. The enhanced fluid boxes auto aligns to devices or browsers. You can use the predefined options as well. The UI and UX is neat because it enables auto align and auto adjust. The number of options for mobile, ipad, desktop etc is more and can be customised to the area too. In tools like storyline, it has just 3 options and it is very limiting in terms of the range of devices used for eLearning.
