Captivate eLearning Challenge #003 – Building A Better Button
I am currently a provider of technical training and support in the electronic manufacturing industry. My prior training and work experience as a teacher, network administrator, web design, and instructional design make me well prepared to design it, develop it, and deliver it. I am a father of five, a US Army veteran, and I enjoy playing the guitar as well as performing in local community theater.

Buttons (aka – click me to do something)

These things are really popular in eLearning courses. I want to encourage you for this challenge to push past the simple circle, rectangle, or image in a smartShape style of button. Bring your buttons to life!

As an example – in the last challenge – (which was not about buttons) – I crafted a button to look like a light switch that flipped up and down. See it here.  (You will need to insert all the plugs to see it work.)

So – take a moment and craft a button or two – it does not matter what actions the buttons call and any theme is fair game. Just make them behave a little different, fit your project theme, and take them to the next level.

I see no need to pick a winner for this one. Let’s just get lots of ideas on the table – no stress, no judging – just let the creative juices flow and share with your Captivate family some of your amazing ideas.

We can simply create a new challenge for February 1st. That will give us all a couple weeks to come up with something cool to share.

I look forward to seeing the kind of buttons you come up with for this challenge.

See my project here.

I built an electronic representation of a board game and designed the gaming pieces as buttons, to cycle them through different states.

Corrected a typo, and now it’s back in the moderation queue, and thus not accessible at the moment. Will put a note in here when it’s back up.
