What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

Greetings all. I am always looking for resources and things to learn from.  I have read some articles recommending books and unfortunately some that seem really interesting I haven’t been able to find, but I will continue to look. Thought I would pose the question here. What are some good resources that you recommend? They don’t have to specifically be direct to eLearning or Instructional Design, but they obviously can. But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Captivate version issues (HELP)

I have recently had our IT department re-install Captivate, it went from version 11.8.1.219 (2019) to version 11.8.2.254 and is called Captivate classic? The UI is slightly different (not too much of an issue) but I am unable to preview in HTML with any file created, new or old? We have tried reverting to 11.5.5 but in this case I am unable to open any files previously created (known problem). My colleagues can open my files on their machines running […]

PowerPoint vs. All-new Adobe Captivate

For decades eLearning developers have often turned to Microsoft PowerPoint to facilitate the creation of both slides to supplement a live face to face or virtual lecture, and to serve as the base for an online eLearning course.  The latest release of Adobe Captivate both supports and doesn’t support the import of PowerPoint. (Adobe has released two versions of Captivate (one called Captivate Classic, and the other called the All-New Adobe Captivate.) Powerpoint import is supported in Captivate Classic, and […]

Trouble Publishing Project for Web

I am trying to upload Captivate HTML5 files to our company LMS (Incite) with no luck. It publishes fine, uploads fine, but when actually accessing it, it just stays on a loading screen, or what comes up is missing components, its moved and distorted etc. What would cause this? Is it a publish setting I need to adjust? Or is it the LMS? (was assured its Captivate compatible)

Captivate 12 – Carousel Widget bug?

Hello, I am running into an issue with the Carousel widget. For one, every title in this widget is underlined but none of the other widget titles are underlined. Due to the pre-set nature of everything in Captivate 12, I cannot turn the underline off. This is annoying, because this one widget’s title looks different from all the other ones! As a workaround I just turned the title off and added a new text block as the title, but I […]

Timing the ‘Next Page’ button

I have converted PPT slides with voice over.  I don’t want the next slide button to appear until close to the end of the audio.  I tried setting timing for that button to ‘Appear After’ and set the time close to the length of the audio playback.  I have it selected to display for Rest of Slide. One or two slides this worked for but not on the vast majority.  How can I accomplish my goal?  Do I need to […]
