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 […]

Easy Way to Create a Custom Text Caption Style in Adobe Captivate

Easy Way to Create a Custom Text Caption Style in Adobe Captivate

Short Cut (Backspace key) takes user to start of presentation.

I have a shortcut assigned to a clickbox (backspace key) to clear the entry that is in the field in order for user to enter a new word.  When the user hits their backspace key, it takes them back to the beginning of the project instead of clearing the entry in the text box.   Any idea how I can get the backspace key to function as I need?

HOWEVER….as soon as they click out of the text box (Anywhere on the sim) and go back in to try again, the box seems to be disabled i.e. they can no longer […]

When just one hotspot is set to be required to be […]

Event slide video moves to next slide when pausing the actual video playback

Hello Paul, I have a problem with event slide videos.  I used the settings you told me in the previous answer -‘ Display video for rest of slide’ and ‘Pause slide till end of video’ and removed all other pause actions. This works absolutely fine,  the video is played in full screen mode and it automatically moves to the next slide. The additional problem I have is that when I pause the event video at any point during playback, (it could […]
