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 […]

Trouble Opening a Project

I am just starting using Captivate. What are some of the best YouTube videos to watch. I should specify that I am a teacher and I am more interested in creating learning tools for my students. So gamification, escape room style learning materials.

Play and Pause buttons only work once

I have created custom Play and Pause buttons which I’ve included on the Master Slide so that they exist on every slide in the project. When I preview the project, the Play and Pause buttons only work when I click them one time. If I press Pause or Play a second time (on the same slide), they don’t work. What did I do wrong?

Quiz Submit button strange action with smaller project size

Captivate 2019 (11.8.0.586). Original project size was 1280 x 720 and the quiz slides work fine, specifically the SUBMIT button. Had to update the project but now the project is 1024 x 768 (any smaller size than original). Now with the random quiz slides, the SUBMIT button jumps with another button appearing next to the original. See attached video. The button works only on the larger 1280 x 720 project size. Has anyone encountered this and know the cause and […]
