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 […]

Screen settings problem with recording software demonstration

Issues with software demonstration and external monitors attached to my laptop

Captivate & Video Creation

I’ve used Captivate for about a decade. Like most instructional designers, I use Captivate primarily for interactive modules. More specifically, I generally produce courses focused on software training. My content strives to represent simulated software fluidly and accurately, and Captivate does a great job of handling the interactivity, variables, and advanced actions I need to create good products. I’ve also used Captivate to record videos. For about two years, I exclusively used Captivate to produce short videos for software demos. […]

Interactive Videos – Non Vimeo/YouTube

Does anyone know if you can link videos that are not on Vimeo or YouTube (i.e. Microsoft Azure, Stream, etc) as an Interactive Video?  It looks like the Interactive Video only gives Vimeo and YouTube as options.  Has anyone linked anything not on one of those platforms?

Forced navigation on a single slide

The slide I am trying to create has a flow chart. On the flow chart, a few of the boxes (steps) have been created as buttons. When the user clicks the button, I want it to change to a ‘visited’ state and play an audio clip. I have accomplished this but I want my Next button to appear once all of the steps have been clicked and listened to. I can get the slide to work as expected except for […]

Retake Quiz button does not appear after fail

What could be the reason why the retake button would not appear for a learner after failing the quiz? When I test the very same version of the course in the LMS, the retake button appears as it should, but I have a user who I verified by proxy that it does not appear for him. Could there be a bug that causes this to break?

Points?

I am interested in earning points for free subscription to Captivate. Where can I find information about earning points?

[Recording] Using education as a customer marketing strategy

It is easier to grow existing customer relationships than build new ones. As organizations move towards cloud-based, always-on, and subscription-driven models, creating an enriching and empowering experience becomes more paramount than ever. As customer marketing grows in importance – creating high retention rates, advocates, and communities – education becomes a critical part of designing holistic marketing programs. Forrester reports 39% of customer marketers found this to be a challenge. Customer education bridges this gap by creating active engagements, increasing customer satisfaction, […]
