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 […]

What is the ideal slide dimensions for uploading to Litmos?

1280 x 720 is too large (content overfills screen so viewer cannot see slide without scrolling up/down to view top and bottom of slide) 1024 x 627 is too small (content only fills half of screen, while the rest is whitespace)

drag and drop not working

We have three consecutive slides of drag and drop in a large mandatory module that have stopped working on our LMS. What happens is that it flicks through the first two slides not even giving you enough time to do the drag and drop exercise. You then land on the last page of the drag and drop which allows you to do the exercise on that last slide. If you get it right it will allow you to continue forward. […]

Problem with installing NeoSpeech Plugin on Windows 11

Can Adobe produce an updated version of the NeoSpeech which is compatible on Win 11? I just installed Adobe Captivate and wanted to try out the different voices for text to speech.

However, had checked that my Chrome & Edge browsers are all updated to latest versions. […]

Export a Captivate Project into a Google document rather than WORD

My organization is switching from MS Suites to Google Workspace.  Very soon we won’t have access to PPT, or WORD.  We often need to download a Captivate Project into a WORD document for legal reasons using the Handouts option.  I need help to find out how we can use the Print option to create a PDF without going through WORD.  Captivate 2019 currently does not provide an option to create the PDF, it wants to download into a WORD doc.  […]
