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 […]

Help and Clarification on Buttons, Variables, and Advanced Actions

Just when I think I have my head wrapped around buttons with variables and advanced actions, something “breaks” in my project. The project is not quizzed, it’s an informational presentation. The buttons are meant to provide some interaction with the user. The only requirement is that the user completes the presentation. I have several slides with buttons (3 to 6), that when clicked will display content related to the button.   The variables are assigned a value of zero (var_factor1, var_factor2 […]

Smoke Free – Branching Comic

In this lesson I used a hand drawn look to accomplish a comic feel for our users. I used a branching scenario to put them into the conversation and added feedback that was clear and fun. The artwork was a hand drawn look from real places that are familiar to the audience. Adding a fun spin to a serious topic broke down walls for our learners and allowed us to address difficult conversations. I would love to hear your feedback from this lesson!

Add a Play Pause button to your slide video!

If you are like me. You probably don’t want to use the default playback controls built into Captivate. Personally I don’t like to use them for videos because I want people to watch the video and not scrub ahead. We live in a fast passed environment and if we can find shortcuts we take them! I also wanted to give my learners a way to pause the video to take notes, answer questions if someone walked up and interrupts their […]
