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 […]

Multiple Failure messages for Drag&Drop KC slide

Intro This article is written as an answer to a question on the forums: Drag&Drop with Advanced Action For quiz slides it is possible to show different Failure messages based on the attempt number. That functionality is not available for Drag&Drop slides. As you can read in the thread, another user posted a solution using the Object actions which are executed after each drag action.  I posted some comments about the limitations of that solution. In this article the described solution is […]

Show button after all layered multi-state objects are shown

Hi! I’m working on a project where I have a multi-state object  – a character – that has 4 states, none of which show at the same time on the screen, one shows, your click and the next state is shown and so on. I’d like to hide the continue button on this slide until all of the states are seen, but I can’t figure out how to attach an Advanced Action to just a specific state, and not the […]

Drag and Drop correct answers and attempts

Hello all! I am creating a Drag and Drop as part of a knowledge check.  I have three locations and three sources. Each source has one correct drop location. And I have created three custom variables, one for each drop combination.  I am trying to change the value of a variable when a source is dropped on a drop location so I can check those variables upon submission (not auto submitted) to provide the appropriate feedback. I am trying to […]

Drag and Drop: One Target, Multiple correct answers, A few incorrect

Hi I have read a few posts and watched youtube videos but nothing is quite like what I am trying to do here because I have one target and multiple correct answers with a few incorrect.  I am unsure of how to format the two incorrect (use special handlings and remeber to modify important data).  How can I get these to bounce back if dragged? or Display an incorrect answer response? I hope someone helps me out because as usual […]

Just received a licence for Captivate – so excited!

Hi all. Today is an exciting day. I have just received a licence to work with Captivate. It has been a while since I have been able to use the software and I have not touched the most recent version before now.

I am looking forward to getting into this more and hopefully developing some projects to share on the community. […]

The features and benefits of an LXP

One of the biggest challenges that learning and development administrators face is engaging employees in training. The growing market for learning experience platforms – or LXPs – is an exciting opportunity to address this problem. LXPs are reinventing how workers gain new skills and receive training by incorporating features from the most popular platforms online. They deliver a wide range of content in a personalized manner, not unlike Netflix, with social features to boot. As a result, LXPs can greatly […]

LMS v. LXP: What’s right for you?

For better or worse, the technology stack in learning & development has become increasingly complex over the years. The reason is fundamentally good: There are more ways than ever to design, deliver and track L&D programs. But it has also made the decision of which technology to invest in more complicated than ever. One basic question L&D leaders must confront is whether to invest in learning management systems (LMS) or learning experience platforms (LXP) – or both. To make that […]
