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 […]

[Free Webinar!] Structured for Success: Organizing a Global Training Team & Program

When you’re an instructor, it’s important not to play favorites.  But if I had to “theoretically” pick a favorite class topic, L&D team and program management would definitely make the short list. If you manage or direct a team, count your blessings.  You have more information than the average employee, and you have the ability to determine priorities and assign your team members and budget accordingly.  You have an ability, and therefore a responsibility, to find ways to support your […]

Experimenting with Interactive Video & Overlay Slides

New in Adobe Captivate 2019, overlay slides enable you to add a slide to a specific frame along an interactive video’s Timeline. While the video is playing, when it reaches that frame, it pauses, and the slide appears as an overlay. In this article, I’ll discuss some of the questions which led me to experiment with overlay slides, and the answers I discovered through testing.

Character downloads

When I try to download a character from the ‘Discover’ section of assets. After choosing a character I click the download button and a progress box come up that is blank except for the title and a cancel button. The progress in the asset window show 100% complete but the progress window remains grey. I have to click cancel to dismiss it and the asset is not available. Any thoughts? Tracy

Screen resolution and breakpoints

I have a client who wants us to develop using breakpoints. They have provided five specific measurements. For custom mobile (phone landscape), they have specified 667 x 375. When I published the course to the server and tested it on desktop, tablet, and phone, all of them worked fine – except for phone landscape. The page appeared very large and required considerable scrolling. I checked everything again to be sure, did a Live Preview, and still the same results. I […]

Slide master insertion

I uploaded an exisiting PowerPoint presentation into Captivate so I could turn it in to a computer-based training class. How can I import the slide master in case I want to add additional material to the class?

Skip/Hide, still Use Score Slide

Two tweaks, using a hidden or skipped results slides for customizing: forcing Review status, showing custom Success/Failure slides.

Slide Master Disappears with 4 buttons on slide 1

Twilight Zone moment here: Anytime I add a 4th button interaction on the first slide of my presentation, whether they’re on the Slide Master or on the slide itself, the Slide Master elements do not load when I Preview in Browser. (Captivate 10.0.0.192). 3 buttons, I’m good to go… add the fourth, and I have a white space where my slide master elements should be. If that 4th button doesn’t appear until the 2nd slide or later, everything works fine. […]
