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 […]

Object audio failing to execute

Hi there, Recently I have begun adding recorded audio to multi-state objects. I like this approach as I find it much more organised when there are a lot of objects on a slide. I find that the timeline can become very tricky to keep track of some times. However, sometimes for some unbeknownst reason the attached audio does not play in the export. If you have time,please have a look at my attached video in which I try to (as […]

Question Slide freezing and not continuing to next slide

My second question slide keeps freezing and will not continue to the third question slide. I have tried rearranging the slides to see if it is an issue with that slide but it seems to be an issue with being the second question slide. Whatever order I put the three questions in which ever slide is in the 2nd position will not continue to the third question. Maybe relevant, maybe not, when I tried to upload the Captivate project zip […]

I’m creating a web object to call in the video and it works, but the video immediately starts playing, the video controls go away, and it won’t stop running until I exit Captivate altogether. (I even deleted the object, but the audio kept playing after deletion). Published it out and loaded it […]

Can’t figure out why size of project changed SOLVED

This is probably a simple fix but I’m very new to adobe captivate and can’t for the life of me figure out what happened.  I’ve created several projects that were fine and then I opened up a “blank” project and the size of the project changed, it got a lot bigger, to the point where the themes have to tile to fit.  In the preferences under project size, it’s the same as my other projects that are the correct size.
