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

Captivate HTML5 – Audio Doesn’t Play in Moodle

I created a set of SCORM packages for online training purposes, using Captivate 2017. Each file is a series of slides, and each slide has a .wav file that I imported and dropped on the page. The .wav files were created using Audition 2109. Last year, using the same programs (slightly older versions), and processes, I published these packages as swf files, and the audio played without any issues.  This year, I’m attempting to publish them as HTML5. The audio […]

Does my SCORM package contains Flash?

I need to make sure my Captivate SCORM packages (.zip files) are HTML5 and not Flash.  Is there a way to tell just by extracting the files from the Zip file and looking at those?  I am not sure exactly when we switched to all HTML publishing and really hope I don’t need to republish all of our courses just to make sure Flash is eliminated. Can I just search for .swf in the extracted folders?  Would that be a […]

Classic Learning Research in Practice – Color Harmony

Colour plays an important, but secondary, role in recognition. A red apple and a green apple seem at first to be identified by colour. But both red and green apples are identified first as an apple, and only secondly by colour. The initial recognition is of form: this is an apple, not a banana, not a kiwi, not a pear. We see a red apple because, the colorant of a red apple absorbs all wavelengths except red. Only the reflected red […]

RESOLVED – Problem with multiple interactions on a single slide in html5

I’ve run into a problem with html5 playback when placing multiple interactions on a single slide. Here the situation: We are doing software simulations. In our Practice Exercise section, we have an interaction set to 2 tries with failure feedback. After the second incorrect response, the interaction is set to Continue. That leads to coaching feedback and a second interaction set to unlimited tries. The correct response Continues. In Text Entry interactions, the first incorrect response presents failure feedback correctly. […]

Images for Captivate Theme, Dynamic

I am using the Captivate 2019 theme called Dynamic.  I quite like it but need to create couple more master slides where I would need access to the images used to create the theme.  I can see in the library that I have access to the slide images but I was hoping for the original image so that I can manipulate it the way I need. Does anyone know if, and if so where, I can locate these files?
