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 […]

JavaScript Book Recommendation

Hi, Can someone recommend JavaScript, HTML and CSS books for beginners that would be a best fit for Adobe Captivate? I keep researching but do not find anything in particular. However, if anyone can recommend any books that were of great help to you and Captivate, let me know! Currently, I have a few in my Amazon cart but just not sure which would be good. Plan on also heading to a Barnes and Nobles this weekend and see what’s […]

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 […]

SmartShapes not displaying in Edge

In Captivate 2017, I have some smartshapes that are being used as buttons. The problem is when I export for HTML5 and run in Microsoft Edge, the button does not show up but it is there because if I move my cursor to that area of the screen it shows up. This ONLY happens in Edge. Everything works fine in IE 11 and Chrome. Has anyone else experience this? Or, have any idea how to fix it? Also, the smartshape […]

Typing Text – HTML output

Simple way to mimick Typing Text for HTML5 output, using Captivate’s features.

PPT Publishing Issue

I have created (imported) two projects in Captivate 2017 from a ppt.  Added audio no problem.  No problem publishing but when uploaded to LMS, one ran perfectly fine.  The second project has all blank screens.  Can someone please tell me what the fix is for this.  My deadline is today for these projects!

How to automate elearning project operations to save time and money

Elearning website owner should focus on course content and user engagement, not on boring operations that take time and energy. In this article, we will cover how to automate elearning website to free up some time for its managers and increase engagement for students.

Stop Audio from Repeating when Replaying Slide

2017 Captivate. Further to the post in 2017 by JoeQ, creating this Advanced Action worked great for one slide. Is it possible to do this on all slides so that if the user returns to any slide in the Captivate project, the audio would not play the 2nd time around? Does that mean I need to make multiple ‘playonce’ advanced actions – one for each slide seperately?

PowerPoint to Captivate

I needed to convert my 65 page PowerPoint to into captivate.  I found it was a very challenging task because it simply imported every slide as a flat image with no independent objects to manipulate (like text boxes, images,etc.) So I did some research and found that Storyline 360 converts the slides into their program and retains the independence of the objects.  Great!  Woo hoo!  Win for team Todd!!!  Well no…  I had to learn a new application, and finesse […]

Can I Stop a Captivate CBT and restart at the same location?

Captivate 2017 – I have created several CBTs. Some have audio and some don’t. Can I set it up so that the user can Stop the video at any point in the CBT and restart in the same spot or does it always have to start at the beginning?

LMS and Captivate

I created a course, and it was put in our Success Factors LMS , published as HTML5, Scorm 1.2.  Over 500 people took the course successfully and gained completion. The next wave of users is having an issue with completion in Chrome.   and nothing in the course has changed nor has it been republished. Anyone ever seen this?  I’ll gladly take suggestions for solutions.  We have a lot  more work coming through! Thank you!

Trouble viewing published interactive program on SalesConnect

Hello, I have created an interactive project in Captivate 2017 and it plays fine locally from the Index file, however when we load it onto our SalesConnect platform (which does play other html5 interactive programs) we just get a spinning icon which never fully loads.  Someone mentioned the loading icon usually means the package is looking for something it cannot find.   I have been told our SalesConnect system does not support Scorm or AICC – will Captivate interactive videos work […]

VR project with a serious effort

This project is based on Virtual Reality. If you have seen VR project in Captivate, you would have noticed that, not much interactivity is seen in VR module, except adding standard HotSpot. Even adding Knowledge Check questions does not really add much to that(because least types of question type supported and that also without supporting Advanced Actions/JavaScript etc.) This is the first project, where more interactivity is given by one or other way. A challenging task is given to the […]
