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 […]

“Live preview on Devices” using QR code

To have live Mobile preview, you must have mobile and your pc(cp project) on the same network(accessing same router/hotspot …).

Comparison between “Break point mode” & “Fluid Boxes”

There are mainly two different approaches in making any responsive project. One is “Breakpoint mode” and other is using “Fluid boxes”. And the biggest problem is that we can use ONLY any one feature in our project. I know Fluid box is the latest feature and everyone use it. But I would like to know Pro and Cons of both features. Example, “Break point mode” gives us control for mainly there screen sizes(although we can add more), while “Fluid box” […]

Video issue

I Placed 5 MP4 video’s wihtin an elearning that I’m building. 2 video’s are visible when viewing the eLearning on the iPad and 3 are not shown. Does anybody know how this is possible? I’m using MP4 and choose Progressive download. All 5 video’s are saved with the same settings and are NOT on auto play.

Keyboard and mouse sounds during recording

What is the recommended suggestion to remove any background noises created by keyboard and/or mouse during a recording? Option 1: I would like to just buy hardware that is silent, there is plenty of choices out there. Option 2: My supervisor is inquiring about recording the visual part and the audio part independently and put them together after. I have not done the latter of the two and feel that is much more work than needed? Any suggestions or thoughts […]

Green Check Marks with VR Hotspots

Using Windows 10 and Adobe Captivate 2019 While creating a virtual reality slide if you place a hotspot and use the DISPLAY TEXT action, you get a green check mark once the hotspot is clicked. If you change the action of the hotspot to JUMP TO SLIDE, you don’t get the green check mark once it has been clicked. I am trying to let the user know what they have and have not clicked. How do I get check marks […]

Drag & Drop in Captivate (Part 4)

This is the last part in Drag-n-Drop. Because of more images are used, it may take time to load… (reloaded after editing…) Hope, I upload technical details in my blog very soon.

Responsive Simulation Not Recording all Steps

I am using Captivate 2017.  Previously when I recorded a demo simulation, Captivate would record each click of my mouse as a separate slide I could edit.  I recently had a system administrator run the updates for the application and now when I record it only captures when I use a key on my board.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Captivate 2019 – eLearning Assets Won’t Load

Captivate 2019 Demo Slide timing

I hope someone can help me! I recorded a demo and am making adjustments to it. I have an issue with one slide where a pop-up menu is supposed to appear. It does appear, but not until the very last second of the slide. I need this to be the focus of this slide but don’t want to have to record a new demo. Is there a way to adjust the timing so I don’t have to re-record the demo?
