What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

But if there is something that relates and you feel […]

Using Multi-State Objects to create an eLearning Course with 2 languages – a second approach

Have you ever worked on an eLearning project that required two languages? When you encounter this issue you have a few options, you can always build two eLearning Courses, one in each language, or you can try to include both languages in a single project. I typically choose the later approach, but depending on the course requirements I may approach the secondary/alternate language implementation in different ways. This is my second video on the subject and this is the approach […]

It’s the training, stupid!

The variant of the famous quote from James Carville, strategist of Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1992, has never been so relevant. The ability development for employees is a daily practice in companies big and small. An employee who is unable to carry out their daily tasks within the company may be (and is, for a fact) more expensive than the onboarding investment.

Add variables to master slide?

Hello everyone!  I’m trying to do track progress using circles with different states and add them to a master slide so the progress is tracked throughout my course.  I’m not enjoying success.  Has anyone ever built that sort of mechanism that could share a tip to make it work?

There’s nothing like a bad first impression.

Has anyone figured out how to adjust the new start screen transparency and how to remove big ugly blue frame around the start button?  I understand the need for no autoplay, but that first screen now looks completely unprofessional.
