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 […]

Using Javascript to Concatenate – A Real State Changer

In this post, I provide an example of how you can change the state of an object based on the changing values of two different variables. The solution I offer you is to concatenate the variables into a single string that matches the name of your states. I referenced this in my post on using state changes as navigation and have used this in many projects and so I thought it was time to write up something a little more […]

Anyone know how to “reset” an animated gif in html output?

Audio anomalies in HTML5 output

I am on a team with several Captivate 2017 users. We want to combine the slides from several Captivate files into one. We only output at HTML5 due to Flash being restricted on our LAN (and other reasons). We found that when copy/pasting slides from one file into another, the audio gets modified. Some segments (not restricted to a single slide, often spanning more than one) get cut out and are replaced by the audio from a previous, unrelated project. […]

Animated Scale with with Drag and Drop

Overview I recently worked on a project where ‘balance’ was an underlying theme to the learning.  Without going into too much detail about the content, the learner needed to place several ‘statements’ into categories and through this process of categorizing would in turn understand the concept of balance.  Cue the obvious metaphor: the scale. You can see the modified final product in the .cptx file I attached. Please feel free to modify or use it if you would like in your own […]

Branching Navigation

Well, I am going to go out on a limb here and offer some thoughts on branching…  This is one of those areas that has many avenues of approach and I offer nothing more than my own methodology.

Background This post is born […]
