Big Sur (macOS 11) update for Adobe Captivate (2019 release) is here!
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 […]

Intro Last week I answered several questions about audio on the forums with pretty simple workflows Maybe you will like them? Contrary to what you are used to read in my blog, this is a short article, there is no example movie. Trick 1: Audio when hovering over a (shape) button Buttons and shape buttons have 4 InBuilt states: Normal, Rollover, Down and Visited (only available in CP2017). Quite a while ago I explained what I mean by an ‘Audio Object’. […]

Our brain is self-organizing using Neuroplasticity trough long term Potentiation, keeping hold of knowledge or depression by removing irrelevant knowledge. Like on a computer system that has input devices to enter data, data has to be entered in our brain. This is not done by input devices but by receptors (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin) they receive millions of pieces of information that are delivered to the sensory memory. The Iconic Sensory Register is the most dominant and can hold information […]
People care because our triune brain, has an emotional side. This emtional side or emotional brain it is kept in balance by our neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are also known as the fast chemical messengers, and enable neurotransmission in the limbic (emotional) brain. These chemical messengers will have ups and downs equaling the trade offs of life. So basically, our brains are on drugs pretty much all the time. When using emotion during learning it will make a direct synapse connection and create deeper learning, compared […]
Once the learner feels connected, we need to maintain his attention and avoid multitasking. This can be done by channeling your content towards all of the learners senses: Iconic, Echoic, Haptic … Gustatory, Olfactory. Sensory input remains useless until it is processed by the brain where it becomes perception. Your eyes do not see; your ears do not hear, they just collect input from the environment. It is your brain that sees and hears. Perception starts at the sensory input, in the bottom-up processing approach (Gibson’s Theory). The sensory neural signals have […]
We all have those moments that your learning does not seem to connect to the audience, we tend to blame the learners, however it is the learning designer that is to blame.

Let us investigate the triune brain, and how this model helps you to connect to your audience. The triune […]
