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.

Adobe Captivate Alignment Toolbar

I’m always looking for shortcuts in online learning design. One of my favourites is the Adobe Captivate Alignment Toolbar. To use for each session you will need to check Enable custom workspaces/panel undocking in your Adobe Captivate Preferences. This option can be found in the General Settings Category.

Adobe Captivate – Different Feedback for Each Answer

In this Adobe Captivate video tutorial, I will share with you an almost hidden feature known as Advanced Answer Option. It’s related to multiple choice single answer quiz questions but the feature isn’t found in the Quiz Properties. Instead, you can find this feature in the Properties Panel for your multiple choice answers themselves. It’s useful if you want to create unique feedback captions for each answer, but you can also assign unique actions to each answer as well. You […]

Interactive Learning

Hello Everyone! Something I have neglected to do over the years is work on creating a portfolio. I figured I would begin doing that. I also thought I would share something here as well. I have been working on developing an interactive digital multimeter and test board with a simple circuit. The board has eight test points and four dip switches while the meter has four settings of OFF, Current, Voltage, and Resistance. This is a subset activity for a […]

eCard created in Adobe Captivate 2017

Having created eCards in the past using Flash, I wondered how far I could go in Captivate to create a animated video eCard.  Since Captivate features a timeline and includes effects and motion paths I thought I could create a sequence and output to video.  With a few concepts outlined in a storyboard I began work in Captivate to see what was possible. Although this is not really what Captivate was meant to do, it allowed me to get creative and dive deeper into […]

Portfolio example:Timing is everything

Hi all, I’ve recently updated my Captivate 2017 subscription, so what better time (I thought) to update some of my portfolio. I wanted to create a module that required a good amount of use of the timeline. As cognitive overload in instructional design is a key element, I feel, in the transfer of knowledge and understanding. Hopefully this will give you a glimpse into what I’m aiming at. I may expand on this topic (Cyber bullying) and add a few […]

Resposive design question

Hi All   I’m relatively new to Adobe Captivate, I used an old version (4) years ago but nothing since.  I’ve now purchased captivate 2017 and I’m looking to create a simple responsive learning course.  My question is, do I change the size of the elements in my viewpoint to adapt from desktop to iPhone say?  For example my layout might look fab in desktop view but when I preview in iPhone mode buttons look very tiny and when I […]
