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

I posted some comments about the limitations of that solution. In this article the described solution is […]

According to this, most of us pick: 70 percent of our knowledge from our on-the job experiences 20 percent from interactions with others 10 percent from structured or formal training It is no surprise that today more and more companies are using some form of social […]

I’m always trying to get faster with my development process in Adobe Captivate, and have learnt some tricks over the years, which I wanted to share with you. I appreciate that everyone will already have their own workflow, but I thought these would help. Tip 1. Save Files With Version Numbers. This is something I always preach. Please save your Captivate files with version numbers. An example of this could be a Captivate file with name of ‘Module_1_draft_1. I will […]

And for more than a decade, if you took or built an e-learning course, chances are […]

Whilst I’m only a developer, I believe these lessons can apply no matter what your role is. These are also just my own views and not an exhausted list. Lesson 1. Don’t Get Attached. Change Happens. This was […]
