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 […]

Thoughts on HTML5 output and TTS

Hello everyone, I would like to discuss some issues with HTML output. I have a short demo project (Here is the link . The demo is about common resume mistakes). Since the project is text-heavy, I did not adapt it for smaller screens. What I am struggling is that the output looks different depending on the browser. Typical issues: In certain browsers, the highlight box randomly changes its location. ( From my experience, the highlight box feature is buggy. Its […]

What Will elearning Look Like In The Future?

Lately I’ve been wondering what elearning will look  like in the future. With technologies always emerging like virtual reality, gamification and more focus on mobile learning; will there still be a place for the current format of working through modules slide by slide? I think technologies like VR will become more affordable for everyone and when the process is made easier, it could possibly become the new norm. But is this realistic, and what other technologies do you think could also change how […]

ADOBE CAPTIVATE 2017: Improved Closed Captions

by Kevin Siegel, COTP, CTT When it comes to accessibility, Adobe’s products have always been some of the best available. Nevertheless, Adobe found a way to improve them. Take Captivate’s closed captions for example. Closed captioning is the process of adding text to the screen to support learners with a hearing disability. The idea behind closed captions is for the hearing challenged learner to see exactly what the narrator is saying as the narrator is saying it. While Captivate has […]

Adobe Captivate & the eLearning Brothers: Free Matching Images and Videos

by Kevin Siegel, COTP, CTT During the first day of my Adobe Captivate Beginner class, attendees learn how to import and work with both images and videos. During the video portion of the class, we import a Flash Video (flv) which students love because without the background color in the video, it’s possible to include an animated guide throughout a lesson. The problem with Flash Videos is that they can be difficult to create on your own and, worse, there […]
