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 […]

Make a Geo-Location Aware mLearning Project

At the 2016 Adobe Learning Summit I presented a session on creating mLearning in 60 minutes. I think my talk was successful in getting everyone excited about the possibilities behind using location aware features in Adobe Captivate, but my demo didn’t work as planned, so I thought I would share the procedures in today’s video. In this video, I’ll show you how to make a mobile scavenger hunt project that uses the Geo Location Aware feature in Adobe Captivate 9.

Rapid Development for mLearning

Inserting Video Demo Files Into Other Projects

I had a viewer from my YouTube channel ask me about the Video Demo feature in Adobe Captivate. Specifically, this viewer was having trouble getting his video demo to play automatically within another Captivate project. In all likelihood he was using a video demo that had been published out to a video file, however, I thought I would blog about the options for inserting video demos into other project files. The first method is the easiest way. Simply record your […]
