What are eLearning Devs and IDs reading?

Quiz Scope: How is it different in Captivate 6?

In Adobe Captivate 5.5, quiz scope was decided at edit-time:  all the slides in the Filmstrip that appeared after the first question and before the result slide were said to be part of the ‘quiz scope’.  Users would get out of the quiz scope if they jumped to a slide before the first question or beyond the result slide. This means, users could not answer the unattempted questions in the quiz after returning to it. The following video explains this […]

Depending on your perspective, Microsoft PowerPoint is either the birthplace or deathbed of eLearning. Few issues in online learning inspire such deep and divisive disagreement. The core of the problem is in many ways tied to the debate between didactic instruction (think one teacher or trainer giving a lecture) and discovery based education (think simulations, scenarios and self-teaching.)
