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 […]

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.

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

Many of you have approached me regarding Adobe eLearning Suite training. The need for good training and possibly a certification that adequately covers the suite specific workflows and shared tools (like the SCORM packager, LMS adapter, Flash learning interactions, etc.) continues to be the single biggest request I hear from the eLS user base. Recently a couple of vendors have started offering training on eLearning Suite. One is Element K (and we should have this available on the Adobe […]
Wow, November has been hectic and I’m glad I have some breathing room now. We had the Adobe Learning Summit and DevLearn- both of which saw a large involvement from Captivate and eLearning Suite teams.

My favorites included the sessions by Josh Cavalier and Joe Ganci on ‘Captivate for beginners’ and ‘Captivate for power users’ respectively; the session by Fran Keefe on eLearning Suite integration […]

Not to mention the array of sound editing software used. I was impressed […]

But the user is still presented with the ‘skip’ button during the Quiz. Now, if you decide to uncheck […]
