NotificationAs an instructional designer and content developer I make a habit of trying to stay up to date on the tools available for eLearning development. I regularly will download trail versions of software when new versions come out and will spend time evaluating them. Usually I will spend a few hours over a few days going through the software, following YouTube tutorials learning the basics (enough to keep the title on my resume). Last month, I applied for an instructional […]
For major video projects, or when I need to edit videos beyond just trimming I use Adobe Primer; however, when I needed to do just short Web cam videos or screen captures I would used other tools, mainly Techsmith’s Camtasia Studios. But the other day I downloaded Adobe Presenter Express and I was very impressed. Adobe Presenter Express is a top notch capture program, and it is fast! Creating tutorials using screen capture was easy and intuitive and the “Change Your […]
User experience has taken a front seat in design thinking and creation. As learners detach themselves from traditional learning methods, our attention turns to the use of mobile devices for consumption by learners.

Of course, then the decision isn’t yours to make and you have to use whatever software they give you. But I’ve found myself in different circumstances over the years and perhaps my experience can help you when it comes to making the decision for yourself. Student Teacher Pricing In between jobs, […]
I reached a milestone today and I wanted to give thanks and credit where it was due. Today my YouTube channel, which is dedicated to Adobe eLearning products and services, surpassed 5,000 subscribers. I’d like to take the time to thank not only the Adobe eLearning team members but to all my subscribers. I know full well that most of them have probably come from the eLearning Community at one point or another. Thank you all. I’d like to make […]

Adobe Captivate 2017 comes with an exciting new workflow to aid in the creation of responsive eLearning courses: Fluid Boxes. Instead of designing multiple slides for different screen sizes (known as breakpoints), you work on a single slide.
