Struggling to find good examples of interactive Storyline courses? You’re not alone! Most amazing projects are proprietary – they’re built out for a client, so instructional designers aren’t able to put them onto their portfolios. Or, they may only be able to show off a small part. But there are still lots of awesome demos […]

“Captivate E-Learning Course” getting you down? Change the default name of your SCORM packages in Adobe Captivate 2019 so that you can differentiate them when they’re all in your LMS (Learning Management System). When you publish your Captivate projects as SCORM packages, you’ll find that the SCORM package name defaults to “Captivate E-Learning Course” in […]

Instructional designers are probably all guilty of creating the occasional page-turner – you know, those PowerPoint-like experiences that only necessitate the learner to click Next and Back. It’s a […]
I’ve written previously about how intrigued I was by the newest version of Adobe Captivate, which now supports 360 images and facilitates creation of interactive virtual reality learning experiences, if they’re a bit limited yet in functionality. I’ve also written about my goal of “Showing My Work” in creating a wilderness survival virtual reality game […]

Jump to the bottom to try out a Virtual Reality Project published in Captivate using stock images included with the program. The newest release of […]
I’ve just updated my academic library’s library orientation tutorials, the Spark Tutorials, for the 2018-19 school year! These are the third iteration of the Spark Tutorials as they exist today. And I just realized – I’ve been developing elearning for five years now! I’ve been developing elearning with Articulate Storyline since 2013. I’ve also been using […]
I would love to chat about elearning development and accessibility at ALA Annual in New Orleans! I’ve got three presentations/events lined up: Tutorials that are interactive, accessible, AND open? It’s possible with H5P! Poster presenter, The Educators Poster Session Saturday, June 23, 1:30 pm-3:00 pm Learning Roundtable Training Showcase I will be attending this session and […]
In my last post, I talked about how I created a single-session leaderboard from scratch in Storyline. I just couldn’t help myself and I decided to keep working on it. The single-session version of the leaderboard was pre-populated with names to give the sense of competition, but scores were only stored in that browser during […]
As the Instructional Design Librarian at CSUF, I often work with other departments on elearning projects. Last month I was asked by the director of Online Education and Training to partner with her on an online digital display recognizing CSUF faculty that adopted Open Educational Resources. It was a great project! We surveyed the students […]
