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 […]
*Revised and Expanded 12/17/18* H5P is an elearning game-changer. Previously, interactive lessons were only possible with expensive and proprietary software, “freemium” online platforms that come and go like the wind, or advanced HTML and Javascript programming knowledge. Now, H5P allows anyone to create advanced and instructionally sound interactive online lessons from within the web […]
So you’ve developed a fabulous course using Adobe Captivate or Articulate Storyline. Now, you want to show it off. Maybe you want to feature it in your elearning portfolio, or send it to your subject matter expert for review. It’s clunky, to say the least, to send over the zipped version of your published course. […]
If you know anything about me, you know that I love H5P! This is a free and open software for easily crafting interactive tutorials and learning objects. Create an account instantly over at H5P.org. You can incorporate both standard and interactive videos into your learning content using H5P. Either format may be made fully accessible.* […]
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 […]
If you’re new to elearning development, or using Storyline or Captivate for the first time, you may have struggled to learn the software only to experience new issues when trying to view your first published course. Viewing your courses locally (i.e. viewing local files in your browser) is more challenging than ever as browsers continue to […]
I’ve added a Free Downloads page to my website – previously visitors had to hunt for my free templates in my Portfolio. Use and reuse these files for free under the terms of the Creative Commons license assigned to each. I will continually be adding templates to this section, so come back often. Please cite […]
New to eLearning Development? Read this first! I love Camtasia! I use it regularly at work for anything from simple screen recordings to long informational videos. Everything I’ve published to Pollak Library eLearning on YouTube was made with Camtasia. Camtasia is a video editing program, but you can create surprisingly robust interactive mini-courses using its […]
New to eLearning Development? Read this first! Adobe Captivate 9 is very powerful authoring software. It’s also very challenging to learn. Sure, you can easily pick up how to do screen recordings, but to create interactive tutorials you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves! Captivate is similar to Storyline, but it does not […]
New to eLearning Development? Read this first! I love Storyline 2! It’s the authoring software I use most often. I used it for creating the Spark Tutorials and for several of the items in my Portfolio. Storyline is fairly easy to learn. Because it’s similar to PowerPoint, you can use Storyline to make something as […]
