By Adib Masumian  |  January 23, 2015  |    |  1

Producing Quality Audio Recordings – Part 2: Tips & Tricks In Part 1 of this series, I talked about creating the ideal conditions for producing quality recordings. Now that we’re familiar with recording equipment and environment, we’re ready to talk about pre- and post-production measures—as well as tips to keep in mind when actually recording—that will make narrations smooth and easy to edit.

Producing Quality Audio Recordings – Part 1: The Setup

By Adib Masumian  |  October 7, 2014  |    |  1

David Anderson runs a series of weekly challenges on the Elearning Heroes Articulate community blog. In one of his recent posts, he called on elearning designers to share their tips and tricks for producing quality audio: while recording audio is simple, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to improving audio quality. That means that the most helpful audio tips are the tips that align with a user’s recording needs, experience, and environment.[…]

The Power of Limits

By Kevin Gumienny  |  September 18, 2014  |    |  1

Today’s elearning tools are very powerful. Depending on what you need, you can move from something that gives you a SCORM-compliant punched-up PowerPoint show (like Articulate’s Presenter) to a full-fledged authoring environment that allows you to create, populate, and maintain variables across screens (like Trivantis’s Lectora). Yet sometimes it seems that that power isn’t enough. Take a full screen button, for example. Working in Articulate Presenter, there’s no option to[…]

The Lectora User’s Conference and my First Big Presentation – Part 6: Anatomy of a Presentation, Continued

By Mary Word  |  August 14, 2014  |    |  2

By Mary Word You have seen some of the important elements, such as commenting and naming. Ordering the elements in a page is also important. There are functional reasons to do this, of course. If you have six actions in a group and the third one tells the program to jump to another page, the last three will never be executed. Your interaction depends on a certain sequence of events[…]

The Lectora User’s Conference and my First Big Presentation – Part 5: Anatomy of a Presentation – How Did I Do That, Again?

By Mary Word  |  August 12, 2014  |    |  2

By Mary Word (Relearn what I did—the importance of commenting your own work. Also, big cheers for debug.) If you have ever done programming, or taken a programming course, you have been told to comment your code. One of the best ways to write code is by writing the comments first – pseudocode, if you will. I have worked with programmers who thought that it wasn’t macho to write comments.[…]

How Companies do Collaboration: Part 1

By Adib Masumian  |  April 3, 2014  |    |  1

This is the first post in what will become a series of entries on the sorts of collaborative technologies that companies use for their employees to keep each other in the loop. Every company approaches this decision with a unique level of comfort and desired openness. For example, some organizations are fine with public solutions like Facebook; others prefer restricted, enterprise-grade services like Yammer or Jive; and still others are[…]

Interactive Graphics

By Adib Masumian  |  January 15, 2014  |    |  1

People learn more about the world through their sense of vision than through any other channel. That’s one reason images serve an important role in training. The evolution of web-based technology has allowed us to move beyond static and motion visuals to online interactive graphics with the potential to deepen understanding of the topics we care about. This blog post demonstrates how effective the new generation of visuals can be.[…]
