It can be a difficult sale to […]

Variety; the spice of SCORM, Tools, and LMS products

An interesting issue came up recently where we were delivering a custom eLearning piece to a ‘customer of a customer’. In other words, one of our long-time customers has been licensing a piece of video-heavy courseware which we developed for them in 2009.

Discussing: Video and the Web (part 2)

After last week’s blog post, there were a few discussions from other customers (and apparently a couple of otherwise-quiet readers) on some more elemental aspects of video.

Captivate 5 issues and patches

Captivate 5 offers some great advances over previous versions, the most signifcant perhaps being a complete re-write of the software, availability for the Mac OS, and an overall integration of what’s become a relatively standardized approach for Adobe products. One notable flaw we’ve found, however, is a seeming absence with the overall Adobe Updater component. […]
