One of the great features available in Articulate Storyline2 (SL2) are the Slider Controls. So, for the Elearning Heroes Challenge #70 which involved creating a Valentine’s themed elearning interaction. I wanted to create an interaction where Cupid, the fabled roman god of love lend you his bow and arrow so you can answer questions on a […]
Once again, I had the pleasure of partaking in this week’s ELearning Heroes Challenge which was to create an elearning experience for football training. For my global friends I mean American Football and since the Super Bowl was yesterday, this was an exciting sample to build. The concept I came up with was very simple […]
If you develop your elearning courses with Articulate Storyline there’s no better way to start the year honing your skills and creativity by completing an ELearning Heroes Challenge (ELH). This week’s challenge was a tough one and it forced me to come up with creative ways to combine three awesome templates into one unified design. To […]

Recently I was approached regarding an interactive chart I developed on Articulate StoryLine2. The inquirer was a Lectora user and was interested in achieving the same functionality with Lectora. I downloaded the free trial version of Lectora Inspire12 and immediately got busy on duplicating the SL2 chart with this tool. Lectora Inspire12’s navigation panel looks […]
Litmos by CallidusCloud has been around since 2007 and it has become a great and simple Learning Management System (LMS) to use. It’s not only simple, it pretty much uses the current Hyper Transfer Markup Language 5 (HTML5) capabilities to the maximum to provide a learner-centric navigation experience both on desktops and mobile devices.

Happy Halloween Feud! Enjoy Halloween with this Articulate SL1 game mimicking the popular “Family Feud” game. You can play it here or download the source files to enhance it at your will. The game has a very simple structure and it’s not a fully developed one. However, if you are eLearning dangerous (like me ; […]
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m passionate about creativity and learning. I’m also fascinated about electronic music and of course, I had to try it out. So I did some research and I found Native Instruments’ Maschine products which are (for lack of a better word) machines known as “groove makers” as well as […]
Hi everyone! I’m back and with a great product: Camtasia Studio 8. This is the first of a couple posts showing most of the features Camtasia has to offer.

I made a compilation of multiple videos posted on YouTube of highly disturbing and violent images of pacific demonstrations gone wrong in Venezuela. Why? Well, I was born there but, I also felt the obligation to denounce this from a humanistic viewpoint. This video was produced with Adobe Premiere CS5 (video editing software) and I translated lyrics […]

Here’s the follow-up to the original post about publishing Adobe Captivate 7 e-learning modules on HTML5 (not Flash) to the web. The Not So Great… This is a quick look at what Adobe needs to pay attention to for a […]
Captivate 7 is the latest instance of one of the top contenders in the eLearning authoring software arena from Adobe. However, although it has many built-in features for interaction like its main rival Articulate Storyline; the application reveals many glitches on the final product. Hence the importance of allowing ample testing time as an Instructional Designer so […]
The YouTube Downloader is an awesome application I use to extract videos from YouTube. Not only does this application allow you to download the video but, it also converts it to any other video friendly format i.e. MP3, MP4, WMV and AVI. I found this app most useful when you want to beef up your […]
I love technology but, it’s just not fair. I remember being 12 and having to spend so many hours researching content for my school projects while traveling many miles between bookstores and libraries to find what I needed. Now, imagine having complete access to every media library at every major university in the world! Ok, open your eyes, […]
