However, without any real knowledge of xAPI, how do you know if the pros outweigh the cons, in your specific situation.

Currently, the official standards for Accessibility compliance in the US are found at ADA.gov , covering the entire Americans with Disabilities Act. The site itself is a trove of information for those who really want to explore and understand the large range of requirements, from IT to public accommodations. Fortunately for those of us in eLearning, a secondary government website has been created to focus on the IT aspect of the overall ADA – Section508.gov.

A recent discussion among some developers brought up a point of consideration; “When Captivate is setup to mark completion on ‘slide views’, are those completed slide views triggered when the individual slides are ‘entered’ or ‘exited’?” The can arise in situations where, for example, the project is set to not mark complete until “100%” of all slides are viewed…but what does ‘viewed’ mean?

The human mind is immensely complex, at times capable of amazing feats of intellectual mettle, yet seemingly fragile and forgetful in other circumstances. Great educators overcome this contrast through genuine connection, striving to bring out the best in their learner. This theme rings equally true within the eLearning realm.
