| INTEGRATED LEARNINGS NOVEMBER 17, 2009  What Are You Doing to Motivate Learning? by Shelley A. Gable. We all know that attitudes toward training vary greatly in the workplace.

As a reminder, ADDIE stands for Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.). What constitutes Define? Things we are all already doing anyway really. Define encompasses the logical first steps of a project. | INTEGRATED LEARNINGS SEPTEMBER 19, 2009  It's not Voodoo, It's JavaScript In my last post I showed you how to use the math functionality of Lectora. Lectora allows you to add, subtract, multiply, and divide variables. If you want to do more than this or use more complex logic, then you will need to add JavaScript to your project.
