'by Kevin Siegel      I've met a few Captivate developers who say they have a love-hate relationship with Captivate's default Object Styles. Personally, I love Object Styles and can't think of anything to hate. As far as I'm concerned, using Object Styles will improve your development speed enormously.   Object Styles allow you to quickly update the look and feel of objects throughout your project with just a few clicks.

In fact, the first distance learning program on record took place in 1728, when a local teacher by the name of Caleb Phillips advertised shorthand correspondence lessons offered by mail! By 1800, the growth of the U.S. Postal Service brought about an increase in the number of distance learning correspondence courses in the country.

'Here are some ideas I’ve had lately about trying to separate games and gamification as concepts. A game is a self-contained unit. There is a defined “game-space” in which the players agree to engage in game activities. There is a clear beginning, middle and end to a game. There is a defined winning state of the game. The players know when they or someone else has completed the game.

As with any learning intervention, gamification is not the answer to every learning situation and to gamify all content or learner experiences does not make sense. Gamification is especially effective when it is used to encourage learners to progress through content, motivate action, influence behavior and drive innovation.
