Rapid eLearning Through Software Simulations And Screencasts

Upside Learning

Previously when I discussed freeform and template-based rapid content authoring tools, I kept software simulation tools aside. The main reason was that such simulation tools are not always used for developing just any type of learning but focused on training content creation for a specific software application or system.

Expectations From eLearning Authoring Tools

Upside Learning

For example, a feature that lets users “import” existing PowerPoint presentations into the authoring tool is different from authoring and publishing eLearning content from within PowerPoint (using a plug-in toolbar). Should be able to import external Flash SWF as well as audio and video in variety of popular formats. 2004, AICC).

How to Record Software Simulation in Adobe Captivate 9

CommLab India

Various other authoring tools provide this facility to record simulations, but Adobe Captivate 9 is the most easy-to-use tool to create software simulations. It allows you to create simulations in “show me”, “try it” and “test me” modes, which are basically “Watch-Try-Do” software simulations. Screen Area.

Adobe Captivate – The Ideal Systems Training Development Tool

CommLab India

For example, a language is learned well by speaking and practicing, and science by observations and validation. Similarly, executing tasks on a software application is learned well by observing the procedures and trying them again and again. Doing this on a live software application might lead to undesired consequences.

What’s Hot with Articulate 360? – Part 7: Engage 360

CommLab India

We saw that Storyline 360 can be used to develop good software simulations and online assessments. Flash objects and interactivities in the SWF format can be inserted. For example, you can allow learners to interact with the content only in the landscape mode. You can edit videos easily.

That makes it difficult for the learner to use it in similar but slightly different situations since there is no real ‘foundation’ Examples. Here is the link to an example file, which is created from the Video Demo file you have seen under Workflow 1: Editing Characters with Photoshop. Workflow 3: Software simulations.

All we have to do is to convert all the media to.flv so it can be embedded in the SWF, then publish the SCORM package to the LMS.”. For example, let’s say you have a set of LOs that teach learners how to survive a Zombie attack. Simulations : Imitation of something real world in a virtual environment. Here are the essentials.
