Augmented reality (AR) is an amazing new technology for us as consumers and as learning developers. Our ability to access AR from our mobile devices makes the barrier of entry low, however as developers, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Understanding when to use AR, how to design quality AR experiences, and generating organizational buy-in are difficult hurdles to adoption. Getting started with this technology is easier than ever before; the challenge is doing it in a way that makes it a valuable and sustainable part of your learning and development world.
Read MoreMany eLearning designers and developers need to teach systems. It can be quite labor and time intensive to teach face-to-face. Hiring a vendor to build system simulations is another option, but with its own challenges. Vendors have to learn your internal processes, your organization may not have a secure way of giving a non-employee access, and changes to your systems may lead to additional costs to have the vendor-built simulation content updated.

Concurrent Session
Bootstrap Studio is a fantastic tool that allows rapid development and prototyping of your applications and web content. Built on top of the well-known Bootstrap framework, Bootstrap Studio comes with many built-in components that you can drag-and-drop to assemble responsive HTML5 code for your hybrid app. Bootstrap Studio has many ready-to-use templates, allows real-time preview for different device configurations, and exports clean, semantic HTML5.
Read MoreAs organizations integrate mobile as a learning platform, many designers and developers face the challenge of making content available on a variety of devices, with or without a consistent internet connection. Additionally, the workforce has an expectation that mobile experiences will be accessible, practical, and immediately applicable.
Read MoreVoice assistant devices like Alexa and Google Assistant, which are being adopted in homes and the workplace, are a disruptive game-changer in the learning and development space. Learning professionals need to begin considering adoption of this tech and integration into the learning ecosystem. Barriers include fear of the technology, understanding how to even start developing learning content in this new platform, and understanding how to gather valid learning metrics to measure learning impact and solution effectiveness.
Read MoreDo you need a quick, reliable, and cost-effective tool for informational and instructional videos? You have it all with Camtasia. With Camtasia Studio you can record, edit, and publish a short video with branching interactivity.
Read MoreWhen you develop an eLearning course for a client or yourself, you want to make sure your work stands out. One way to achieve this is by creating a personalized Storyline template, which can include all sorts of custom interactions. Did you know you can even create custom multiple choice questions? By adding different effects to your question and having custom feedback layers, you are able to tailor the interaction to meet your template’s needs. It sounds complicated, but as you'll learn, it doesn't have to be.
Read MoreIt can be difficult to keep learners engaged when taking an online course. As designers, we may want to add more meaningful interactivity to address this issue, but may not be aware of available functionalities our eLearning authoring tools have to offer to help make this happen.
Read MoreVideo has long been acknowledged as a great tool for training but has often been dismissed due to high production costs. In the last decade the landscape for video production has changed. There has been a dramatic reduction in expenses, mobile devices shoot HD video, and a wide array of YouTube-framework solutions has accelerated the role of video in corporate training. Most of the video content consumed by learners is linear and static other than basic video playback controls. The challenge for eLearning developers is to move video content beyond the traditional linear experience and incorporate engaging interactions.
Read MoreCommonly used eLearning platforms typically offer only a limited amount of options when it comes to gamification. Similarly, traditional learning management systems can sometimes lag behind when it comes to observing learner usage. New technologies that solve these problems are certainly available, but how can you get started with them in a way that isn’t challenging and complicated to implement? This session aims to provide you with the solution; a guide to the tools that can help you overcome these challenges through an ecosystem approach.

Concurrent Session
We’re all constantly looking for ways our audiences can apply new content in authentic, real-world scenarios. But what can you do when you don't have the time or money to build a full eLearning course, or when you realize your audience is tired of the standard eLearning "text and next" format? You could develop several scenario-based test questions, but unfortunately that won’t realistically replicate what learners will experience while on the job (since answering test questions isn’t how they will be applying what they learned). But … what if there was another way to provide realistic, scenario-based application so people actually gain confidence that they can apply what they’ve learned to their job?
Read MoreThere are plenty of options for creating chatbots. From Amazon to Watson, there are versatile platforms that require strong developer skills and others that guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a chatbot. But choosing a platform may not even be the right place to start, or the most important part of the process. Really taking advantage of chatbot technology requires the right kind of planning and thought. And it might just require a bit of machine training.
Read More715 BYOD: Create Interactive VR Experiences with Captivate and Photoshop
Concurrent Session
Currently, VR is the biggest area of growth and potential in eLearning. For an affordable first step into this world, many leverage 360 cameras to capture the content they need. Cameras that can take full 360 images are coming down in price but they may capture flaws you’ll want to correct before you use the footage in your final project. For instance, what happens when there are subjects that you don't want in the picture, including the person who shot the images?
Read MoreL&D teams are eager to collect and use training analytics data, but effective dashboards are missing from many learning platforms. That's because training analytics dashboards are challenging to implement, and every end-user wants something just a bit different. Some analytics tools require a graduate-level understanding of statistics to learn and use, but not Power BI. This free tool from Microsoft makes it easy for you to rapidly create a custom suite of dashboards, and craft reports and data visualizations that can demonstrate the impact of training to managers or convince executives that eLearning correlates to improvements in KPIs.
Read MoreA common challenge many instructional designers face is the need to be both instructionally design-minded and also graphically adept. And even if you have good instincts on what looks good, you may not always know why certain graphic design decisions support learning and others don't. Being able to quickly review and update visual content is key, but you also want to make sure the design decisions you're making have the greatest impact on improving the learner's experience. Not only that, but the number of design and development tools available to you can also be overwhelming, and even simple tools now include more graphic design features. Does this now mean you need a graphic design background to use visual design approaches and tools effectively? The good news is not necessarily.
Read More816 CANCELLED - BYOD: Accessibility! Designing WCAG & 508-Compliant Courses in Storyline 360
Concurrent Session
As learning organizations are focusing more on accessibility, they’re tasked with including section 508 and WCAG requirements in their eLearning content. This leaves many designers and design teams asking the same questions: How do I take a set of bullet points from a government website and put them into practice? What is tab order? What does good alt text look like and when should I be using it? Do I need both captions and a transcript to be compliant? Inquiring minds want to know!
