TweetDeck to Facebook – FINALLY!

TweetDeck to Facebook – FINALLY!

by Brian on 16. Mar, 2009 in Technology

Finally. Other Twitter desktop tools have had it, but I don’t like those Twitter tools for, well, Twittering. I prefer TweetDeck, and now I get the bonus functionality to post to Facebook if I want – awesomeness!

Adobe Learning Summit Notes: Sneak Peeks

by Brian on 10. Nov, 2008 in Learning, Technology

Let’s hope this is not just stuff I already know about.

Adobe eLearning Suite Announced

Captivate 4:

  • Mobile learning templates. Pick a phone in Device Central, send to Captivate, will designate screen size for real estate based on the device selected.
  • Manual and automatic panning in Captivate 4 (finally).
  • Send preview to Device Central to see what it looks like on mobile device.
  • Batch testing on multiple phones
  • Mac version is coming, but not with v4.
  • Inline text editing in captions (rather than having to double-click to open editor)
  • Drawing tools integrated: drawing toolbar for circles, lines, etc.
  • Now can use Photoshop files with layers and accessible in timeline.
  • Variables. Use text entry to capture info to use throughout. Good for personalization, but nothing spectacular.
  • Flash widgets, and Captivate Exchange (like the old DW Extensions)
  • Slide-level executions (play bar, logo, etc.)
  • Ships with widgets and FLA source file to customize or make your own.
  • Table of contents…ability to link several movies using Aggregator.
  • Support Flash PLayer 7-10 and Flash Lite
  • Previously mentioned review via AIR.
  • Dynamically link with original PowerPoint presentation when converting.

So, not so much a sneak peek of Adobe products, but just a sneak peek of Captivate 4. Be a little more honest with your session titles/descriptions, Adobe.

Additional notes:

  • eLearning Suite includes different versions of CS products? Dreamweaver for eLearning? Interesting.
  • Quizzing module added to Flash
  • No date (no surprise) – 2009

Adobe Learning Summit: Opening Session

by Brian on 10. Nov, 2008 in Learning

Adobe Notes:

  • Cap. 4 has variables. Ability to personalize training. Capture data at front-end (names, etc.) and use them throughout.
  • Connect keeps track of every interaction, allowing recording for EEs to take at a later time asynchronously.
  • Same experience in sync/async (for the most part)
  • Flash Player inside of Acrobat Pro and Reader.
  • Embed Captivate movie inside of Acrobat job aid.
  • Interactive menu (like portfolio) for resources. Acrobat could be shell for all resources for training or reference.

AIR:

  • With Captivate 4: Feedback/comments on elearning (reviewer can be on a Mac/Linux)
  • Use AIR to “Send for Review”
  • Send via email (two files – AIR app, review file)
  • Requires IT Support to get AIR installed (will this work in a corporate environment?)
  • Reviewer: watch the movie, add comments as it plays. Comments can be reviewed at end, then saved/submitted to the original file’s save location (shared network drive?).
  • All comments from multiple reviewers will sync up.
  • Reviews are automatically synced, reviewer does not have to email them back.
  • Automatically records author of comments
  • On refresh, reviewer can go see new comments (but no automatic notification built-in?)

Adobe Launching eLearning Suite Soon
