16. Let’s talk about Flash
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
17. 11/09/2011: Adobe said,
“We will no longer continue to develop
Flash Player in the browser to work
with new mobile devices”
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
18. What it means
Adobe is no longer developing new
versions of the Flash Player for
mobile web browsers
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
19. What the media heard
Adobe is giving up on mobile devices
and the Flash Player is dead. Anyone
still using Flash is stupid.
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
26. “Just build it in HTML5”
( Sigh )
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
27. HTML5 does not equal Mobile
HTML5 is a set of features added to HTML
that give websites additional/consistent
functionality.
HTML5 = HTML + CSS + JavaScript
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
28. HTML5 does not equal Mobile
Mobile browser evolve faster than
desktop browser and support more HTML5
features. It’s still a work in progress.
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
29. Mobile is hard
So is devising an mLearning strategy.
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
30. Do you need mLearning?
Ask yourself a few easy questions.
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
31. Who’s getting mobile
devices?
NEED MOBILE LEARNING DON’T NEED MOBILE LEARNING
General Workforce IT
• Sales Application Developers
• Marketing
• Customer Service
• Doctors
• Engineers
Senior Executives
Anyone
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
32. How do they use their
devices?
NEED MOBILE LEARNING DON’T NEED MOBILE LEARNING
Showing Product Demos Email
• Videos Virtual
• Presentations Training/Conferencing
Consumption • Adobe Connect
• Job Aids
• Process Training
• Product/Sales Guides
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
34. Design Considerations for
Mobile UI
Design for immediate access
Fingers, not mice
• No roll-overs
• Careful with “try-me” courses
Touch feedback is key
• Down-states
Keep gestures smart and simple
• Or just stick to the tap (click)
Design for real hand sizes
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
37. There’s a hand behind every good
finger
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
38. Tablets
Same as laptops as long as you
recognize the design considerations
of touch-input
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska

41. Type of course
Video Courses
• Mixture of slides and “talking head” video
• Mixture of slides and webcam video (changing a
tire)
• Publish as a video (not interactive)
Interactive Presentation
• PowerPoint on steroids
• Add audio, video, interactivity, quizzes, etc. to
slides
• Create “self-running” presentation
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
43. Adobe Captivate
Here are a few questions to ask when
starting a Captivate project.
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
44. Question 1
What type of eLearning course do you
want?
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
45. Type of course
Video Demonstration
• Record your screen, publish a video, no
interaction
Interactive Demonstration/Simulation
• Screen recording, but with interactivity
• “Slides” between sections of screen recording
Scenario-based Training
• Teaching soft-skills with lots of branching
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
46. Question 2
Who is your target audience?
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
48. Question 3
What are you publishing and where are you
putting it?
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
49. Publishing
Publish to the web
• Flash (SWF): Consistent, easy, but not mobile friendly
• HTML5: Works on devices, but has limitations/inconsistencies
• Video (MP4): Plays everyone, consistent, but not interactive
Publish to LMS (similar to the web)
• SCORM or AICC
• Check LMS for supported formats
Publish to the Desktop
• Offline
• Good for “reference courses” but not good for tracking
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
50. Task 1: Video Demo
Record the screen
Edit the video
Add some UI elements
Publish
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
51. Video Demo
Perfect Screen Capture
• Great for capturing animation and roll-overs
Add simple UI elements
• Captions, highlights, panning, zooming, etc.
Can only publish a video
• Not interactive
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
52. Task 1: Video Demo
Record the screen
Edit the video
Add some UI elements
Publish
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
53. Task 2: Simulations
Record the screen
Add additional slides
Add Interactivity
Publish
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
54. Simulations
Screen captured as “slides”
• Allows developers to “splice” in additional slides
• Easier Branching
• Show Me, Try Me, Test Me
Interactive UI Elements
• Roll-over hotspots, quizzes, etc.
Many publish options
@dtauer :: @easelsolutions :: @ASTDNebraska
55. Task 2: Simulations
Record the screen
Add additional slides
Add Interactivity
Publish
