E-Learning Heroes - Advice and ideas from the Articulate Community

Hi, Dan

I appreciate you taking the time testing how Screenr Mp4 worked with Captivate. It seems to me our SMEs have to be really good in both presentations and voice over, in order for us to re-use it.

Let me pose this question: If most of the SMEs are good at presentations and voiceover with Screenr, will they do away with our eLearning developers?

Love the soapbox stuff Dan.  I too have ScreenFlow.  In actuality, the Mac version of Camtasia and Screenflow are VEEERY similar.  A lot of nice features in each.

So Robert... is the Mac Camtasia & Windows Camtasia different??? (besides the Mac versions crashes less

JW, YES.. we are dispensable heroes :) SME's will one day rule the world... muuauauauahahahaha!

Dan, yes the Mac & Windows versions are definitely different.  Why?  Not really sure.  They don't even LOOK the same.  The project file extensions are different.  They run on different engines.  Yip, pretty different.  There are some things that the Windows version does as far as how it handles zooming and transitions that the Windows version does that the Mac doesn't and vice versa.  Like I said, the Mac version is actually VERY similar to Screenflow.

To join in with JW on the evil side here though, answer this question, how many SME's ARE actually good at presentations and voiceover?? ZINGGGGGG!!! lol.  Ok, ok, ok, ok, yah, yah, yah, you do drive the content, but STILL!!

To continue the "evil" side of the discussion, the Adobe TV tutorials are hosted by SMEs who are both knowledgeable and polished speakers.

Robert.. that is very strange that they would be so different. I would think the Windows version would try to be just like Screenflow since there isn't much competition on the Windows side.

And good question about the SME stat's.. I would be curious too!!! Then when the SME's take over the instructional design... the "old" ID's can send THEM emails saying.. I have a really simple change, should take long. Can you just take that one word out from the narration of slide 71 and then make the % sign bigger on slide 81, oh then I prefer all the font to be Comic Sans size 19. And can you add page numbers to every slide. Oh.. more bullets please. I like at least 10 per slide. Oh... too many images, can you the Beanies from the Office clipart library? They are very effective... OHH.. and can you also.....

AARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
