Do you have a great "hack" to share?

Dec 15, 2014

I am presenting "Traininghacks" at Learning Solutions 2015. Here's one from me:
http://businesscriticallearning.com/using-madlibs-and-concatenate-for-assessments/

I have a few others of my own for Storyline, Photoshop, etc...

But, I believe:

presenting great hacks > presenting just my own

If you have a great hack to share- I'd love to have the opportunity to learn it, and pass it along at Learning Solutions 2015 (of course, crediting the person submitting and not claiming ownership).

I am also tweeting findings at #learninghacks

Thanks!

Hi David!

Can you clarify a bit what you mean by "hack" ? Is that a shortcut, tip, or trick?

Thanks!

Yep!

Generally one that isn't obvious.

Here's one- a silly one- but I am surprised at how many folks don't think of it.

You need to transcribe some audio. Most folks listen to it (recorded call, video...) and type- or even pay to have that done.

Most folks don't think to give the mic on their phone a shot. You'd be amazed at how well it does, and saves a ton of effort.

Stuff like that.

I know there are a ton with Articulate (I have two hacks with Storyline I am presenting).

This is my favorite hack of the moment.

It explains how to extract media elements from a Powerpoint .pptx file.

Brent-
This is GREAT!

Do you have a twitter handle? I'd love to tweet out this one and ensure to credit you.

(Or alternatively, if you want to tweet it from your account to #learninghacks, that'd be great)
