Blurring text for privacy
I'm building courses for the staff at a college and it is sometimes necessary to display personal information on students in screenshots. Is there a way to blur this information to keep it private?...
I find it both hilarious and concerning that so many posters expect Articulate to address their data integrity concerns, while continuing to engage in unsafe PII practices. Don't want a stranger walking into you house unannounced? Lock the bloody door. Don't want the dog chowing down your dinner when go get a drink? Don't leave it in a location the dog can easily get to. Don't want sensitive information to get out into the wild? Don't capture screens from a production system with sensitive information on it in the first place. This isn't rocket science.
It's too simplistic way of thinking. Clearly you haven't worked for a large multinational companies with their immense IT and high security demands on one hand and various systems on the other hand which you have to build a simulation to learn the complex systems using real data because there are no sandbox available. If you are using Articulate to build simple things for elementary school, then you don't need anything particular. Just try working for multinational company and demand them to purchase a sandbox on existing systems because you need to build a training simulation. Then you will know what we are talking about.
you are totally right, my friend, "just ask them to purchase a sandbox" and see yourself growing old :))))
I guess being an eLearning architect for a Fortune 300 financial company which is nearing its 100th birthday, a Fortune 50 device medical manufacturer which is 130 years old, a global training provider, a Level I Trauma Center, beta tester for the Tier 1 eLearning development companies since 1995, eLearning conference speaker in the US, UK, and Netherlands, and 30 years in the industry isn't enough for noobs like you. Try working for an organization which is regulated by one or more entities including the FIO, NAIC, OCI, FDA, EMA, PDMA, FCC, Joint Commission, and/or DSPS, and let's see how flippant about PII you are.
All legitimate national and multinational organizations use multi-tiered environments for development and testing, loaded with dummy data, prior to deployment to production. If you don't understand the DEV/TEST/UAT/STG/PROD progression and SDLC, you can just sit on your hands at this point.
But sometimes we need to train staff internally. With FERPA we cannot have actual student names. But staff still need to learn the student information systems.
