Awesome! Just what I need cause now I am doing very similar project. Good for inspiration.

Thanks, Yekaterina! I feel like we should should do more with screen simulations since it's one area that doesn't get a lot of attention. Glad to hear you like this example!

That is pretty awesome David. I love how you use the little notebook for instruction!

Thanks as always, Jeff. I'm not digging the font as much as I did when I build the sample, but I do like the notebook concept.

Is there a fix in the works to get the letter f to display in Review? I just finished a clinical course that had to recommend to nurses that you need to clean after every shiFt and bowel movement. We got a lot of giggles but It might be nice to have been able to read shift properly. ;)

@Lisa - Okay that is kind of funny. I was able to confirm that there aren't any issues with the letter "f" in Review. Most likely there's something wonky with your keyboard. If that's not the case, can you please open a ticket with you? Here's the link: http://www.articulatecase.com/

Nice take on a software sim. Love the tutorial available in lightbox and the use of the side notes - thanks for sharing DA.

Where did you find the notebook image? Will you share?

This is great David, thanks for sharing. Is there an ideal story size for a project like this? I find that in this project and others with "form based" simulations the capture screen is a tad blurry. Does anyone have thoughts?

Hi David, Sorry, can you help me, how i can insert the simulation in the same slide that the instructions? I try but the simulation appear in all slide

This is great! I love the use of the notepad instead of the menu.

This is great, I like that you dont have to be "exact" with caps and non caps when typing information into the fields

Thank you for sharing this - it's so polished, light and easy to follow! I love the notepad, too.

Woah! Thanks so much for the awesome feedback, everyone! I was traveling all week and totally missed your comments and questions. I'll follow up with each of you later today!

I am new to Articulate. Can someone share steps to replicate it? I am not very sure how one can add notepad for the demo as shown in the example. Thanks

Hi David! I like this a lot. I have the same question as Luis. When I insert the step-by-step (try mode) it fills the whole screen and covers the notebook. Do you know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

David, GREAT work! What is your estimate of developing this module?

Awesome!!! However....nevermind probably should have watched the tut first :-)

Hi folks! Here's a quick tutorial on how I built this software simulation: https://community.articulate.com/articles/extending-slide-size-in-software-simulations/

Great tips David - thanks for the inside info on how you did it!

Hi David, this link doesn't seem to work. I am only able to see the demo. Would love to see the video tutorial. This looks amazing and I am sure I can learn lots from the tutorial.
