As course designers, it’s important to have a variety of training solutions in your toolkit. This means being able to identify when to design something simple and informal and when a project needs a more custom, performance-based solution..

        Thank you! The red underline thing is done by playing the PowerPoint show in Presenter mode, and using the Ink Tool to draw on the slide.

        You can download the PowerPoint, if you want, to see how it's done: https://goo.gl/btDEhj

      Hi Tracy - Do you want to try something similar w/ your available tools? Something like a narrated slideshow with simple annotations?

    While I don't have much need to develop on an iPad, this challenge gave me an excuse to play around with Preso. While very limited, in a pinch, I can see the benefit of being able to very quickly create a professional looking video. This is a very simple example and very 'off the cuff' but it took me about 15 minutes and looks like it took a lot longer - gotta love that!

      This is nice and the audio is pretty good especially when you can produce it in 15 mins!!
      I was going to do Preso but, had to give up my iPad to my daughter for school : (

      Thanks for this Alexander! Hadn't heard of Squigl and just had a look and came away with a nice little useable piece of content.

    David,

    This is a set of videos I created using Monosnap that is a free product with some interesting features including the ability to write on videos, record games, and other features. I used the record desktop feature for this demonstration on using PowerPoint and Storyline to create interactivity.

    This is the project http://bit.ly/2i3SeHR and there is a copy on my blog http://practicallearningconcepts.com/blog/powerpoint-and-storyline.

    Thanks, Jeffrey Riley
