I heard a story of a radio and Television. In the beginning era of modernity, a radio in a house, which was the sole resource of entertainment, was deserted when a more sophisticated TV entered the house. The story was about a personified radio’s sorrow over the cruel neglectfulness by the family members.  Why now a story like this? Because, Artculate Storyline is the in thing currently, and no one actually remembers that they had depended much on Articulate Presenter formerly. However, I don’t want to be like the unkind people of that family. Here, I have created something in PowerPoint to show my attachment to it. Though the title suggests something I did in PowerPoint, I have achieved this effect with the help of Articulate Presenter. I know this will be an easy task in Storyline with the help of triggers. But, I wanted just to make sure that with a little effort, presenter also could do something close to Storyline. What I tried was to create the Fundamental Musical No...

Here is something which I learned quite recent in connection with the designing of e-learning modules. Before reading down, you should be well aware that the e-learning tool which I am talking here about is Articulate Presenter, not Captivate, Camtasia, or anything sophisticated.   You know about the side bar view of a module published in Articulate. There you have the option to sort the topics into titles and subtitles. The main titles appear along with either numbers or triangular shaped bullets, which point to the right side when we are yet to reach at it (►), and point to down when we are at it (▼). The below picture will clarify my today’s topic of discussion. As you all know, for defining main titles, and sub titles of 2nd level, 3rd level, etc.,  we need to go to the slide properties, and prescribe in the Level tab, the preferred level number in the corresponding column of the titles. For example, if you want ‘Topic A’ as the main title, and ‘Topic B’ a...

I am starting with the assumption that all of you are well familiar with the E-learning software 'Articulate'. It is a very useful tool as far as E-learning is concerned, and we can say, it is almost impossible to create effective e-learning tutorials without the help of a software, like Articulate. For making tutorials, Articulate mostly depends on the Microsoft's PowerPoint. Well, why should I tell all these well known facts to educated and well-learned people like you? Ok, let me just share some creepy observation, which I happened to notice, while publishing a tutorial. When you publish something in Articulate, it is almost like your system has some hysteria or fever. It won't allow you to do other things normally, or even if we are able to do it, Articulate's publishing components will be influencing it like an epidemic. Last day, when I was publishing a module in Articulate, I tried to do just a normal copy paste activity. I opened a web page, copied a text,...
