Activity progress bar in Articulate

By Michael Seery On February 13, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Sometimes there are several things going on in one Articulate presentation slide and the progress bar (Seekbar) at the bottom is not informative about individual activities occuring in a slide. I wanted to include an activity progress bar to show how long a video was going to take (and give a sense that what was [...]

Articulate: Timed response for game/simulation

By Michael Seery On January 16, 2011 · 3 Comments

I’m interested in creating an interactive simulation around a titration, whereby a student, watching a video of a titration, has to click a button when they see a colour change. I think this should be fairly easy to do in Articulate – I’ve made a Screenr of how I intend to do it [...]

By Michael Seery On February 26, 2010 · 1 Comment

Since coming across Articulate a few months ago, I’ve made quite a few presentations and loaded them onto our VLE.
