SCORM Cloud with WP e-Commerce Integration

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Sun, 04/10/2011 - 18:48

We've extended the already great SCORM Cloud Wordpress plugin to integrate with WP e-Commerce. Now you can easily create a wordpress website to sell or give away your own content hosted on SCORM Cloud.

You can download it from our GitHub repository: https://github.com/BuiltClean/SCORM-Cloud-with-WP-e-Commerce-Integration

If you are looking at this plug-in and find it's not quite right for you, we would be happy to help you customize it for your own requirements. Contact us and let us know what you would like to do.

Cheap #Articulate Skins! And Full Featured Skins Too.

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Tue, 08/31/2010 - 09:20

I'm glad to roll these out!We have been building custom skins for clients for a while. Now we have taken a lot of what we learned and used it to build these skins. There are many more features in these skins then in our previous ones. Of course features like these increase the development effort and therefore price. But I still wanted to find a way to get these out to the community at a decent price. So we are using a tiered arrangement. If you don't need or want all the new features we still have an inexpensive option. And if you only need some of the options there is a middle tier for that too.We hope to roll more of these out soon (if you have any design ideas feel free to forward them).And we will continue to make simpler fun skins too.

Check out the feature list here:http://elearningenhanced.com/articulate-skins

Here is a quick screenr highlighting some of the features.

Customizable Custom Articulate Skin!

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Tue, 06/22/2010 - 10:02

I thought it would be cool if everyone could make their own Articulate skin! This skin allows you to use any graphics you want for the navigation. And you can place them left, right or center. This skin is fairly simple... no menu, tabs, etc. But it does handle branching and locked slides appropriately. Actually... Branching/locking is one of the features you should make sure any skin you use has...

Articulate Engage Interaction (iPad theme)

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Thu, 06/03/2010 - 10:05

This is my second custom Engage interaction and boy have I learned a lot! My next project just might be to rewrite the documentation for the Engage SDK... This interaction was inspired by the new iPad. You can use the standard Engage options to turn the navigation on and off... and you can lock it to linear playback.

Low bandwidth HTML #Articulate player w/Audio (reports to LMS too!)

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Thu, 05/13/2010 - 13:36

I am thrilled to post this. My partner and I have been working hard this last week or so to build an Articulate player that does not use Flash! And is still AICC / SCORM compliant! This solution will offer folks a way to view your content in low bandwidth situations or in browsers that do not support Flash. Like iPad, iPod, iPhone, Droid, etc, 3GS or better; soon we will a solution for older iPhones. Well.. It works now on older iPhones but the audio pops a new window... Some highlights:

Automatically adds HTML feature when/if you add PNGs of slides
Automatically adds embedded audio if you include files
Automatically switches to HTML if no flash is detected (and pngs are present)
Notifies LMS when course is complete
Uses HTML5 and degrades nicely for IE

UPDATE:

Now has slide index at bottom to allow user to jump to any slide.
Embeds audio player in IE

This widget will let you hide the Title bar and/or navigation controls in Articulate Engage Interactions. Simply edit an XML file to select which interactions are effected.Watch the screenr for more details.Two Notes:1. It may not work on all "Community" Interactions.2.

Chromeless Articulate Skin

This skin is dead simple. Just your content. No navigation. It was inspired by @slhice's use of one of my other skins to create a website. Play with a demo here: http://frameentered.com/demos/Chromeless/player.html Buy it here

Track Flash Variables across multiple Articulate slides

Submitted by eLearning Enhanced on Sat, 02/06/2010 - 10:34

How do you get multiple Flash files to track the same information across multiple Articulate slides?

The key lays in Flash’s _global property. The _global property refers to an object that exists at the highest level of a swf and is therefore accessible by any other swfs loaded into it. We can take advantage of that by tucking our variables into it.

The two key things to remember here are:
