I inherited an Articulate Presenter-based piece in which the audio was recorded at different times, using different microphones, etc. The voiceover talent was no longer available so I re-recorded using new voices. I always record using Audacity, but I find it’s built-in effects are limited and weaker than the ones in Soundbooth. After much trial [...]

Why I don’t Post Much (i.e., What do I do with this Blog?)
I’ve not posted much to this blog. Not nearly as much as I thought I would, anyway. I am going to start posting more often, but the problem is that I no longer do much elearning design or development (which was supposed to be the topic of this blog, hence the ‘elearninglive.com’ domain), and even [...]

Tracking Articulate Courses and Quizzes in Adobe Connect Pro Training

T-Mobile@Home Call Forwarding Options
Wish I had known about the excellent call forwarding options that came with the @Home service. If you do nothing else, at least look at the CALL FORWARDING IF NOT REACHABLE option. Can’t imagine why would NOT set that one up at least. In fact, after looking these over and knowing the issues we’ve had [...]

Interesting Captivate Links
Came across some good stuff over the past week. Usually I’m too lazy to blog about this stuff, but I gotta hand it to Microsoft – they suck at a lot of things, but Windows Live Writer kicks ass. Nothing else out there touches it. So, without further adieu…. Resize the Slide Notes Window Anyone [...]
One Year Review of Tmobile@Home Phone Service
Hard to believe but it was just over one year ago that I heard about the Tmobile@Home service and, unprepared, I walked into the Tmobile store and purchased my setup. But alas, it’s been a full year of using the service and although I haven’t blogged enough on this site I know a lot of [...]

Using the Adobe Elearning Suite Workflow – Can Substitue Fireworks for Photoshop
As I sometimes am too quick to do, I’ve been stewing for a while now, since the Adobe Elearning Developer Suite was released, about why they included Photoshop instead of Fireworks. I totally understand why they might do this – more Photoshop users than Fireworks. So last week I went out and bought a tutorial [...]
