It was all going so well too, had our sixth meeting today and showed our progress with our projects and I must say, they're all looking great. Like I know for a fact everybody's will be of benefit to the entire medical school and think that future students should get quite a bit from these resources.
But the problem. Well as I mentioned today, my PowerPoint animations and colours are not really moving very nicely between PowerPoint and Articulate. Now this is not very good as Articulate is the viewer that I am going to have to use to allow my project to have its learning resource functionality, so I either need to find out how to make it transfer a bit more smoothly or come up with some form of alternative.
The best thing about Articulate is it means I can stop users from skipping ahead in the presentation and can prevent the presentation from running through the slides in the order they are created in. A solution in PowerPoint would be to run the presentation in 'Kiosk Mode'. This works well until I get to the slides where I need animations to start as soon as the slide opens, but I don't want the slide to automatically progress to the next slide. For some reason in these slides the animations do not begin until something is clicked, which is something I would like to avoid.
Does anybody have any ideas as to how I could solve this, it may be hard to visualise just from my description, so I will demonstrate the issue at Tuesday's session, but for the next few days I'm definitely going to be working on it and trying to find some form of fix.
Or possibly if +Tom Kuhlmann, who writes The Rapid E-Learning Blog had any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
