On Friday, I did a variety of different things:
- I finished making the edits that Roxanne suggested in our Thursday meeting and created a new video for the catalog vs. database module.
- I tried to import flash files produced from Camtasia into Captivate, to no avail. When you produce your project in Camtasia, one of the options is to create a flash file (the default is a SWF file, but FLV is also possible). You can then insert flash into Captivate slides (FLV). Even so, I couldn't get my Camtasia videos to work within Captivate. This is something I'll be asking Matt about on Monday.
- I created interactive slides for the keywords and controlled vocabulary module. This is where students are asked to create a hierarchy, given a list of terms. I still have to decide exactly which way to present each question:
- Format #1 - as fill-in-the-blank question slides
- Here, the input is handled in the same manner as it is for all other question slides.
- Visually, it's not as appealing because you can't completely hide the fill-in-the-blank phrase (it appears as a miscellaneous "<" on the screen), and you can only have up to 8 blanks
- Format #2 - as a blank slide with each text-entry box inserted separately
- This creates a submit button for each box (which you can hide) - I'm not sure if the reporting is equivalent to that for question slides. This is something to ask Matt about.
- It's more visually appealing and you can add as many text boxes as fit on the screen.
So the main things I need to do next week are add audio and integrate Camtasia and Captivate portions for each module.
