Do you recommend inDesign as a tool for creating learning objects?

I am considering InDesign and DPS to create multichannel tutorials (print, PC, iPad, Android phone, etc.). I need the ability to allow users to annotate/store notes and answer multiple choice questions. Suggestions?

May need to clear this up a bit! Do you have a question about Adobe Captivate specifically? It seems it would be better suited to your needs; Honestly, I doubt that indesign will be of great use to you.

I worked long and hard with ID and a bit with DPS. I don't see how you will use these tools to manage annotation/store notes. I'd be more inclined to distribute content to users and advise them to use a plugin, 3rd party for taking notes. With regard to the multiple choice questions: you can create clickable checkboxes in interactive PDF output ID, but I'm not so sure to do the same with the DPS content. Whatever it is, ID can't handle logic; you wouldn't be able to program the answers, to store the results, or something like that.

  • Tool for creating paths and not filling of forms

    I'm pretty sure that I am a fool here, but I just can't understand this stupid problem. I haven't used forms custom in some time, but whenever I try to create any shape, rather than the filling with my fill color, it creates multiple paths below. I can not turn that a selection, I can't fill it, I can't do anything with it. Please, someone, put me out of my misery! What I am doing wrong?

    Shape problem.jpg

    This tool can create forms, fills and path. If Fits draw a path with the tool in route mode that your display is what you get.  If you use the menu drop down and change of form.  The exact screenshot, this is what you will see.  However in route mode there are three buttons in the tool bar selection, mask and shape option. If you use the button shape that the path will be used to make a shape layer.

  • Is InDesign the best tool for this project?

    I work for a system large teaching hospital.  I was instructed to find a process to create 48 "X 36" posters that will be displayed in about 50 different units.  While the layout for each poster is the same, the data elements will be specific unit. Each poster will be a combination of curves, histograms, tables charts and comments (free text).  There has been discussions on adding specific images of unity. We will be updating the data items on these posters once per quarter, so I need a reproducible process.

    I'm a data guy, not a designer.  I can get the specific unit of data in any format that will work for the automation of this process.    I worked on a proof of concept for the use of InDesign and XML.  I am struggling with the cards.  I see two options (Illustrator and Chartwell fonts) but I don't see how I can apply the data to 50 units for the charts and InDesign can create posters. It works very well for the names of the units and the comments.

    Appreciate any idea that anyone may be able to offer.

    Thank you

    Carl

    Hello Carl,

    It can be done in XML. But I would look at the use of AI to create graphics. To HAVE, you can create scripts to automate a large part of the graphic work, maybe all this. The charting tool appeals to variables that can be loaded that contains the chart data, and XML files. Images are no matter if it takes that the shootings of units or individuals in the unit.

    If you wish, I can download an example of ZIP file that contains an ID CS6 file, two files HAVE that contain graphics, two XML files to ID containing the text and two files of variables used to create the graphs you will see in the file of ID. The screenshot below is using data from an example of poster PDF of a hospital, I got online, it's not mine. But for the example files, I like to use more or less actual data. The sample file uses about 1/3 of the sample PDF file for its data.

    Once it is open - and probably relinked as your locations are not me on the computer - you can highlight the root in the XML Panel, then import the second XML file and some data will be replaced (success is replaced by chess, the keys of the table and the graph itself). All this should be scripted. In that once the XML data are pushed through AI and AI has (via script) saved as numbered charts (or this as never the window), then a script to identity card could be written to load all the files XML, one at a time and produce a PDF for each unit.

    Please note that I have no examples of scripts for this process. However, there is a forum script that help you could ask if he has not already available scripts that could be modified for your application. I do this kind of thing (without using scripts) for a series of leaflets for a string of important regional auto parts. All XML, but that there is only a maximum of 8 variants, I manually load the XML file and produce PDF files.

    In any case, let me know if you want the data from the sample and I'll upload it and PM you a link to it.

  • Tool for creating media, Windows Bootable USB key problem

    Hey, when using of media creation tool to download and make N 8.1 Windows Bootable on my 64 GB Kingston, USB 3.0, the process gets all the way to the end before failing and say "sorry, something happened and we could not finish creating the flash drive in the drive I got access denied." So my question is; Why won't it work?

    Use the multimedia creation tool to download and save the .iso image file. Do not use it to make the USB. This prevents you wasting time downloading Windows 8.1 and then having to redownload as the tool does the USB incorrectly. Rufus makes the Bootable USB key. Its best to use a 8-32 GB USB flash drive and FAT32 format (64 GB will be truncated to 32 GB for FAT32).

    If you install in the UEFI with SecureBoot (new Security Technologies - made systems in 2012 or later systems in 2010-2011 may also have the UEFI BIOS with the latest BIOS update but the settings must be enabled) use the "GPT partition for UEFI computer scheme." Be sure to format it in FAT32 or the USB Flash drive will not start.

    If you install in a legacy systems BIOS for systems without a UEFI BIOS, then use the "partition MBR BIOS laptop scheme." Its also recommended to format the Flash drive to FAT32 but not necessary for a Legacy BIOS.

    See here where I demonstrate the procedure:

  • PlayMemories home: Tool for creating a disc in standard definition image quality (STD) (DVD-video disc) is not available

    Hello

    I downloaded Sony PlayMemories home and tried to save my videos from camcorder to a disc in standard definition picture quality (STD) (DVD-video disc), it is described here:

    http://Guide.playmemoriesonline.com/help/en/PC/PMH-disc.html

    After installing the plugin extra DiscAuthor, the tool 'Create disc' has only the following three options:

    1. Data disc
    2. AVCHD (HD)
    3. Blu - ray (HD) disc

    The Option "DVD - Video (STD)" is completely absent.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you very much

    Daniel

    Hi dagleich,

    Thanks for the information. The problem can be located on the format of your videos. I checked the model number and found out that your camera records in MiniDV. Unfortunately, video tapes and CD recording is not transferable on DVD using the House PlayMemories disks. Even with their conversion into files Mp4 Mp4s cannot be burned on DVD discs.

    I would recommend looking for a local camera shop that could help to convert your files and save them in another medium.

    To get help with your concern, we recommend that you visit our Sony Global Web site for more information on contacting Sony's Support Center in your area athttp://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.

  • Is ESX VMWare tool for distance learning classes?

    I'm trying to understand the VMWare tool to meet our needs, and Googling does not do me much good.  Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    I'm a software trainer.  I'm at a client site.  Sitting in front of me are 12 students who are here to learn how to operate a particular software.  Each of them needs their own separate PC that contains the installed package.  Each student must be able to start and stop services on this PC.  Now, I could install a separate VMWare image on each of their PCs, but it is about 15 GB of space that they have not necessarily available, and I have to trust them to delete their hard drives after class is over.

    OR... I could tell the students to 12 separate virtual machines running on a server remote back in my office.  I think it looks much better than 12 individual facilities on 12 PCs, that may not be appropriate for the task.

    So, what tool VMWare should I for it?  And once that is installed on the server at my Galactic headquarters in Timbuktu, how do students access a specific 12 images running on this server, in order to run programs and start and stop the services in this image exactly as if it were an image VMware installed on their own PC?

    Thank you!

    If it's something you need NOW, the best bet would be to deploy 12 VPC via vCenter or your ESX host, enable RDP on the VPC and RDP in each vPC.  This will give you access to each student for the own work station.

    Since space is a problem on the physical devices, then VMware Workstation may not be your best bet right now.

    Now you can take a look at VMware View

  • InDesign is the right tool for ebooks based on a browser (including videos and photos)

    This my first post, so please bear with me

    I am a teacher and I intend to write an eBook based on a browser (including videos and photos), accessible by my students, say, Safari or Chrome. Is InDesign the right tool for the job?

    Thank you!

    Probably not. It can create fixed EPUB3 of page layout files that can be found in the electronic book readers that support this standard. Currently, this includes iBooks (Mac OS X Maverick and iPad), readers of eBooks for Kobo and the plug-in on the browsers Chrome Readium. Support is growing and other platforms can support as well. But in general, InDesign does not create what you are looking for.

    You could try to build a Web site in Adobe Muse for use in web browsers.

  • Is - this true thawt is that adobe is going out of business?  They must be.  They no longer bear any disk authoring tools for all users of Premiere Pro make records of.  What the?

    Where is a tool for creating disk that is supported?  Told me that Adobe supports even more so there is no tool for creating discs.

  • What font would you recommend for a University newspaper?

    I created a new design for my University newspaper. What font do you recommend, and what style exactly?

    I would be happy to know your opinion and maybe even some still useful advice, since this is the first time I'm designing of a newspaper (I use InDesign CS3)

    Thank you

    Tom

    But seriously. For a newspaper, I would avoid without font ("Arial", Helvetica, universe, myriad). Why not try some of the rich classics? A few of them come on the InDesign DVD, but I don't know which. Minion Pro is a very nice, but perhaps too modern. Try Jenson Pro, Caslon Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. The 'Pro' means that these fonts have extended features, such as the former graphic ornaments (very pretty when used in the proper context!), style old numbering and true small capitals.

    Use a classic police will be your journal gives a very high class look. For a large page, you can use columns of three (or four); even on a smaller size of the page, two columns look better than one. It also gives you the advantage of having guidelines for one, one-and-a-half, two or even three images wide column and headlines. Try to go to a fully justified text; tinkering with hyphenation settings until it looks right (I think that default ID parameters are okay for the fairly narrow columns). Use a lot of spacing; This guy don't like being cramped.

    Use small caps to the recurring titles such as "CALENDAR"; 'FORUM '. 'LETTERS '. "EDITORIAL". Good headlines, you have the choice of what whether normal type (in a really huge size) bold or italic. Focus on columns for that look of the 18th century

    Whatever you do, don't run amok with different fonts! Use a font exclusively for texts 'main '; Use it in a smaller size for the "lesser" texts, such as the photo captions, tables or 'notes '. Don't let someone tell you about in screaming headlines! ; Once you decide on a design, stick and defend when necessary.
