can anyone shed some light on how credits and burned for the Articulate Rise localisation add-on? Is it when you hit the translate button or when you export the translated version? For example, if I translated a course on a Monday in Rise, got it signed off and exported for use in our LMS on Tuesday, but then realised we needed to add an additional block of text to the original language version on say the Friday and then translate that bit and re-export it, would I burn another credit or would it count as an included update? For context, we use separate scorm files per language in our LMS. many thanks in advance. submitted by /u/analogue-tech [link] [comments]
My company is looking at Filtered.ai for content intelligence. Basically, see what we are and are not using, and align our library with our skills taxonomy. Anyone have experience with it? TIA! submitted by /u/Quarantina1975 [link] [comments]
Building a course in Captivate 13, delivered through Docebo, with a bunch of embedded MP4s (1.5-5 min each, 1080p) plus quizzes and other interactivity in the same package. Not streaming through Vimeo or Wistia, actually embedded in the package itself. From asking around, it sounds like it's not really about how many videos, it's about individual file size and total package size. Most people I talked to keep videos around 80-150MB each and the whole package well under Docebo's 1GB cap. But nobody I've found has actually tested this at real scale, like 30+ videos, across different connections and machines. Just one-off tests. Has anyone actually built something like this and had it work consistently for a real, varied group of learners? Or had it fall apart even though it looked fine in your own testing? Trying to get past "it worked for me" and figure out what actually holds up once real people with real connections start using it. submitted by /u/NovaNebula73 [link] [comments]

We’re hiring for an internal role. Both of these candidates are SMEs and trainers, but neither have a background in instructional design. Spoiler alert - neither do I, but here we are. We’ll need to teach both of them the science of effective learning as well as design basics. I’m torn on which person would be a better fit. Candidate A has a creative eye and puts a lot of thought and effort into making training fun. But it was also a bit of style over substance and she’d need to learn how to make training effective, not just fun. Candidate B is less creative and said that it would be a bit of a challenge, but she could learn. Her approach was a lot more basic and she basically copied an activity we’ve already done. But she said that she cares more about solving the training problem over the creative piece. Who would you hire in this situation? submitted by /u/ElevatorEmergency678 [link] [comments]

Good morning! I work for a small family owned business that employs technicians for environmental testing and natural gas mitigation. They're pretty disorganized and I'd love to help them start to streamline some processes. They've definitely been flying on the premise of "we'll tackle it as it comes" and I can't function like that lol what's the best way to create a job manual? I'd prefer if it was free or low cost and something I can integrate a table of contents for as well. I'm familiar with Word, LibreOffice and Google Docs but wasn't sure if there was a better way to go about it before I got too far into it or any templates anyone suggests. This would be more for the office side than the technicians. I appreciate the help! submitted by /u/SpicyLlama_329 [link] [comments]

Hi everyone, I’m exploring the idea of building a short-form video library for audiences who are not comfortable with English. The content would be broken into small learning nuggets, and each video could be dubbed in a selected set of languages so viewers can choose the version that works best for them. I’d love your thoughts on a few things: - What is the best AI for this, paid versions are fine as well. - What makes a multilingual video library easy to use? - How should language selection be presented so it feels simple and intuitive? - What are the best practices for dubbing short educational videos? - Are there any formats, features, or user experience ideas that work especially well for non-English speaking audiences? - What mistakes should I avoid when designing this kind of content? Any practical suggestions, examples, or lessons from your own experience would be really helpful. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/Wolfmaster_29 [link] [comments]
Hi! I’m new to Instructional Design. I was lucky enough to land an ID role just last month after transitioning from being a Corporate Trainer. The company I’m with now relies heavily on AI specifically Claude. As a new ID, I want to build a strong foundation and not become too dependent on AI, especially when it comes to designing courses. Here, almost everything is created with the help of AI. My concern is that if I rely on AI too much, I might struggle in the future if I move to another company that doesn’t use the same tools. I don’t want to always look for AI instead of knowing how to build a course from scratch. How do you deal with this, fellow IDs? submitted by /u/ScribbleSensei [link] [comments]
I’ve spent most of my career working in fast-paced environments. I genuinely love them. But… they’ve also been exhausting. I’m neurodivergent, and over the years I’ve realized my brain simply isn’t wired the same way. What I’ve struggled with most hasn’t been the work itself. It’s been the systems around the work. The documentation. The training. The constant assumption that everyone processes information the same way. I often find myself thinking, “Things don’t have to be this hard.” Sometimes, I simply feel like things aren’t… well… clear. Am I alone in feeling that way? If you’ve had a similar experience, I’d genuinely love to connect and exchange perspectives. I have a feeling I’m not the only one navigating this, and I’m curious to hear what has actually helped, especially when organizations adapted the way they designed their operations, documentation, or training. Thanks. submitted by /u/No_Reference1192 [link] [comments]

Hello! I am an American who recently moved back to Valencia, Spain to join my husband. I now have a residency permit here, and I speak both English and Spanish. I have been teaching in the United States and abroad since 2018, including teaching English in Spain for three years. With my recent move back to Spain, I'm trying to figure out what my next career move will be. I have a bachelor's in Education and a master's in Instructional Design. Additionally, I've developed a strong interest in digital marketing, so I'm currently taking the Google Digital Marketing certification course. While I do love teaching, I'm ready to expand my professional experience outside the classroom and transition into other roles, such as higher education, or potentially marketing. When I first moved to Spain in 2020, I moved here on my own, and I loved every moment of that experience. Because of that, I've also been considering a career in study abroad advising. I appreciate any responses! submitted by /u/P
I'm planning to work on my portfolio by Q3 of this year, hopefully after I sort out matters with my initial job to help me free up my schedule. As someone who wants to transition into instructional design for corporate, what portfolio catches your eye? Are you looking for a variety of options in a portfolio or do you focus more on the quality of each? Thank you for your insight! submitted by /u/TannieBantootz [link] [comments]
A colleague and I were talking about cognitive load theory and how to explain it to SMEs. He described CLT as the best use of a limited mental budget. I about fell off my stool.

Ok so all LMS vendors will tell you this, We're constantly updating features and we're curious where users here actually land.

We brought in someone from the outside to optimize our video workflows. I'm stunned at what an expert has been able to accomplish. We plowed through subtitling 310 video clips totaling more than 10 hours of content in less than two hours using scripts that this woman built for us, including the translations! They all tested out with a flaw. It's amazing to see how fast files can be processed when they are freed from a GUI. We were told that Apple silicon has some superpower that make this possible. That was news to me, but the results were awesome. It's got me looking for other workflow improvements. What have you done to accelerate your processes? submitted by /u/rfoil [link] [comments]
Hiya! (I'm new here, so if this has been answered already, please point me in the right direction) So, my company (as many others) loves Articulate Rise 360, but I (who actually use it) am not as happy I have been trying to find arguments in favor of other tools like Easygenerator, Captivate, or any other, to propose them for our next learning design cycle Do you have experience with these or other tools? What would you recommend or not recommend about them? submitted by /u/OtherSuggestion729 [link] [comments]
Hello, so I recently started a position as an instructional designer and honestly I feel very out of my depth when it comes to creating storyboards on dense material. Storyline and Rise are my jam and definitely have a lot of fun and interest in using the software, and I have a graphic design background so creating assets is not a problem for me. But storyboarding has become this insurmountable task and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on creating learning material from documents that it’s very difficult to make heads or tails of. The thing about working with SMEs is I don’t even know where to start the conversation with them. ”What do we want the learner to know by the end of the course?” is a start but then it comes to a halt and I get stuck. I‘ve had a very “fake it til you make it” attitude and the lessons I create people like, but those storyboards were created for me. Making storyboards from scratch is very difficult for me. Any advice appreciated. Thank you! submitted by

I have spent a long time in L&D, most recently as a CLO, before that in learning roles at a few large organisations. I wanted to share something with this group. We put real effort into hiring the right people. Then performance is still a problem, and the usual reaction is to blame the people or throw more training at it. I am less and less convinced that is where the issue sits. In most places I have worked, the talent was already in the building. What was missing was the conditions for them to perform: the time to practice, the manager actually involved, work designed so they could do the job well. I keep landing on the gap between knowing and doing. We are good at handing people content. We are not nearly as good at building the conditions where they get to apply it and improve. To be upfront, the reason this is on my mind is I am doing a webinar on it at the end of the month with Laura Overton, who has spent around 20 years researching what good performing L&D teams do differently.
