I’m pixelled off with Adobe!

On August 5, 2011, in eLearning, by Stephen Maher

What’s my ’Point’? It should be Pixels!

Adobe, in their wisdom, decided that a good ‘enhancement’ for Captivate 5 would be to use (PostScript) points instead of pixels for font sizes. Groan… You would think that Adobe would know that most web types work in pixels, NOT points! Add to this the fact that everything else like frame sizes for text captions etc are still measured in good old pixels! What were they thinking?

What happened to choice?

It may not sound like a big deal since Captivate 5 does handle the font resizing automatically. But gee, I would have liked to have been given a choice between pixels or points. They obviously have a converter in the system to handle this, so why didn’t they empower their users by enabling them to choose? Just like they do in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc etc.

Top 10 things you can do to bring back the Pixels!

  1. Stamp your feet and keep shouting “I hate Adobe” at the top of your lungs until someone from the Adobe Captivate development team hears you – and changes the next release back to pixels
  2. Hire a lear jet with a giant flowing banner that reads “We want pixels!!!” and fly repeatedly around the Adobe headquaters in San Jose until;
    • a) they shoot you down
    • b) you run out of gas
    • c) they come out pleading and sobbing saying “stop, please, we’ll go back to pixels!”
  3. Take your copy of Captivate 5 and hurl it henceforth into the fiery pit of hell from whence it came (assumption is that some of us web types will actually know where the fiery pit of hell is – otherwise, a really hot barbecue will suffice)
  4. Start a new sect called The Pixel Front of Judea – or some such thing and hope that somebody cares
  5. Call an online focus group meeting (using Adobe products of course) denouncing all things Adobe
  6. Write a manifesto, grow a beard and go live in a forest eating only nuts and berries and train like a Navy SEAL  for 20 years then come back with a storehouse of weapons (somehow?) only to find that the Internet, Adobe, Points and Pixels have all been superceded by pure thought – thereby alleviating your need for a Pixel revolution. You showed em!  
  7. Go on a starvation diet until Adobe repent, or umm… you die, whichever comes first (go on, give it a shot, you never know your luck in the big city)
  8. Get really good at lying and backflipping – which will qualify you for a seat in the parliament or senate. Once there, use your new found skills to claw your way up the political ladder until you’re in a position to pass a bill banning all Adobe products!
  9. Be a passive aggressive – refuse to use any text in your eLearning development
  10. Suck it up, move on with life… and umm, stop writing trashy articles

I’ve chosen the latter. Humpf!

For those that haven’t taken up one of the options above and are actually still reading, here’s a nice Pixel to Point conversion tool that might help ease the pain.

How’s your omlette going?

My mission is to solve clients’ problems.

If we imagine for a second that the perfect outcome for a Project is to cook a nice golden omelette, then we can all agree that it’s certain that a few eggs will need to be cracked to get the right ingredients into the mixture. No eggs, no omlette. Steve Jobs from Apple knows a thing or two about making great ‘omlette’s” – but more on that later.

The THWADI Trap

Sometimes I come across people in large organisations that live (and die, read: get made redundant) by the old THWADI trap. As in “That’s How We’ve Always Done It“. This kind of thinking is based around fear. The fear of change. You know, the type of person who is totally opposed to any new idea. They’re the party poopers and show stoppers in an organisation that like to make a noise – including the entire world in their emails – and craving a reaction and/or a fight. Let me tell you, my experience is that they’re usually acting from a base of fear. Fear they might not be heard. They might not matter. They might not get noticed, promoted, congratulated, appreciated etc. So with this in mind; we can see that such a person really crying out for help and just needs to feel respected – show them that, and they’ll be your best buddy for life!

Change can be scary indeed – but, it can also “change” your life for the better. It’s not always a bad thing. I’ve personally experienced this fear in my own life so many times that I’ve lost count. Every time change rears it’s ugly head, the natural reaction for many is to stick your head under a blanket and hope that it (change) goes away. Usually it doesn’t – and sooner or later you have to get out from under the imagined safety of your comfy blanket and face the harsh reality barrelling it’s way towards you.  Some people are experts at change and thinking outside the box. Such a person is Steve Jobs from Apple Computers.

NOHADI – works better

Steve Jobs from Apple doesn’t suffer from the THWADI trap. He’s so brilliant at change and lateral thinking that he could rightly claim his own acronym – “NOt How Apple Does It”. He needs no introduction having brought the world such ground breaking products as the iMac, iPhone, iPod, iPad….  iKnow – he’s awesome! And Steve Jobs will go on breaking barriers and limitations that afflicts the vast majority of the world. You can bet he’s had to crack a few eggs on his way to making the perfect Apple Omelette (yum, nice pun!).

Time to crack some eggs

Back to our omelette. You do need to crack a few eggs to make an omelette. No arguments there. Then afterwards, don’t forget there’ll be a mess to clean up after the job is done. I don’t like to go around cracking eggs (read: ego’s) for no reason, but when I’m being paid the big bucks to see a project through to completion, if the thing that’s stopping me is an egg (again; ego), I’ll crack it without hesitation. That can sometimes be interpreted as aggresive or arrogant. I’d prefer to say it’s progressive – and my clients usually say “he gets things done”.

So if you need some help with your omlette, give me a call. If you need help with genius – give Steve Jobs a call.

Taking the ambiguity out of eLearning

On July 9, 2011, in eLearning, by Deb Wamsley

While most teachers are competent at keeping up to speed with technology and it’s applications  in their classrooms and most current generation students adapt easily to using new hardware and software – our  educational expectations have not kept up and are still tailored around pen, paper and books. We are sending our kids mixed messages by keeping one foot in the book.   We may be giving our students personal computers in the classroom and keeping teachers up-to-date with It training, but at the desk front we are still teaching traditional practices such as expecting compositions to be laboriously hand written, dictionaries to be used to correct spelling, reading and comprehension to be learnt from a limited range of books and teachers to spend hours marking paper tests.

What eLearning really means in education today is how teachers use technology to extend learning opportunities for students. Using computers in the classroom is no longer limited to research lessons using search engines and word processing. Today, eLearning is about integrating programs into the curriculum that can broaden student learning options and assist the teacher by providing quick and accurate feedback. For example, reading and comprehension lessons transferred from books to the screen can be used as a positive tool to engage reluctant book readers and questions and answers provided in an eLearning format can provide students with prompt feedback.  Imagine students not having to wait for the teacher to mark the work of 28 peers, but instead receiving computer generated results quickly and accurately. This ‘just-in-time’ delivery in the classroom would be a blessing for  the time poor teacher. eLearning programs enable more students to have the opportunity to be assessed in a shorter amount of time, with the added benefit that results can be more quickly and accurately reviewed and acted upon. Used in this context, the benefits of eLearning for the student and teacher become clear. 

Many educators are reluctant to raise their hand to say they are experienced in eLearning because there is still an uninformed belief that eLearning is about being a hardware and software expert.  Let us not lose sight of the importance of teachers being valued for their expertise in teaching and recognizing that they need only be ‘users’ of technology.  Similarly we should keep in mind that students also need only be ‘users’ of technology and that our goal of introducing technology into the classroom should be to better help them learn, not to create a generation of technological technicians. 

In the classroom our computers and technology will continue to update at a rapid rate and as users we will continue to up skill, but as educators our focus should remain on how to teach and learn with the technology. It is time to take the ambiguity out of eLearning.

Lateral Thinker Wins Top Job

On July 8, 2011, in Recruitment, by Stephen Maher

How would you solve this moral/ ethical dilemma?

Rumour has it, this cunning test was once used as part of an actual job application that attracted over 200 applicants. How would you have faired?

The dilemma

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

  1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die
  2. A dear old friend who once saved your life
  3. Your perfect partner that you have been dreaming about meeting all your life

Which one would you choose to offer the ride to, knowing that you have only room for one passenger in your car? Think carefully before you continue reading. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and so it would be morally right to save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to repay him. However, you may never be able to find your perfect partner again!

The candidate who was hired came up with this simple but brilliant solution. He simply answered: ‘I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. Then I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.’

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Always be alert for opportunities to think outside the box. Your life will accelerate in equal measure to how creative you are at this.

What are the best tools for building website protoypes?

Once upon a time Microsoft Visio was the natural choice for creating wireframes and IA for software or the web. Nowadays though, Visio is looking a bit like dry cornflakes compared to bircher muesli drizzled with a light banana and strawberry compote. OK, I’m no chef/menu writer, but you get the idea!

How do you pick the right Wireframe/ Prototyping tools for the job?

Today there would be close to 100 applications available for this purpose. That’s good – and bad. Good, in that it’s great to have so many choices. Bad, as in where the heck do you start?! Rather than trawl the internet looking for the key features of each tool individually, wouldn’t it be awesome if all this information was distilled in one place?

If only there was a good comparison chart…

Well, fortunately Metaweb has whittled down the list of hopefuls down to a ‘short-list’ of 18 products on the market today. Some are free but most have a varying array of pricing models attached from modest, to not so modest. So save yourself bucket loads of time and grab our Wireframe, Prototyping & IA comparison chart. It lays out all the key points and pricing details in plain English to help you get to what you need faster. Incredible, how much is it?

Well, it’s free! Visit our Wireframing Comparison Chart page here to download your free copy.

Secrets for testing online credibility

On March 7, 2011, in Online Scams, by Stephen Maher

How do you know if a web developer is who they say they are?

There’s more than a few unscrupulous web developers out there who purport to have created great high traffic websites to try to entice you to use their services. But if you ask them to verify their credentials as described below – you might find you’ll never hear back from them. I’ve done this on several occasions, that’s how I know they run for the hills – because they really don’t expect the average person to know this. Read on to learn more.

Google web site verification technique

Google has a very simple technique for website verification. Before they will allow developers and SEO companies to access information about web sites they “say’ they represent, Google will ask them to place a small piece of code (or a file) on the web site to verify that they have admin rights to that site. When Google crawls the site and finds the code or file – it knows for certain that the developer is who they say they are.

Check the footer

A quicker and easier way is to simply look at the footer of the website that the web developer claims to have built. Well, don’t just look at it, but click the link that identifies the developer. Usually you will find some text that say something like; “website designed by XYZ company”. This will usually link through to the actual developer who created the site. If it does not click through to the person or company you expect, you can be reasonably sure that they are faking it. Note: Bear in mind that many web developers have multiple sites for different purposes. So, before you write them off, send them an email from their contact page. If the same person responds, you’ll know they’re kosha – otherwise their response might be – “never heard of them”.  

Ask for a contact 

You might also like to ask the developer to ask for the name of a contact at the website so can verify the work they did. If they’re on the level and they have a happy customer there, they will happily supply a name who will vouch for them. However, if they come up with all kinds of excuses why they can’t do this, or worse, feign offence at being asked – be a little bit cautious.

Beware the web developer with hundreds of websites to their credit

Good web development and related specialties like SEO takes time. Lots of it! For instance, if a develper supplies a list of 200 great looking websites on their portfolio and says they have 3 years experience under their belt – this should raise alarm bells. One well known outsource/freelance website has hundreds of thousands of very high profile web sites listed by their thousands of impeccably credentialled web developers. However, if the site administrators instigated the simple Google verification rule to validate their claims, you would suddenly find that 99% of the developer’s web portfolio’s would vanish overnight – because there’s a lot of unquestioned fraud going on there. If they did this, it would allow the remaining developers to say here’s a list of my “verified sites” – and here’s a list of my non-verified sites, which would inform employers and instill much better confidence in the site’s credibility. But that’s unlikely to happen while membership and fees are paramount.

Remember, try before you buy

These are just some basic tips for newbies. Always remember when it comes to online - try before you buy. Make them prove their credibility by checking the footer or by asking them to replicate the little Google trick – or at least, provide a contact at the website that you call up and check before you invest a cent of your  money with them.

Scams on freelancer websites

On March 7, 2011, in Online Scams, by Stephen Maher
0

There are some freelancer websites around where you can get outsourced web development resources using a vast network of developers at a fraction of the normal cost. Sounds enticing, but be warned, you get what you pay for!

On one site I browsed through the extensive portfolio of one provider (from Sri Lanka) who had a marvellous array of impressive web sites. One site in particular caught my eye and I clicked through to examine it further. It was an excellent piece of work, I was suitably impressed and was just about to hire the guy.

But, I noticed that in the footer of the site it said the site was developed by another company. No big deal, most developers have several sites and link them all together in some way or another. So I clicked the link and went to the developer’s site. Now remember, this is the test of who the real developer is because they put a link on the site – which means they have admin access to the site.  I quickly realised there was no likely affiliation between this developer and the imposter back at the freelancer site. So I shot an email to the real developer and advised the situation. A few minutes later, his response confirmed my suspicions – the freelancer was indeed a fraud.

So, the old saying goes; “If something sounds too good to be true – it probably is”.

In summary, don’t be caught out by online fraudsters – do some basic background checks before hiring anyone to do anything online. Usually it’s really easy to spot a fraud. The quick piece of detective work I did above took all of 60 seconds and it was game over for the would be developer/scammer.

Adobe Captivate links not working

On February 28, 2011, in eLearning, Tech Talk Blog, by Stephen Maher
0

If you’re developing content in Adobe Captivate for a client on-site (using the clients computers) you may discover that your links to external web pages won’t work. This is not the fault of Captivate or your browser or your IT company blocking links (I know, it’s easier to blame them)!

Here’s the deal – you embed a link on a button, publish it and voila… it doesn’t work – nothing happens! You check all the settings, drink some coffee, scratch your head, tear out large clumps of hair (hopefully your own), your pupils dilate, you start breathing heavily with Niagara Falls tumbling from your furrowed brow, you swill some more coffee, start Googling and Tweating for a quick fix – but still nothing is jumping out at you. You slurp down ever more coffee, liaise with your colleagues, jointly condemning that cursed IT department, moan something about conspiracy theories then find the answer below. Eureka!

The problem is with your Flash Player’s security settings. These are NOT set by your IT system administrator and you can’t fiddle with your browser to fix it. It can only be resolved by using the the Settings Manager hosted on the Macromedia web site. IT administrators can’t block this as it’s hosted on an external site - they could of course block this direct URL to Macromedia but that would be highly unlikely.

  1. Go to this page at Macromedia >  (Note: The image shown on this URL is the actual Flash control panel for your Flash player – it’s not an example image).
  2. Navigate to Global Security Settings
  3. Click “Always allow
  4. Add the parent location to where your files are published (eg; in most cases just select C:\  or D:\  or wherever the root of your work is, if you’re working locally)

Once set, you should find your links now work as normal! You sit back, relax, replace your torn out hair clumps, unfurrow the brow, mop the sweat off your shirt, brag to colleagues that “you” fixed it and send the IT department a bunch of flowers (or maybe some Star Trek DVD’s) as an apology.

Righto, back to work!
