Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to host a great web conference. Marshall Makstein from eSlide and Jordan Rich from WBZ and Chart Productions joined me in presenting a Best Practices session on script writing, slide design and narration. The content was very well received, we've split the replays out into the three presentations below so they're more digestable. I hope you enjoy these presentations and have a Sharktastic Day!

Earlier this week we hosted a web conference that covered the key elements of multimedia presentation design - scripting, slide design and narration.  I was fortunate enough to be joined by Marshall Makstein from eSlide and Jordan Rich from WBZ and Chart Productions.  A replay will be posted in this blog next week, but I wanted to post the portion I discussed which was the Best Practices for script writing. 

Script Writing is challenge for many folks but I came up with 10 tips to help you build a great script and a successful presentation.  I hope you enjoy it and you have a Sharktastic Day!

Completion Criteria: The Greatest Little Feature You Never Knew You Had!

Not taking advantage of Brainshark's completion criteria?  Why not?!   It's easy to set a minimum bar of how much audio your viewing audience is required to listen to, how many slides they must view, as well as what score they must achieve on examination questions.   Authors can easily set completion criteria right from the Presentation Properties tab.

So now that we're all excited about completion criteria - let me tell you about how we've made it even better!  We now offer a completion indicator that can be displayed on the Brainshark player, so your viewing audience is aware of their progress.  You can even choose to share with them the details of their progress, either by making the new indicator a link to a summary of their completion status, or by using our branching feature to link to their results when complete.  

We invite you to check out these great updates available on September 11 (as well as a shiny new 'Users by Folder' report) by viewing the following Brainshark:

 

Enjoy the updates - and keep that feedback coming!
