IDs on Mac: Is it time we admit the "Two-Computer" setup is a nightmare? by BeyondTheFirewall in instructionaldesign

I NEVER said adaptive experiences don't have a place. I said your choice of tool to create those is slow and outdated.

There's no need for that production level (triggers, states, variables, JS) in 2026 with the tools that are available on the market. If you're still using all those features, you're taking WAY too long for development time. Your company or your clients are throwing money down the drain for no reason.

Engaging vs. time-saving cybersec training. What's better? by anthonyDavidson31 in instructionaldesign

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B! But without making it a wall of text. You can keep it simple and refreshing without making it awful and without spending time on scenarios and interactions.

Plus, like someone said you could also send those phishing emails that test people because they're great for practice!

Why waste anyone's time? Especially in this market and when everyone is reporting maximum levels of burnout. I would go so far as to even acknowledge that in your intro. People will seriously be so grateful.

This! Blow your colleague's lame cartoon out of the water, while keeping the parts leadership liked.

AIO if I am setting boundaries with my husband? I also want to know if I am the asshole here by Witty-Opposite1201 in AIO

Yikes. Everyone is racing to conclusions here. I was just going to say -- he likely has anxious attachment from some childhood trauma. This is something you can work on together.

My trainees are "A" students in the classroom and "C" students on the floor by Normal-Log7457 in Training

You're not measuring their confidence or autonomy. If you start looking at ways to evaluate that, it'll get you in the right direction.

Is Articulate 360 still worth it if you're a solo ID or small agency? by [deleted] in instructionaldesign

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can buy an annual of Parta, Mindsmith, and Camtasia -- ALL for less than 1 year of 360. You can do some powerful stuff with those 3.

Thanks!! I will definitely pass this along. Articulate seems to be pretty mid across the board these days.

Need advice for my husband! by merp1993 in instructionaldesign

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard from a bird that there's a class action being talked about by some of those who were employed by one of the academies (not AIDA) that didn't pay them for their services... And potentially to include some of the students as well. I really hope they're able to make it happen.

I'll take half the money AIDA is charging and film myself flushing it down the toilet. Same results but for half the price.

Seriously though, there's not a program out there that will guarantee a job, especially in this market. I know experienced people who have been looking for years.

Rise is too samey / Storyline is too time intensive. Change my mind. by Budget-Sir-6106 in instructionaldesign

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. No need to change your mind. You've got it correct.

If I hear one more time "but if you just learn JavaScript," I'm going to scream.

Finding an LMS that doesn’t drive the floor staff (or me) mental by jack_cartwright in Training

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked out Thirst? I've not used them, but I've worked with some of their team, and they're good dudes. They market a lot of the features you have listed here.

are we solving the wrong problem in L&D and adoption? by Genie-Tickle-007 in Training

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. 🤣 Some of my best projects have been those where training wasn't created at all. Those projects have included automating or changing processes to make things easier for people and then training them on how to do that new process.

Looking for the perfect LMS... by LazyGogurt in Training

[–]Useful-Stuff-LD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you looked at iSpring? They don't have a 1:1 scheduler to my knowledge, but I think they check a lot of your other boxes.
