To layer Lectora elements, such as buttons, on top of a Flash file that you’ve imported into Lectora, simply click on your animation and go to the properties tab. Next, select the parameters tab, add the parameter "wmode" in the name field and "opaque" in the value field. This will enable you to layer elements on top of your Flash file. This is a great tip if, for instance, you have an existing swf file that contains buttons, but you’d like to override the buttons in your swf file and instead use the buttons in Lectora.

P&G’s Long Partnership with Trivantis Yields Superior Results
Procter & Gamble, like many organizations, faces the constant challenge of training due to changes like new technology, globalizations, and organizational transformations. Traditional classroom training could not meet the pace of change nor the vast amount of global employees at P&G. The company’s mission has always been to provide high value learning when and where people need it, to do their jobs with excellence. To do this, P&G decided to use Trivantis’ authoring tool, Lectora, to build their web-based training. Right away, P&G noticed two important things about Lectora: it worked seamlessly with their LMS and it was simple enough for non technical people to learn, but was robust enough to provide experienced authors the functionality they desired. The impact of the web based training service line and vendor partnership with Trivantis over the last seven years has yielded astonishing results for P&G. They were featured by Bersin & Associates as one of the top five rapid eLearning universities in the United States. P&G now provides 94,000+ web based training downloads a month accelerating their rate of training by four years. At an estimated savings of $75 per download, P&G saves millions each month, reaching people that otherwise would be unreachable faster than ever. Savings come from the elimination of classroom instructors, elimination of time necessary to grade tests, reduction in training materials, travel elimination, downtime elimination, overtime elimination, reduction in translation costs, and room cost elimination. |
