Blog Post for Week 11

As we get closer to doing the Web-based module using scenario-based design, what are your biggest concerns?
My biggest concern right now is branching. I'm using one or two scenarios for my project. And I'm afraid it will turn into some story telling, that is, linear problem resolving that starts with the issue, and the solution can't branch out to different scenarios.

What skills would you still like to learn during this class (other than Web design)?
I wish I could have more time exploring what Captivate can do, and have an opportunity in class to talk about each software's capabilities and how using all of them can compliment the functionalities of each other.

What cool things have you discovered that you would like to share with your classmates?
Well, they may already know, but I just found out how to split audio tracks and actually insert a sound in the original sound track in Audacity. In the first podcast project, I had to use Camtasia to combine music and my recording.

What I also discovered in PowerPoint is: In "Customize Animation", you can start one sound, and manually set the seconds for all other pictures and texts to come in by going to Timing, and Delay. Another thing about embedding sound in PowerPoint is: the only file that could be embedded is WAV files, mp3 files need to be converted into WAV, and the program you can download is CDex, and here is the URL:
