Lectora Online 4.0 includes the following updates and fixes
The primary new feature of Lectora Online 4 is Seamless Play publishing. When the Publish for Seamless Play option is selected on the HTML Options tab during publishing, your title will smoothly flow from page to page, eliminating the screen wipe commonly associated with HTML pages. This is the new default option, and the biggest change in this release.
Audio and video will play automatically on smartphones and tablets.
Specify whether the object will maintain its location on the page within the view, even when the view is scrolled.
If you’ve selected the wrong character, there is no need to delete it. You can now change the character or pose on the ribbon.
Add a scannable QR Code to your title. Include plain text, web links, contact information, calendar events, and more. Continue reading “Lectora Online 4.0 Update”
We have added in target path support for external links. When the ‘external link’ action is added (e.g. to a button or text link), content creators can now specify the desired HTML target path destination (e.g. _blank, _self, _parent, _top) to determine how the link should behave when gomo content is embedded in an iFrame.
Playback of video content within a single HTML application is limited by the operating system to 17 videos. If an attempt to load an 18th video is made, the video will fail to load. We have implemented a number of enhancements to our video player asset to overcome this.
We have enhanced the video player asset to support multiple closed caption files (VTT) when used in a multi-lingual course. Content creators will now have the option to upload a vtt for each language configured in the course.
We have enhanced the hotspot asset to support XLIFF export / import of alt text content (shown when a learner hovers on a hotspot) so that alt text content can be translated when used in a mult-lingual course.
