Run While Editing: Upgrades and Control In the latest edition of ZebraZapps, we’ve enhanced the ability for authors to immediately test projects as they’re being built and edited. As before, ZebraZapps provides the unique and invaluable ability to run projects while you’re editing them (and edit them while you’re running them). For example, you can conveniently trigger button actions and see if they perform as desired without having to switch to run mode. Now, with this relea

Asset replacement in ZebraZapps has always been a powerful concept, allowing authors to quickly turn interactive sketches into production-ready, quality learning events. However, asset replacement (images, audio, video and gadgets) has been limited in scope to the current event that an author is working on. This month that changes. ZebraZapps authors now have a powerful new asset / project management goodie: project-wide asset replacement. Authors are now able to replace any

While the manifesto itself is not meant to be “learned,” there are plenty of tips and tools that can help you practice the principles of the manifesto in your real-world designs and projects.

Keypads in your e-learning apps can help make a big difference with inputting numbers. A simple keypad in a gadget allows your users/learners to input a decimal point anywhere in their answer. By default, this keypad includes a US dollar sign and rounds to two decimal places. But of course, like all ZebraZapps Gadgets, the specifications are editable by authors.
