    Suggestions
    • ability add audio to other pages so courses can have narration
    • ability to add own logo for branding (important for company LMS)
    • less rigidity in graphic placement on simple pages
    • a simple PDF document/handout that explains the various templates and interactions so that a SME could know their options. It could be created from the Help content.
    Praise
    • best help files I have seen - they don't just explain how to use the software, they are a course on Instructional Design
    • simple interface but fully featured - I am asking my (large) company to consider using it - if it runs ok on our LMS

    Thanks for your feedback!  I have forwarded it to the team.

    I would like to add one important feature suggestion - the ability to change the default font size. It is very small and hard for many to read without craning towards the monitor - not too ergonomic. The ability to use bold and italics is helpful but the small font size is not. The same could probably be said for this forum - it's a tiny font. Even simple increase font and decrease font icons would be welcome and make for more attractive screen layouts.
    Maybe one other suggestion - a small test course would be useful for showing compatibility with an LMS. Something we could hand over to the IT department that would run the project and LMS through their paces and prove SCORM compliance and compatibility for them.
    Thanks for being open to suggestions.

    @Sam59 did you ever resolve this issue, we have people with the same inability to see the csreen without craning forward

    How about the ability to href images so they can pop-up or zoom in a new window?

    This is actually a great suggestion! Sometimes I want users to be able to view images without moving away from the corrent window.

    I know this reply is about a year late but I also had this problem and the only way I could overcome it was to manually change the presentation.css file which will be under the course/platform/styles directory in your course directory.  Changing it is not that hard, open it in notepad or some other text editor, search for font-size and you will see the font sizes for all the headings (h1 through h4) the normal text (p), and the lists (li).  If you just want to increase the normal text change the setting after the p{  Although once you have done this you will probably also want to increase the heading sizes as they will only be the same or smaller as your paragraph text.

    Normally I would not encourage messing around with a css file but in this case it seems to be the only option.  I would make a copy of it before you change it to be on the safe side.

    Dear Rennie:

    I changed the presentation.css as per your advice, and nothing happens.  Is there any other thing we have to look for?

    Thanks,
