Conclusion

None of these approaches are perfect, but you'll have to choose one anyway. The best approach depends on the project, on your learners, and on your personal taste. Here are some general guidelines to help you make the best choice:

  • The size of the capture area should match the size of the application to capture whenever possible.
  • If you need to resize the project, take a bigger project and make it smaller to help maintain the best possible image quality. Also, make sure you keep a backup copy of the project at its original size.
  • Use panning only if you really need it.
  • When panning, move the camera (the red capture area) only when necessary, and move it slowly enough to help the students build a mental picture of the entire application.
  • If you use the Scalable HTML Content feature, make sure you test your work on an array of different screens and devices to ensure the best possible learning experience in the majority of the scenarios.
  • Responsive Projects can only be published...
