Imagine…a cacophony of simultaneous noises and voices competing on the same e-Learning slide. Have you experienced such chaos? From the sounds of it, this blog post may be just for you. So, now imagine…an incredibly simple solution. During our hands-on Storyline 360 training, we work with audio in various ways. There’s ample opportunity for the aforementioned hullabaloo of overlapping sound and this common “as heard in training” question: “Why is My Audio Overlapping?” If you peek at our e-Learning example here, we’ve created a common click-and-reveal interaction with audio in
How Can I Trigger an Object to Change Size?
Perhaps you need to create the illusion of an object moving closer or farther away, maybe you want to animate data in an infographic, or you’re resizing an object to help draw learner focus to it. For these reasons and more, resizing slide elements is a discussion that comes up frequently during our hands-on Storyline 360 training. The objects in this blog are closer than they appear…as we answer this “as heard in training” question: “How can I trigger an object to change size?” As with many design solutions in
Can I Import States?
In Storyline 360, States help us change the formatting of objects as learners move through an e-Learning—from indicating which items are interactive, to which have been visited, or which objects aren’t yet available. We utilize states all the time in developing courses, not to mention that states are one of the foundational concepts in our hands-on Articulate 360 training. During Storyline 360 training, we learn to create custom states manually. However, while states are always simple to use, you might have premade graphics on hand that you simply want to
How Do I Loop a Video?
Video is a great way to communicate a message to learners in your courses! We’re often asked during our hands-on Articulate 360 training how to make a video automatically play over and over again or “loop.” Let’s look at how this can be done in Storyline 360! To begin, insert a video onto a slide via the Insert tab, be it Content Library 360 media or your own. (You may want to have your video fade in and fade out.

How Do You Get an Item to Disappear After the Learner Clicks?
State changes are sometimes overlooked by many new users in Storyline, mainly because they are apprehensive about how they can be used. A question was asked in one of my recent courses about how one might get buttons or other items to disappear when they were clicked. A specific use case might be if you are using a button to start the motion path of another object, but you do not want the button to distract the learner or be “in the way” of the object that is moving, or
