At the end of our Articulate Storyline Advanced Day of training, we teach a feature called Sliders. It’s such a great feature to end the day with because sliders are so slick and easy to use, and “out of the box” look absolutely beautiful! However, people usually want more, right? Quite often, we’re asked, “Can I change the thumb on the slider?” or better yet, “Can I change the thumb on the slider when it moves along the track?” In this blog entry, we’ll describe how to adjust the visuals on
How Can I Leverage an e-Reader Style Glossary in My e-Learning Courses?
The questions we address here on The Articulate Trainer originate with questions that our students ask during our hands-on Articulate training. Some are unique, while others are more commonplace.

How Can I Time an Individual Quiz Question?
Teaching assessments during our hands-on Articulate training is one of my favorite portions because I often learn just as much from our students as they learn from me.

We all want to build that kind of course! The truth is, we have to work with real-life content that can make finding the balance between what is “incredible” and what meets the needs of your stakeholders
How Do You Keep a Storyline Course from Autostarting?
When building courses in Storyline, an important final step is publishing the course. Recently, after covering publishing in a Storyline training, we were asked this follow up question: “How do you keep a Storyline course from autostarting?” When hosting your course on a website, it may be challenging for your learners if the course begins as soon as the site is opened. We find this most common with courses placed on sites with multiple purposes, not just used to host the course. Due to the fact that the course is
