Here at Yukon Learning, we love building interactive courses – it’s kind of our thing! Interactive elements are key components of e-learning. They’re the objects learners select to make things happen in a course, whether it’s revealing a new layer, submitting an answer to a question, or branching to a new section. While we often refer to them as “buttons,” they can actually be any selectable item, such as shapes, images, or icons. What the button does is important, of course, but often what the button looks like may become
How Can I Turn Content Library 360 Characters into Silhouettes?
One of my favorite things about teaching people how to use Storyline 360 is watching them have an “aha!” moment. Sometimes those moments come when showing a seemingly small trick, which opens up the possibility of building interactions differently. In this post, we’re sharing one of those tricks – turning a Content Library 360 character into a silhouette. And even better, we’ll give you a practical way to use it. So, get ready for an “aha!” moment as we explore this “as heard in training” question: “How can I turn
When Should I Use a Selected Versus Visited State in Storyline 360?
When it comes to building Articulate Storyline 360 courses, understanding states is crucial. After all, states are one of the building blocks of Storyline 360! A question that often pops up is when to use Selected versus Visited states. For beginners, these two states can seem pretty similar – you select or click on an object, and it changes appearance. But there’s a key difference! Read on as we explore this “as heard in training” question: “When should I use a Selected versus Visited state in Storyline 360?” You can
What Makes a Good Course, a GREAT Course?
Every year, the Yukon Learning development team develops hundreds of courses across multiple industries and topics. Many of these customers are e-learning developers who have taken Articulate training with us and create their own courses. We often receive questions from these developers/students about some of the less tangible aspects of creating e-learning courses. Recently someone asked, “We’ve taken training from you, so we know how to use Storyline; but how do we create courses that look like the ones you’ve built for us? How can we tap into the same
Why Isn’t My Icon Button Working?
In Articulate Storyline 360, triggers make it easy to turn almost any object on a slide into a button. You can create buttons out of shapes, pictures, Content Library characters, and of course, our all-time favorite – icons! Icons are popular in modern design, as it makes it easy for learners to quickly recognize and understand visual references (also known as “low fidelity” imagery). When playing with icons as buttons, we often receive questions when an icon button isn’t functioning as intended. So, let’s explore this “as heard in training”
