When wrapping up our hands-on Articulate training, attendees are chock-full of new information and are ready to get started. While that’s exciting, there are sometimes concerns about returning to work and actually developing e-Learning without the aid of a trainer. So, let’s visit the common “as heard in training” question: “What resources do I have available now that the training is over?” As with anything new, we all appreciate support and guidance as we get started. Luckily for new (and even experienced) developers, the Articulate tools are incredibly supported. There
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. It never fails that we have great discussions about methods people use for creating quiz questions, and sharing those methods only helps us grow as e-Learning developers. Recently, a student who also happened to be a firefighter asked, “I know we can time a quiz as a whole, but is there any way I can time quiz questions individually?” He went on
How Can Learners Explore a Larger Document in My Course?
We love getting these kinds of questions in our hands-on Articulate training. Why? They address real issues that most e-Learning developers deal with every day. If it were up to us, all e-Learning courses would look incredible with great graphics, with fewer words on screen, and everything would be highly interactive…maybe even fun. 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
How Can I Create a Space for Learners to Write Notes in My Course?
During a recent Rapid e-Learning Design course, one of my students asked if it would be possible to create a “parking lot” space where her learners could write notes as they went through the course. She also asked if they would then be able to see a summary of those notes at the end of the course and print them for their review. Although there are many different ways to design something like this, most options will likely involve some use of text variables. After doing some further experimenting in
