As we move through Storyline training covering the various settings and features of the tool, I’ll often mention, “You might want to add this item to your QA checklist.” Many students have inquired about what is involved with creating such a list. Let’s discuss the benefits of using a checklist before passing your project on for either internal or customer review, and then some tips and best practices for compiling your own. Why the Need for a Checklist? Think about the last time you sent a course for QA (Quality
How Can I Use a Slider as a Progress Meter?
Many developers find themselves in need of a progress meter to show a learner how much is left to be completed in an e-learning module. There are several ways to achieve this in your course.
