We explore all the variables of variables during our hands-on Storyline 360 training, and in doing so, we so often stumble upon e-Learning interactions that would benefit from a variable reset. Join us today as we answer this “as heard in training” question: “Can I Reset a Variable?” In Storyline 360 e-Learning development, there are many motivations to reset a variable, otherwise known as “initializing.” (And luckily, initializing a variable is easier than you might think—often requiring just one additional trigger.) Not only can initializing variables become necessary when developing
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
What’s the Best Method for Tracking Progress?
Learners are empowered when they can track their progress through a course, and at Yukon Learning, we find this to be a popular concept in both our custom course development as well as our hands-on Articulate 360 training! Why don’t we explore this “as heard in training” question today: “What’s the Best Method for Tracking Progress?” We’ve talked about displaying course progress using a slider and variables in the blog post, “How Can I Use a Slider as Progress Meter?” We enjoy and recommend that method for e-Learning developed in
How Do I Make a Reset Button?
Imagine you’ve created an e-Learning interaction (like a drag-and-drop or a tabbed activity). Then, you receive a request for a reset button that will allow learners to try the exercise again with a single push of a button! …Now what? As we’re creating interactive slides during our hands-on Storyline 360 training, the conversation around building reset buttons regularly arises. Why don’t we answer this “as heard in training” question today: “How do I make a reset button?” So, we want an activity with a reset button, just like our activity
How Do I Loop Motion?
We have a great time working with motion paths during our hands-on Storyline 360 training. Animation and movement can bring an e-Learning slide to life by increasing engagement or by illustrating a concept that may be best taught when an object is in motion. Well, what if we need that animation to continually repeat? …Like our space example here! Creating motion is fairly simple (and yet, versatile) and in doing so, we can determine where and how the object will move across the slide, not to mention the timeframe of when
