During our hands-on Articulate 360 training, when we’re working with shapes or images in Storyline 360, we sometimes encounter the need to make those objects semi-transparent. Today, we’re answering the “as heard in training” question: “How Do I Create Transparency?” Adjusting the level of transparency can be a great way to control the vibrancy of an object or add a level of subtlety to your courses. In our example here, we’ve illustrated a few practical use cases for transparency: On the first slide, we’ve added transparency to the background image so
Why is My Audio Overlapping?
Imagine…a cacophony of simultaneous noises and voices competing on the same e-Learning slide. Have you experienced such chaos? From the sounds of it, this blog post may be just for you. So, now imagine…an incredibly simple solution. During our hands-on Storyline 360 training, we work with audio in various ways. There’s ample opportunity for the aforementioned hullabaloo of overlapping sound and this common “as heard in training” question: “Why is My Audio Overlapping?” If you peek at our e-Learning example here, we’ve created a common click-and-reveal interaction with audio in
How Can I Distribute Items Evenly Across the Slide?
Do you feel that aligning objects in Storyline 360 is critical to your design? Do you ever happen to see items on screen that are not aligned, cringe, then feel the dread of hoping that your colleagues didn’t accidentally see before you fixed it? You’re not alone! We’re often asked how to distribute items evenly, so we’ve whipped up just the blog post you’re looking for! Effectively using space in your layouts is critical and can lead to eye-catching designs. When it comes to lining up items (like images or
What if I Start a Slide With a Zoom Region?
In our hands-on Articulate 360 training, we talk about how Storyline 360 makes it easy to create engaging content. Zoom regions are one of the many compelling slide treatments that we explore in our training sessions, and they provide a simple, sleek, and effective way of drawing your learner’s attention to a specific area on a slide. Since zoom regions are Timeline-based, we experiment with this aspect of timing when practicing zoom regions in class, and it provides some interesting results! We’re often asked, “What if I start a slide
What If I Need the Stops in My Slider to Be Uneven?
In the final portion of our hands-on Advanced Storyline 360 training, we end the session with some fun, easy, and favorite features of mine: sliders and dials! During this segment, we task the students with creating a fairly simple interaction that we use often: showing a timeline of events. In that exercise, the slider has eight stops, and the stops are equal distance apart. When teaching this, however, we’re often asked, “What if I need my slider to stop at points that aren’t equal distance apart?” While there are varying
