During Storyline training, we learn how to customize a course to ensure that learners view all the content on each slide. Depending on the situation and the type of content, there are a variety of strategies that can be used. One question that is often raised is, “How do I ensure my learners view all of the interactive content on a slide before moving on?” That’s a pretty popular question and David Anderson does a great job explaining how to do that here. However, sometimes the request is more specific.
What’s the Best Way to Copy and Paste?
Quite often in class, and in actual development, you’ve made something super awesome on the slide, and you need more of it. This could be buttons, shapes, markers, text boxes–you name it! And shortcuts are a great way to cut down development time. Make it once, make sure it works and looks the way you expect it to, then DUPLICATE it!

How Can I Create a Video that Will Pause, Discuss a Point of Interest, and then Continue?
Video is a terrific way to engage your learners! I am sometimes asked whether or not it is possible to have a video play and then pause to review various discussion points. There are many ways to accomplish this, and the following is a simple option that takes advantage of the layer functionality in Storyline 360. Insert Your Video Onto the Slide For this build, we are using a video about the planets in our solar system. (We can discuss whether or not Pluto is truly a planet later!) Tip:
What Should I Include on My e-Learning Design and Development Checklist?
As we move through our hands-on Articulate training covering the various settings and features of Storyline 360, we 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 for quality assurance (QA). 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.
