How Do I Create Transparency?

October 21, 2021   Yukon Learning    Leave a Comment

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

What If I Need the Stops in My Slider to Be Uneven?

February 25, 2021   Yukon Learning    Leave a Comment

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

December 20, 2017   Yukon Learning    2 Comments

Although not used as often, the “=NotAssignment” (also known as “toggle”) variable/trigger can be a great way to help you create engaging interactions for your learners! I was recently asked about a potential use for this trigger in class and, although there are other ways you could use it, I came up with the following example. We’re hopeful that this example and blog post not only accomplishes my goal of showing the use of the trigger, but also succeeds in wishing you happy holidays! One Button Versus Two A popular

How Can I Highlight Important Information when Users Review Content?

September 15, 2017   Yukon Learning    2 Comments

In a recent custom virtual training, a student asked for help in creating scenario-based courses in Storyline. When the scenario arrived to a point where the learner received a quiz question, they wanted the learner to not only be able to review content they had already seen, but to also highlight important information. The main consideration here was that they did not want the information highlighted on the original slide, only when being reviewed. While there are several ways one might accomplish this, one of the easiest ways is to

Why Does My Custom Menu Lose Track of My Progress?

August 10, 2017   Yukon Learning    2 Comments

This question was sent to me just this month after a training session. Let me set it up for you… In our advanced class, we teach the students how to build a custom menu and control the navigation of that menu using True/False Variables (aka, Boolean–for the nerds out there). You can view a simplified version of the course here. You can also download that .story file at this link. What is happening in this example is the “visited” states of the buttons are designed to look like an “in
