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
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
Can I Delay Interactivity Until the Narration Ends?
When we teach interactive elements in our hands-on Articulate Storyline 360 training, someone will inevitably ask: “How do we keep learners from interacting until the narration ends?” This can be crucial in compliance-based e-Learning, ensuring the learners receive all content and don’t skip ahead. Let’s look at ways we can temporarily lock interactions for this “as heard in training” question. As you’ll undoubtedly hear us say in training: “There’s always more than one way to accomplish it in Storyline 360.” Today, we’ll discuss three methods for temporarily locking interactions. Method
Can I Use a Slider to Page Through a Document?
When we teach sliders in our hands-on Storyline 360 training, we can see learners thinking of possible use cases, like “can I use a slider to page through a document?” Maybe you have a policy document that must be read, or a clinical reprint that needs to be reviewed. These are great use cases for using a slider to page through the existing documentation! Let’s explore this “as heard in training” question today. The Document First, we need to ensure the document is in an image format for use in
How Can I Make a Slider More Engaging?
Our latest blog entry demonstrated how to customize a Dial and make it more engaging. Now, in the second half of this two-part series, let’s dial back the clock in honor of #FlashbackFriday to the original Storyline interaction of this type: Sliders. At Yukon Learning, we’re always finding new ways to utilize the Slider interaction, allowing learners to drag a handle up and down a track in order to uncover content, or trigger actions to occur. They’re fast and easy to develop, and make learning entertaining. However, since the Slider
