At Yukon Learning, our mission is “Making e-Learning Easy for Everyone.” One of the ways we do so is by coming up with mnemonic devices (or just parodied song lyrics) to help participants in training remember key things about Storyline 360. In this article, let’s review some of these phrases you might hear from our trainers. “If you like it then you shoulda put a name on it.” Our beloved Ron Price likes to say that Beyoncé was once an e-Learning designer and that while developing, she came up with
How Can I Highlight Important Information when Users Review Content?
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
Can I Create a Pre-Test that Allows Learners to Test-Out of Viewing the Course Content?
On Day 2 of Articulate training, we tackle quizzing. The exercises highlight features in Storyline that support the creation of robust assessment activities where the learning doesn’t stop when the quiz starts. One question that is often raised that morning is whether Storyline supports pre-tests. Pre-tests could be used to: Introduce a course or topic and whet the appetite of the learner. Give experienced learners an opportunity to prove that they have already achieved mastery, and therefore do not need additional training. Tailor course content to the specific needs of
How Do I Change the Way the Correct/Incorrect Feedback Looks When I Build a Quiz Question?
I love teaching Storyline to folks, and I love teaching every session. However, if I had to pick a session that would be my favorite to teach, it would be when we focus on quiz questions. In Storyline, they’re so easy to build! (Although, remember to take the time to craft well-written questions in the first place!) The standard, “out of the box” quiz options are amazing! You get great states (how the objects look) and layers (for question feedback). But it’s inevitable…a question we get asked in almost every
How Can I Time an Individual Quiz Question?
Teaching assessments during our hands-on Articulate training is one of my favorite portions because I often learn just as much from our students as they learn from me. It never fails that we have great discussions about methods people use for creating quiz questions, and sharing those methods only helps us grow as e-Learning developers. Recently, a student who also happened to be a firefighter asked, “I know we can time a quiz as a whole, but is there any way I can time quiz questions individually?” He went on
