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
How Can I Use a Slider as a Progress Meter?
Many developers find themselves in need of a progress meter to show a learner how much is left to be completed in an e-Learning module. There are several ways to achieve this in your course.

How Can I Use a Slider to Create a Moving Timeline?

For me, this happened recently when an attendee asked if it would be possible to create a timeline that could move back and forth (or up and down) using a slider. The more we talked, the more excited I became at the possibility of creating a timeline that would not only be a more robust course design, but also more memorable and engaging for the learner! Take a look at what I
