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 Do I Loop a Video?
Video is a great way to communicate a message to learners in your courses! We’re often asked in training how to make a video automatically play over and over again or “loop.” Let’s look at how this can be done in Storyline 360! To begin, insert a video onto a slide via the Insert tab, be it Content Library 360 media or your own. (You may want to have your video fade in and fade out. Visit this blog post to add that effect in Replay 360.) Tip: Although there
How Can I Use the “=NotAssignment” Trigger in Storyline 360?
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!

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?

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?
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
