We get this question, or some form of it, asked perhaps more than any other question during the Storyline 360 portion of our hands-on Articulate 360 training: “Why didn’t that work?” It’s frustrating when something doesn’t work as you intended or hoped during e-Learning development. We’ve all been there and understand your pain! So, let’s tackle this “as heard in training question” today and figure out “Why didn’t that work?!” There are occasions when there is a technical glitch and the issue is beyond our control, but these are very
How Can I Trigger an Object to Move?
Motion paths are a terrific way to add movement and polish to e-Learning courses. We love the way they allow designers and developers to be creative! In this blog post, we’re answering the “as heard in training” question, “How can I trigger an object to move?” As you may have already noticed, when you add a motion path to your course, Storyline 360 creates a trigger for you. The reason for this is that triggers execute the actions in Storyline 360—and each motion path needs an action to work! By
Why is My Audio Overlapping?
Imagine…a cacophony of simultaneous noises and voices competing on the same e-Learning slide. Have you experienced such chaos? From the sounds of it, this blog post may be just for you. So, now imagine…an incredibly simple solution. During our hands-on Storyline 360 training, we work with audio in various ways. There’s ample opportunity for the aforementioned hullabaloo of overlapping sound and this common “as heard in training” question: “Why is My Audio Overlapping?” If you peek at our e-Learning example here, we’ve created a common click-and-reveal interaction with audio in
How Can I Trigger an Object to Change Size?
Perhaps you need to create the illusion of an object moving closer or farther away, maybe you want to animate data in an infographic, or you’re resizing an object to help draw learner focus to it. For these reasons and more, resizing slide elements is a discussion that comes up frequently during our hands-on Storyline 360 training. The objects in this blog are closer than they appear…as we answer this “as heard in training” question: “How can I trigger an object to change size?” As with many design solutions in
How Do I Make a Reset Button?
Imagine you’ve created an e-Learning interaction (like a drag-and-drop or a tabbed activity). Then, you receive a request for a reset button that will allow learners to try the exercise again with a single push of a button! …Now what? As we’re creating interactive slides during our hands-on Storyline 360 training, the conversation around building reset buttons regularly arises. Why don’t we answer this “as heard in training” question today: “How do I make a reset button?” So, we want an activity with a reset button, just like our activity
