There’s one moment in particular that brings me extra delight as an instructor during our Storyline workshops. It’s that look of awe from participants when we draw attention to a trigger that works because of the sequential order of the triggers themselves. As you may know, triggers execute all of the action in our Storyline builds. Aside from a few timeline-based events, we see most of our slide actions listed in the Triggers Panel. However, the sequential order of triggers within the panel can also be significant. You may or
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. A slider is a great visual for the learner to see how much is left in the course. The slider also has built-in points, keeping us from having to do any leg work. Let’s explore this “as heard in training” question and use a slider as a progress meter! NEW! As of 2019, an Articulate-360-exclusive slide
How Can I Create a Space for Learners to Write Notes in My Course?
During a recent Rapid e-Learning Design course, one of my students asked if it would be possible to create a “parking lot” space where her learners could write notes as they went through the course. She also asked if they would then be able to see a summary of those notes at the end of the course and print them for their review. Although there are many different ways to design something like this, most options will likely involve some use of text variables. After doing some further experimenting in
How Can I Use a Slider to Create a Moving Timeline?
During Articulate training sessions, we often encounter questions that make us think of the new possibilities within Storyline. 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
