Using Storyline to create more than just drag and drops...
May 15, 2012
One of the changes of eLearning is how to allow your learners to practice physical processes in a virtual environment. Specifically I wanted my learners to be able to practice using a fire extinguisher as part of their fire safety training, but most companies are going to balk at letting everyone in the office use up a fire extinguisher practicing on a simulated fire out in the parking lot. So this is what I came up with...
Fire Extinguisher Training - P.A.S.S.
I think this type of training has value base on the research of guided visualization for sports performance that shows thinking through a process helps build experience and confidence. What do you think?

Hey Charles,
That is a really great example on going beyond a simple 'Drag and Drop'. Great work!
Charles,
Very creative! And a great use of Storyline. If you're willing, I'm sure there are many of us who would love to see a Screenr on the creatio process (or heck, the story file would be cool too!).
Thanks for sharing this approach!

Very cool Charles. A really clever example of how SL's drag and drop component really does have scope to make content more 'hands on'.
I've just built one for a client but can't yet publicise it. Hopefully soon.
Fantastic idea, Charles. I too, am excited to take a peek at your .story project to see how the coolness came together.
Thanks for the daily inspiration!
Great Example, I really enjoyed that, thank you for sharing.
Neat! Thanks for sharing!
How absolutely cool was that
Wonderful idea - very creative, wonderful execution.

Another cheers for Charles. What a great idea! I hope we get to see a screenr!
I am glad you all liked it. Here is part one: https://player.vimeo.com/video/204930782.
I will do the other half tomorrow.
And here is part 2.

Thanks Charles. Can you also share your .story file so we can follow along?

Charles, an excellent use of SL. What I particularly liked was that I failed to extinguish the fires and received instant feedback but I couldn't quite work out what I was doing wrong (I was not moving the extinguisher over the base of the fires). I had to work that out for myself rather than receive further instruction and that enhances learning. Unfortunately my hands got burned so I now need instruction on how to deal with that (hand under running tap etc but the soothing kiss of a good woman might be difficult to replicate even for SL!).
Great job with the demonstration and thanks for the explanation screenrs.
Thanks Sam,
Certainly the love of a good woman can't be simulated.
Hi Charles,
I remember you showed us this story during the training you delivered. I tried the lik http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4162110/pass/PASS%20interaction%20only.story but I got an error.
Could please tell me what should I do?
Thank you!

Thanks Charles!
Somehow I totally missed this when it was first posted - it's incredible! Thanks for sharing, Charles!
Is there an updated link where we can view the PASS demo? I saw it a couple weeks ago at Storyline training, and I wanted to show some of my colleagues. Thanks!
None of the links worked for me.
Thanks for sharing Charles, really awesome work.
None of the links seem to be working, I (and i know others on here) would love to see a demo and the source files.
Could you please let me know what to do?
Cheers

Thanks so much!
I'm making a fire prevention/safety course right now - would have loved to have put something like this in. Unfortunately the client doesn't like the idea of people actually fighting fires...instead they're focusing on prevention. BORING!!
Great work though, like the concept.
