Hi, i am currently working on a storyline course that requires me to build an index with 20-24 lessons. These lessons cannot be grouped even at a high level and require to be listed out individually.
Can anybody help me with creative ways of representing this?
I like the idea of a course index inspired by the TED.com homepage. http://www.ted.com/
The videos have a nice tiled / mosaic layout and then they expand on hover - all very achievable in Storyline. I like the fact that the videos stills are all different sizes too...
You could take a screenshot or an image from each of your lessons and lay them out in this format with the lesson title overlaid, then hover to reveal the learning objectives, etc.
There's one idea. I'm sure you'll get more suggestions from others.
Thnx Richard....I did go thru Ted and i liked the representation there..... in fact I listen to many Ted videos but have surprisingly never been to their website! :)
I like the way the open up on hover.....will implement something similar but with a little more uniform structure (as mandated by the client this course is meant for).
I'd use states to make this effect, personally. That is, I'd position my objects in their 'flat' state, then assign each a hover state that expands to show the learning objectives. No need for layers.
When I get a moment today I'll build a test one and link the file.
Hi Natasha.. I did a drag and drop menu using Tom K's very cool template. I needed a menu with 18 different content (video) slides referenced. I used a lot of layers and simulated a loading timer. I've attached the working file if you'd care to have a look. I didn't include any content slides, but the PLAY button you'll see is the trigger to go to the associated slide.
Another idea might be to make a notebook out of it, I found a template here on the forums for a notebook, then added additional tabs to it for a project i just completed.
Thank you Jeff... your file helped... I just hope i dont mess up any of the settings
Thank you Wendy.... i have used this idea in another course where I had 7 lessons...implemented the horizontal version so that the pages flip upward instead of side to side!

Cool - good luck with it!
I like this effect on the Ted's site. I have tried to replicate it in Storyline but can not get it to work. My layers keep overlapping.
Any suggestions?

I really like these ideas. Great job.
