All of you - very nice ideas. I'll be using them in my coming projects. And Jeff, looking really cool with that Windows 8 tablet navigation. And very easy to use to.

Looks great Jeff. I am not familiar with Windows 8 Tablet style, but the template you put together offers a great look & feel. Thanks!

Here's my first "quick" attempt at the Windows8 tablet style navigation. Colors could vary and Icons could make this nicer design wise but not that bad I think.

The sliders are very, I am in the process of thinking up some new navigation slide templates for our internal elearning templates and this is a very nice one! I was also thinking about setting up a Windows8 Tablet kind of navigation: http://content.hwigroup.net/images/articles/Windows8dev1.png

Has anyone ever made something like this?

Thank you Jeanette - I am going to play around with the template and see what I can come up with. A really great thread!

Wow, this style must be "in" with web developers - here's another great one I found with the vertical sliders, it has a few additional elements for those who are more advanced: http://www.alumni.hbs.edu/careers/pitch/. Kind of ties the other question I asked about cumulative input to this: http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/8556.aspx

Love all the samples, templates, shares, etc. Such a fab community to be a part of, really appreciate the effort of all involved.

I forgot I have Dropbox, so here is the link. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29969882/Sliding%20Presentation%20Test/player.html

I do not have PPT 2010 so I was not able to clean up the edges where the colored rectangle and square meet. This was a fun quick project that taught me a few new tricks. Thanks to everyone.

This is a very neat idea. It got me thinking about a project I have coming up which requires about four pages (SECTIONS) of data to read but there is no need for audio. So I took what I saw here and starting tinkering. I was going to try and post the module, but honestly I have never done that so I have no idea of how to put it here so folks can see it. Anyway, thanks for finding the site Holly, yet another very useful topic.

Ooh, good find, Linda! I'd forgotten about that one. Sasha does amazing work. Thanks for posting!

I found it. It was in Sasha's e-learning blog http://sashascott.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/dynamic-powerpoint-interactions-for-articulate-4-sliding-tabs/ back in September 2010.

I know that someone in the Articulate community did this effect a year or two ago on his blog, will have to go thru my stuff and see if I can find the link. I can picture his face, but his name escapes me.

For Katherine & any others who wanted more details on how to make something similar to the mockup I posted earlier, here's the source file and here's a screencast that shows the gist of it:
