4 + 2 = 6 Storyline Calculator Downloads

Thanks to the slick tools in Articulate Storyline, it’s easy to create interactions that let learners dive right into the learning experience. Some of the coolest interactive examples we’ve seen lately have engaged learners by showing them equations and calculations in action.

Adding calculators to your project is also a great way to give learners personalized info. For example, what if you’d like to include BMI info in a health and wellness course? No problem! Ask learners to input some simple info and you can give them personalized feedback about their BMI.

With Storyline variables, you can easily build complex equations right into your project—and we’ve got some great examples and downloads right here to help you try out these techniques. And if you’re experimenting with JavaScript, don’t miss these great examples of what’s possible! Take a look at these six freebies: 

• Go old school with a classic example by Dave Mozealous. It’s the first fully-functional calculator created in Storyline, and shows you that the sky’s the limit with variables!
• Give learners a personalized experience with this BMI Calculator by David Lindenberg.
• Try David Charney’s robust calculator, which lets learners perform math and calculations right in your project.
