5 Tab-ulous Ideas for Organizing Learning Content
If your background includes designing presentations, you’re probably accustomed to the “one idea per slide” rule. And that rule makes sense when there’s a live presenter embellishing content with personality and context. But when you’re designing interactive e-learning, learners need you, the course designer, to engage them.
Instead of delivering content to your audience over multiple slides, try using a simple tabbed layout to organize all of that related information. Tabs interactions are flexible—perfect for chunking lots of content, creating a custom menu, or even structuring an entire course. Tabs interactions are also quick and easy to build in Storyline 360, because all of that information can live on a single slide with layers. Best of all, using tabs invites your learners to explore the information you’re sharing and absorb it at their own pace.
