Share Your Interactive Budgeting Tools, Games, and Financial Calculators #162
Financial Calculators in E-Learning #162: Challenge | Recap
Regardless of whether you’re building finance or business courses, knowing how to build a basic calculator interaction will give you a solid foundation for working with variables.
And once you’re comfortable working with variables, your e-learning world of possibilities grows exponentially. With variables, you can design personalized learning experiences, dynamically present content based on your learner’s choices, and move beyond linear “click next” courses. And that’s the sum of this week’s challenge!
Learn How to Build Your Own Calculator
Learning to build complex interactions is always easier when you have prebuilt source files to deconstruct.
Below you’ll find a handful of free calculator templates and downloads to help you get started with this week’s challenge. Feel free to rework the examples and/or use as a starting point for your own project.
Already know how to build a calculator? Wondering how or why you’d even use one in a real course? Check out the following examples for some practical ways calculators can be added to your projects.
Using Calculators in the Real (E-Learning) World
I like Nicole’s Training ROI calculator because it’s a practical example of how calculators can be used in typical courses. Sure, it doesn’t look like a regular calculator, but under the hood it’s doing exactly what a calculator does best: calculating.
Before we move into the challenge, I’d like to share some calculator examples from different industries. The examples weren’t created with e-learning tools like Storyline, but that doesn’t mean you can’t build something similar after mastering variables, sliders, dials, and other core concepts.
Is It Better to Rent or Buy?
Use this interactive calculator to determine whether you should rent or buy your next place. The calculator features data entry fields and sliders to help you compare the costs of buying and renting.
This week, your challenge is to share an example of a financial calculator that can be used in e-learning.
If you're new to variables, try starting with one of the free calculator templates below. Depending on your comfort level, you can simply redesign one of the calculator templates or use as a guide for creating your own example.
Already comfortable working with variables? Try adding multiple variables, sliders, and interactive elements to create a more advanced calculator.
Storyline: Free Calculator Templates and Downloads
I would think this would count a "financial calculator". This was a prepaid card that offered awards. I developed a module to show how the rewards work.
This calculator calculates 1x, 2x, and 3x points and adds them all together for a total.
I would like to contribute to the weekly challenges but do not have any version of Articulate Storyline. I have used the trial version, but the time ran out and I am not able to afford the cost of buying the full version. Is there a way to contribute to the challenges using a different authoring tool? If so, what's the process to have it shared here on the challenges?
You're more than welcome to use another tool to participate in the challenges.
We have a few users who regularly share examples created in other tools. Another option is to use PowerPoint to mockup an idea. Whatever you want to use is okay with us.
You can share your examples several ways. You can host your published examples on your own blog or website.
If you don't have a site to host examples, you can use our Dropbox file request link to send me your zipped output: http://bit.ly/ELHChallenge When you upload your files, please include your first and last name and challenge number in the file name: DavidAnderson_122.zip
The forums allow attachments so you can also include a zipped version of your published examples and I'll grab your files there to upload to our server.
Hello my name is Emily, and I am exploring the world of Instructional Design (so much to learn!). This is my first time participating in an e-learning challenge. I wanted to post something for a few months now, but I've been hesitant because I am very new to this field.

Financial Calculators in E-Learning #162: Challenge | Recap
\n
Regardless of whether you’re building finance or business courses, knowing how to build a basic calculator interaction will give you a solid foundation for working with variables.
\n
And once you’re comfortable working with variables, your e-learning world of possibilities grows exponentially. With variables, you can design personalized learning experiences, dynamically present content based on your learner’s choices, and move beyond linear “click next” courses. And that’s the sum of this week’s challenge!
\n
Learn How to Build Your Own Calculator
\n
Learning to build complex interactions is always easier when you have prebuilt source files to deconstruct.
\n
Below you’ll find a handful of free calculator templates and downloads to help you get started with this week’s challenge. Feel free to rework the examples and/or use as a starting point for your own project.
Already know how to build a calculator? Wondering how or why you’d even use one in a real course? Check out the following examples for some practical ways calculators can be added to your projects.
\n
Using Calculators in the Real (E-Learning) World
\n
I like Nicole’s Training ROI calculator because it’s a practical example of how calculators can be used in typical courses. Sure, it doesn’t look like a regular calculator, but under the hood it’s doing exactly what a calculator does best: calculating.
Before we move into the challenge, I’d like to share some calculator examples from different industries. The examples weren’t created with e-learning tools like Storyline, but that doesn’t mean you can’t build something similar after mastering variables, sliders, dials, and other core concepts.
\n
Is It Better to Rent or Buy?
\n
Use this interactive calculator to determine whether you should rent or buy your next place. The calculator features data entry fields and sliders to help you compare the costs of buying and renting.
This week, your challenge is to share an example of a financial calculator that can be used in e-learning.
\n
If you're new to variables, try starting with one of the free calculator templates below. Depending on your comfort level, you can simply redesign one of the calculator templates or use as a guide for creating your own example.
\n
Already comfortable working with variables? Try adding multiple variables, sliders, and interactive elements to create a more advanced calculator.

I would think this would count a \"financial calculator\". This was a prepaid card that offered awards. I developed a module to show how the rewards work.
This calculator calculates 1x, 2x, and 3x points and adds them all together for a total.

I would like to contribute to the weekly challenges but do not have any version of Articulate Storyline. I have used the trial version, but the time ran out and I am not able to afford the cost of buying the full version. Is there a way to contribute to the challenges using a different authoring tool? If so, what's the process to have it shared here on the challenges?

Hi Andrea!
You're more than welcome to use another tool to participate in the challenges.
We have a few users who regularly share examples created in other tools. Another option is to use PowerPoint to mockup an idea. Whatever you want to use is okay with us.
You can share your examples several ways. You can host your published examples on your own blog or website.
If you don't have a site to host examples, you can use our Dropbox file request link to send me your zipped output: http://bit.ly/ELHChallenge When you upload your files, please include your first and last name and challenge number in the file name: DavidAnderson_122.zip
The forums allow attachments so you can also include a zipped version of your published examples and I'll grab your files there to upload to our server.
I hope that helps!
