Using Progress Meters in E-Learning #60

Progress Bars, Meters, and Indicators in E-Learning

Progress Meters in E-Learning #60: Challenge | Recap

Progress indicators are a great way to let learners see how much they’ve finished, and how much there is to go.

And since they’re one of the most popular questions in the community, I thought they'd make a great weekly challenge.

Before you progress through this week's challenge, take a look at a few of the creative examples your fellow community members have shared.

Showing Progress in Quiz and Results Slides

Give your learner's a visual indicator of their remaining quiz questions using a simple progress meter. Another option would be to colorize completed questions to indicate correct and incorrect responses.

The Atsumi meter is a thing of beauty. Who made it?

almost 5 years ago11/22/14 at 11:13 am (UTC)

The fella who made that example is a real troublemaker.

almost 5 years ago11/22/14 at 11:41 am (UTC)

Well I thought it must be your work since it was remarkably well done, hilarious, and without attribution - but if it's a troublemaker my only guess would be Atsumi's wayward son?

Cool, this is actually a topic I removed from my presentation for the Dutch Articulate User Days last week. Should be able to produce something this week. The image David used made me think of a post from over a year ago. His images above the progress bar remembered me of badges/achievements which in a way are things you can earn if you progress through a (game) course. With the new ELH search in place I located in a few seconds. Hope this is useful for someone. Let me know what you think!

I design a match sticker game about 4 months ago and today made some changes to it. The level selecting slide of these game is related to these challenge and the game can be placed on last week challenge. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/107713226/joorchin%20%282%29%20-%20Storyline%20output/story.html

almost 5 years ago11/24/14 at 2:23 am (UTC)

Hey Sol, this is fantastic! However, on the second level I couldn't solve the problem because I was trying to make the equation 8 - 8 = 0 and apparently this is not an option although is a correct solution.

Sol Moh
Alexander Salas

almost 5 years ago11/24/14 at 10:31 am (UTC)

Thanks Alexander. In this game you can only use the number of available match stickers. In fact we only move one sticker to another place. Excuse me that my descriptions in the game was not enough. I correct the description and upload it again. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/107713226/joorchin%20%282%29%20-%20Storyline%20output/story.html The correct response for all levels are: level 1: 5+1=6 level 2: 9-9 =0 level 3: 6-5=1 level 4: 7+3=10 or1+9=10 level 5: 9-4=5 level 6: 9-0=9 level7: 2+3=5 or 3+2=5 .

almost 5 years ago11/24/14 at 11:32 pm (UTC)

I really like the concept of this game. On level one, my solution was 9-1=8! Thank you for the cheats! I will try it again with the corrects answers. Love the sound effects! :-)

Here is my progress meter, but I have a confession to make about this one. This was going to be my entry for last weeks challenge (the kids game), but I could not get it to work. I was trying to build a 2-d shooter game but there does not seem to be a way to detect then two objects collide - even with JavaScript. So I gave up that pursuit and instead you get a progress meter. http://pinchedhead.articulate-online.com/3796869842

almost 5 years ago11/23/14 at 9:53 pm (UTC)

Now that I think of it - this really isn't a progress meter. It is more of a countdown timer so David, maybe the next challenge should be a timer :)

almost 5 years ago11/24/14 at 2:14 am (UTC)

Nancy, I tried to do the exact same thing with my zombie challenge. I even used the slider to shoot objects, but didn't know how I would score a hit because I couldn't detect the object collision. I ended up highlighting the zombie at different points and gave points if the slider was in the correct position to hit it during the time it was highlighted. Might be easier to see than explain https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/70407176/zombies/story.html

Oops... Looks like a cool game and I love the design but somehow, I'm usually not able to use anything involving drag and drop on my tablet so couldn't view the progress🙈

almost 5 years ago11/26/14 at 1:40 am (UTC)

Hey Daniel, I did not check this on my tablet but there is no drag and drop on this one. It uses a slider and the timer is just a count down so progresses even if you don't do anything.

almost 5 years ago11/27/14 at 12:34 pm (UTC)

LOVE this, Nancy - great job!

Hi Nancy, I love the project, but could not actually shoot any of the spaceships no matter what I tried. I tried it using Chrome and Safari on a MacBook Pro, not sure what the problem is...

A while ago, I had developed a sample where user's could add topics they were interested in to a menu and effectively build their own course. See here for a sample and brief blog post: http://wp.me/p2BoUf-8R The progress indicator (upper right) is not much to look at (making it 'look pretty' was not the goal of this sample, it was about functionality) but it does automatically adjust, depending on how many and which topics were selected.

almost 5 years ago11/24/14 at 3:07 pm (UTC)

I love the way the progress meter is responsive to the number of choices you pick at the beginning. Cool functionality.

almost 5 years ago11/27/14 at 9:11 am (UTC)

I like how you use one square 2 times, filling it half and complete. saves some screen real estate! Very Smart!

Here is another example. This one actually tracks progress. I created this for the Articulate Community Roadshow in Toronto and have been meaning to turn it into a proper template for ages. Here is the demo. http://pinchedhead.articulate-online.com/3796805848 I'll post the template later - I still need to make the menu topics more generic.

almost 5 years ago11/26/14 at 12:39 am (UTC)

Hey Nancy, I so much love the design and navigation, do share the template when you're done! I love the way it is locked to ensure learner progresses accordingly! Great work

almost 5 years ago11/26/14 at 7:00 pm (UTC)

I love the idea of subtly having to go through the prerequisites.... nice that you didn't have to state your objectives, just left the user wanting to progress naturally.

Here's my progress meter example: http://elearningdesigner.com/storyline/progress-bar/index.html My intention was to make the progress buttons clickable after the learner completed the quiz to offer the option to review their choices.

I was showing some people at a recent workshop how to use free icons to create an elearning template. One of the icons was a diamond so I used that as a way to indicate progress in the demo. Collect diamonds as you go and if you check on your progress page (bottom icon) it indicates how many you have collected and how many to go. Nothing fancy, but since the demo has a progress meter, I figured I'd include it. http://elearning-examples.s3.amazonaws.com/SL2-ballicon/story.html

almost 5 years ago11/25/14 at 6:20 am (UTC)

John Wagner

almost 5 years ago11/25/14 at 7:10 pm (UTC)

I had a very lineal Frequently Asked Questions section on our web site. Very boring, but people read them, I created an interactive FAQ course and used a series of checkmarks as the progress meter. If the person hovers over the character they see the question. If they click on the character they go to the interaction for the answer. When they finish a question and answer interaction and go back to the beginning, there is a check mark on the character to let them know they finished that part of the course. The published course is at http://openbibleministries.com/03hsbapt3.php.

almost 5 years ago11/26/14 at 12:23 am (UTC)

Hi John, Love the course and the design so much, I have to patiently go through it! I particularly love the discussion interaction and change of state of the characters as they discuss. The check mark is good as well for progress monitor! Great work there

I've been slightly busy to participate due to school work, though I've been following the challenges but I guess I'm back now. While, seeking space to meet up past challenges, I decided to share one I did for a previous challenge on spelling bee. View Snapshot of Reward Cup at https://flic.kr/p/q9ZeGw Download full course in PowerPoint to view full interaction with content at https://itrysting.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/please-spell-it.pptx By the way, creative and awesome work from everyone...

My progress meter turned into a speedometer! Here it is: http://www.gerardfriel.com/portfolio/uploads/speedometer/story.html

Finally, I'm able to create a Progress meter I love! As I sat with my tablet playing "Lep World 3"on android, the Menu showing progress suddenly caught my attention and I decided to use it as a guide for my work. So it has a menu progress meter and each 'world' has three 'levels'. I also locked subsequent worlds until you complete preceeding ones. I enjoyed doing this, I hope you will! Main Menu Progress Meter:- https://www.flickr.com/photos/127073448@N05/15707024140/ (Scroll to see snapshots of the second level progress and others in the course) Full Interaction in PowerPoint:- https://itrysting.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/menuprogress_meter.pptx (And there's some small sound) Hopefully, I should write my blog post for this challenge!

Jumping in for my second challenge and first challenge involving a course. I plan to blog about this course soon, but in the meantime, here is my entry. https://db.tt/Tox1YgDz This is a stripped down version of a scenario-based compliance course I'm working on. I've adapted this template: https://community.articulate.com/download/interaction-flat-desktop-exploration. The idea is that the resources on the desk will give the user information needed to complete the challenge. Note that in Scenario 1, some of the icons open layers, but from that point on, it's just a skeleton structure. Also, in my real course, I have several layers of branching and choices dependent on variables, but I cut them out for the sake of the demo. Thanks for a great challenge that has applied directly t... Expand

I wanted to prepare a vocabulary quiz in a different way. I mean it was supposed to be different from my usual quizzes. I ended up a new game which I am really happy to share here. I have to confess that Atsumi-O-Meter helped a lot. Thanks for sharing @David Anderson. Demo: https://goo.gl/T7Rmaj Story: https://goo.gl/r5x3bz

Awesome audio quiz! Glad Atsumi could help influence your concept:-) Thanks for all the creative ideas you share in the challenges, Rıdvan!

That was great, Ridvan! I'd certainly use that idea for listening skills in language learning. Really well done!
