Mr C is spot on!
I went down the same path he did yesterday in trying to recreate the beautiful flow that SWA created. Though I have Adobe Creative Suite I wanted to see if I could recreate the smoothly curved sections of color like the one after the Herb Kelleher quote near the beginning. In PowerPoint:
- Create a rectangle and an oval
- Lay the oval on top of the rectangle and select both
- Click the Shape Format menu
- Click the Merge Shapes dropdown and select Fragment. PowerPoint will change your shapes to the color of the one on top but you can change that later.
- You now have new shapes that were created by the fragment process. Click and delete the ones you don't need and you should be left with a nice curved shape.
- Change the color if you need to and save it as a PNG.
There are sections in the SWA lesson that are a bit trickier and here are my best guesses.
- At the bottom of the section "Southwest as an Innovator" there is a click-to-reveal activity that I think was created in Storyline 360 and imported.
- In the section "What is Human-Centered Design?" there are two activities that involve chairs. I'm certain these were also done in Storyline 360.
- In the section "Making Solutions" the video was created with Doodly.com or something similar. The "timer-larger" source code states that it was made in Storyline 360 but there's more to it that I haven't figured out yet.
Everything else was done with the tools available in Rise. One last thing...last fall this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1eslYfk24) was a topic in E-Learning Heroes. Designer Nicole Ralph shows her process in creating something similar to SWA.

- When I tried your fragment process, it didn't work, and gave me a corrupted file, but when I saved the whole thing as a picture, it seemed to work fine. Can you share some details about what the fragmenting process does? Thx!
