It's a Storyline software simulation showing learners how to use Storyline! Thanks to the help of hotspots, layers, and triggers, this example walks learners through the process of creating a button trigger. After seeing how it's done, learners get to practice themselves in a risk-free environment.
Great example Richard. Thanks for sharing and giving me a chance to learn about the software. I would like to suggest a way for the user to exit if it does not find the right step to continue. I did not find this to be clear on the simulation. Cheers.
Hi, thank you for this example! Unfortunately I did not pay enough attention to your film and during the task and I focused on WHAT do I have to do, more than on HOW to do it. Maybe a help button would do the trick?
Is there a way to allow completion of a panel in any order? For example, items can be selected in any order from the four drop-down lists in the trigger wizard before clicking OK. My apologies if this is covered somewhere else on the forum. Thank you for sharing your example Richard.
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if during the Try it section, can you configure the simulation so that the users can click on the four drop-down lists in the trigger wizard in any order.
Since the Try It steps are based off the Show Me steps, I would so no. It might be possible to modify the Try it steps to allow this but it would require a lot of work to make it happen and possibly some additional recordings but then you are caught up in "how many different ways could the user perform these selected steps".
I agree that being able to simulate the "real-world" would be great in some situations though.
From my many years in the classroom, I've found that showing students multiple ways to navigate an interface seemed to only confuse them. On the other hand, showing them one way to do it always helped them learn faster.
Once they become more comfortable with the app, only then I would show them more ways to accomplish the tasks or an easier way to accomplish the task. Make sense?
Many thanks for your reply Richard. The snag is flagging a step as incorrect when it is, in fact, perfectly acceptable in the software itself. I guess there's no way around it, unless a member of Articulate staff can advise otherwise?
I really like the layout and clean lines. Quick question would you think that a voice over works with a character, or is it better to just have the the words on the screen? Trevor

Great example Richard. Thanks for sharing and giving me a chance to learn about the software. I would like to suggest a way for the user to exit if it does not find the right step to continue. I did not find this to be clear on the simulation. Cheers.
Hi, thank you for this example! Unfortunately I did not pay enough attention to your film and during the task and I focused on WHAT do I have to do, more than on HOW to do it. Maybe a help button would do the trick?
Is there a way to allow completion of a panel in any order? For example, items can be selected in any order from the four drop-down lists in the trigger wizard before clicking OK. My apologies if this is covered somewhere else on the forum. Thank you for sharing your example Richard.
If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if during the Try it section, can you configure the simulation so that the users can click on the four drop-down lists in the trigger wizard in any order.
Since the Try It steps are based off the Show Me steps, I would so no. It might be possible to modify the Try it steps to allow this but it would require a lot of work to make it happen and possibly some additional recordings but then you are caught up in \"how many different ways could the user perform these selected steps\".
I agree that being able to simulate the \"real-world\" would be great in some situations though.
From my many years in the classroom, I've found that showing students multiple ways to navigate an interface seemed to only confuse them. On the other hand, showing them one way to do it always helped them learn faster.
Once they become more comfortable with the app, only then I would show them more ways to accomplish the tasks or an easier way to accomplish the task. Make sense?
Many thanks for your reply Richard. The snag is flagging a step as incorrect when it is, in fact, perfectly acceptable in the software itself. I guess there's no way around it, unless a member of Articulate staff can advise otherwise?
I really like the layout and clean lines. Quick question would you think that a voice over works with a character, or is it better to just have the the words on the screen? Trevor
