- sarahrydgren-abCommunity MemberIt would be incredible to have another challenge, or permanent links to projects that work like this, or have software simulations. There was a thread, but many of the project links are invalid. https://community.articulate.com/articles/screencasts-software-simulations
- Hi Sarah,
Yes, that challenge is from many years ago, which explains why some of the links don't work anymore. Unfortunately, since members submit those projects, we don't have any control over the links. However, there are two other software training examples created by our team. Here are those links:
- Review 360: https://community.articulate.com/e-learning-examples/storyline-360-review-360-software-sim
- Trello: https://community.articulate.com/e-learning-examples/rise-360-software-training-example
I will also reach out to David and see if he's planning on doing another software challenge. - Hi Sarah. The links Allison shared feature some good examples. I do have a software training challenge planned in October. I might be able to bump it up in the rotation.
- MimiFongCommunity Memberit's so brillient works, may I know what techniques are being used in order to guide the learner to complete the procedure in which?
- NicoleLegault1Community MemberHi Mimi! The main slide is a menu I've created simply using shapes with states. Each lesson has been recorded using the Storyline Screen Recorder, and then after I inserted the demo in Try Me mode and edited the captions and the interactions that occur on each slide. Here's more info about how to use the Storyline Screen Recorder:

Let me know if this answers your questions, or if you have any additional comments or feedback. Thanks!
- MimiFongCommunity Memberthanks Nicole,
thank you so very much~that's what I want to know ~~~ - EricIsakssonCommunity MemberHi!
Which font are you using for the continue button and for the other text in the "Edit Your Profile" square? =)
Very simple and beautiful design by the way! =) - OlgaTomashevskaCommunity MemberHi Nicole!
Thank you a great example! May I ask a question: I have to create a software simulation but unfortunately screen recording function doesn't work in my Storyline system (something like "Unexpected or Erratic Behavior in Articulate Storyline 2"). I've created the case of the error but while I'm waiting for fixing this bug I'd like to know is it possible to use screenshots and animate/trigger them in order to behave in a similar way? Or maybe I can use other screen recording software and then incorporate it to Storyline? What do you think? Is there any options for this?
Thank you so much in advance and hope to hear.
Kind regards,
Olga- NicoleLegault1Community MemberHi Olga - Sorry to hear you've run into this issue with the screen recorder! You might want to check out this link, in case you haven't seen it: https://articulate.com/support/article/unexpected-or-erratic-behavior-in-articulate-storyline-2
I dont think working with another screen recording software will work well for you if you want to do step-by-step slides with captions that show how to use a website or application. You certainly COULD use static screenshots and add hotspots, and interactivity, over top of it, but it would take a lot more time than simply using the Screen Recorder. Hopefully you can follow the steps at the above link to troubleshoot your SL2 and get the Recorder working for you!!
- LisaSmyserCommunity MemberHi Nicole,
Were you able to share the source on this one? I know how to do the screencasts but would love to see how you integrated the menu!- NicoleLegault1Community MemberHi Lisa - I don't have this one available for download, however I can tell you that each lesson in the menu is a separate scene which includes the screen recording for that task. The menu is just rectangle shapes with the name of the lesson and a Hover and Visited state. Each rectangle links to the associated scene. That is how it was done :)
- LisaSmyserCommunity MemberThat's helpful! Thanks Nicole.
- JayShuck-ebc206Community MemberBeautiful work, Nicole. It's just the right amount of hand-holding I needed!
- EdwardDeveloperCommunity MemberThis is great. I've been asked to build a simulation for a complex software program with a lot of variable inputs. I've been thinking that if i require the user to click all of the right boxes and type the right things, it will take forever and lose the benefits. I like how in some instances the fields were already populated and they just clicked the submit button. Did you do this by deleting some slides from the recording?
- StephanieLongCommunity MemberI would like to know this as well.
- GregPidgeonCommunity MemberMe too! Can anyone help?
- baileybowyerCommunity MemberOh my creative juices are screaming haha, I love this.. crisp and clean as well as a visual feast!!
