Creating Custom Menus in E-Learning #358: Challenge | Recap
\n
Create a Custom Table of Contents to Help Learners Navigate Through the Course
\n
Today’s authoring tools make it easier than ever to customize how the menu looks and where it’s placed in the course player. But there will be times when designers want to move beyond the default menu options and design their own course menu.
\n
While DIY menus take longer to design and implement, they’re worth the time if they help learners get more from their training. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about.
\n
Moving Beyond the Default Player Menu
\n
Storyline’s menu options on the Player Properties window allow you to control how the player menu appears in your published course. This is a classic table of contents–style menu that provides all the functionality most courses need.
\n
\n
Using a Table of Contents Style Menu
\n
When you want even more control over your menu design’s fonts, colors, graphics, bookmarking, and types of menu information, you’ll need to create everything yourself. The good news is: tools like Storyline make this really easy!
\n
\n
Challenge of the Week
\n
This week, your challenge is to share an example of a custom table of contents menu. You don’t need to build out a real project this week. Use placeholder slides and content to allow more time for your custom table of contents menu.
