Whenever I start working with a new client the first thing I do is create a template to explore what style, look, and devices (buttons, sliders, icons, etc.) they envision in their e-learning. Some clients are not super-experienced and they don't know what Storyline or Rise can do. We nail down the template elements and then I'll start developing their materials. I'll do 10 slides and then get more feedback before I waste time on something that doesn't work for them. Today's demo was inspired by a project I completed last December in Rise for a business services firm--I adapted the color palette to include Peach Fuzz color of the year (my last try with this color for 2024!)
In general, I like creating templates but find it challenging to live with them over time. Sometimes the content I'm adapting just doesn't work in the template, so it has to be a little flexible. I'm terrible at using the master slides, and I get especially frustrated with feedback templates for quizzes.
Have a great week!

- This is awesome! It's very clear and easy to apply. Not just sample slides that you have to reconfigure. Nice!
- Note for others - I needed to download the 360 Beta with emphasis animations to view this one.
- Thanks for sharing this Jodi! Its very helpful as is the information about your workflow. I agree with you about the feedback templates for quizzes, they are a big pain point for me too
- Nice one, Jodi. I was looking forward to your template. Thanks for the download!
