Wow so many good ones already!
This is a module on birding that I think shows several audio strategies noted here -- feedback sounds, a sound-based question, a sound board with different character dialogue, triggered narration, etc. I try to stick to around 5 hours for these so it's not fully polished/done, but I also added a sound layer to explain the strategies.

Also, this is not exactly eLearning, but it is a fun mood board! I made this for the beginning of a D&D campaign where the PCs had very little knowledge of the continent and had gotten an artifact that gave a "sense" of different places, with the sounds representing clues: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/6a2b18f7-a74f-4744-8d17-e5394ce18b94/review

- Great work, Alison. I enjoyed the colors and sounds and learned something. The interaction was simple and the storyboard and voiceovers were engaging.
- Thanks, Ron!
- Very nice, Alison! I have both Merlin and iNaturalist on my phone which I like to use mostly when I travel and see a new kind of bird.
- Nice work, Alison! I particularly enjoy the bird sounds.
- You make me happy, Alison. I always have a bird guide in my car and often a pair of binoculars in my bag for walks. Right now, the robins think it's spring already and sing all day.
- You've done all that in 5 hours? It's commendable! The checkboxes on a single-choice quiz got me confused. Nice work!
- Thanks for the feedback, I should update those to circles or put select one. There are a few other UX fixes I want to make!
I didn’t do the D&D one in that time—that’s just something I had for a campaign already and added to review but yeah the birding one isn’t done yet but that was about 5 hours of development and sourcing assets. I already knew a lot of the info, so that made it faster as did using AI VO and captioning.
