Using Interactive Dials and Knobs in E-Learning 2018 #210

Using Interactive Dials in E-Learning #210: Challenge | Recap

Interactive dials are a great way to simulate real-world objects and tasks in your e-learning courses.

Dials are similar to sliders, but where sliders move along a straight path, dials move in an arc or a circular path. Dials also use less space than sliders, so learners can quickly scroll through large amounts of data.

Dials and knobs can be used to:

• Explore cause-and-effect relationships
• Scroll through a lot data quickly
• Navigate menu items or options

Challenge of the Week

This week, your challenge is to share a new slider interaction. If you’re brand new to Storyline, try reworking one of the dial templates in the downloads section.
