I have been using ppt/pptx slides with text and graphics in my online classes for years. I prepare say 100 pptx slides, load them into articulate, narrate them and publish them online. Instead of slide, I would like to present this class differently. Instead of slides I would like to scroll through several hundred pages of 8.5 x 11" highlighted text. Is there an articulate method where I can insert scroll and narrate it using articulate
Yes. The text is written on 8.5 x 11" pages. My goal is to highlight those statutes or phrases I think are important and scroll vertically as I narrate and explain the story behind each
Wow, thank you for your response. I have wanted to present this course for
years and never had the vehicle or knew how to use what I had.
We just subscribed to Articulate 360. We use MS Powerpoint slides but can
defer to your suggestion.
I teach real estate pre-license and post-license courses. The real estate
laws, as published by the Real Estate Commission, are 8 1/2 x 11" pages
with text (no graphics).
Perhaps there are ten fundamental laws (Landlord Tenant Code; Fair Housing
or Civil Rights; License Law; Administrative Rules; Land Use, etc) Each of
the laws may range from 25 pages to 75 pages in length. For teaching, I
use my yellow highlighter and mark up the statutes that are most
important. In a classroom I would give those color copies to my students
and scroll through the pages to comment on the highlighted statutes.
On line I want to do the same thing. I use pdf to highlight and save the
pages to pdf. I suspect I would only use one law per three hour session so
the number of pages would not be more than 75 pages. For instance,
Landlord Tenant Code is 36 pages. I could spend three hours on that.
After posting scrolling pages I would use Articulate 36 to narrate the
course then publish it to our website.
I sought to give you as much information as I could. I hope I did not bore
you. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for that context, David! There are two ways you could go about this. I would suggest checking out both tools to decide which one you like best.
Option 1: Record the screen recordings using Peek and upload those videos to a Rise Video lesson or block type. The benefit of this option is you don't have to worry about the large file size that could result from recording so many videos. This is because Peek videos are hosted online.
Rise has lots of other lesson and block types as well, so you can add text or file attachments if you have any need for that.
Storyline also allows you to add text and file attachments, if you'd like.
One more tip: No matter which option you choose, I would suggest breaking the recording into smaller sections about 3-5 minutes each. That way, if you make a mistake while recording, you won't have to redo the entire thing.
Give each tool a try, and let me know which one you decide to use. Then, if you need any help along the way, I'm happy to lend a hand!

Hi David! When you say scroll through the text, are you thinking of vertically scrolling through documents, like you might with a PDF?
Yes. The text is written on 8.5 x 11" pages. My goal is to highlight those statutes or phrases I think are important and scroll vertically as I narrate and explain the story behind each
Hi David,
What version of Presenter are you using? If you have Articulate 360, Storyline might be a better fit for what you're looking to do.
If you can let me know what version of our software you're working with, I can point you in the right direction!

Option 2: Record the screen recordings using Storyline 360's screen recording tool. If you choose this option, set up the video recording dimensions to match the slide dimensions. That way, the recording won't scale down to fit the size of the slide.
Storyline also allows you to add text and file attachments, if you'd like.
