I know you could do this in Presenter, and I don't think you can in Storyline but thought I would throw it out there.
Can you put one soundtrack across all of a module rather than slide by slide? I know you can't divide it up across slides, but I just want light music playing through the module.
On another note, has anyone tried this? What was your learner feedback? I'm looking at 'mood music'.
Hi, Kate: This isn't currently possible in the current version of Storyline, though I'm sure many have requested it.
Thoughts on mood music: I tend to use for certain slides, because I want the music to do a certain thing on that slide: create a reflective mood, give a sense of place (music playing in the background of a store); make a statement about a character, and so on. ("Yeah, and the guy has a secret Air Supply fetish...")
I'll also use music in short demos that are giving a high-level view of a course, but if true learning is taking place (meaning the learning really has to think about what's what, then the music could be a distraction.)
Question: is the course more information-based, or is more performanced-based? If the latter, maybe use the music sparingly. Unless it's Rush, of course. Kidding, sort of.
The module objective is to reinforce our mission and values. We want them to be reflective on their role rather than solely providing information. I found a classical soundtrack that is slow and quiet to go with it. (sorry--not Air Supply!!)
Hi has this ever been addressed, fixed, or worked around? Last threads I see are all over 2 years old but I can't quite figure out how to do it still. Anyone have success?
Hi Caroline! This is still not a standard functionality, but perhaps one of the suggestions in this thread may be beneficial to you. You are welcome to share your thoughts/suggestions with our product development team as well here.
