So, I've been working with Articulate Storyline for a couple of years now. I love the fact it's so simple, but powerful at the same time. For the last year I have had the pleasure of working at TinQwise.
We are about to organize a two day course for absolute beginners at a client. Since I've been working with it for a couple of years I'm afraid I will jump in to deep and skip the essentials.
What I'm looking for in a kind of list "25 thing you need to know about Storyline when touching it for the first time". Can you help me out?
Let's get this proven forum do its best work yet ;)
Lol, that's an easy one. Run them through the getting started tutorials found on this site. Expand exercises to students needs. The value you should be adding is sharing the insights you have based on your experience.
One thing we're hearing from users is that they're using the E-Learning Challenges in their training activities. So if you present a basic session on using sliders, you can then ask participants to try and recreate one of the slider examples.
The link above will take you to those courses Table of Contents. My take: most instructors will cover more or less the same stuff, so if you have two or three courses in front of you, you'll be able to pull something together. My opinion: don't overthink or make anything overly complex. The basics are basic. Hope that helps a bit. --Daniel
Wow, i’m really impressed by the quality of the anwsers here! (I’m used to Reddit) Thanks you all, i’m going to use everthing and create something nice for the course.

Hi Jean-Luc and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!
Looks like Jeff is taking care of you here and you can find the tutorials that he mentioned here.
Here is the official Storyline course outline for a basic, 2-day course. You could use this as a baseline and omit/add topics as needed
Awesome! The links really help. Thanks, going to look into it.
Hey Jean-Luc,
I would recommend checking out our e-book entitled Getting Started with Storyline, I think you'll find what you're looking for there!
Hey Jean-Luc!
Great to see you! Here's a really great thread on Getting Started resources: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/best-learning-resources

One thing we do in our workshops on day one is work towards building a tabs interaction using an illustrated character.
Tabs are great because you have to work with triggers, states, and layers and provides a solid overview of Storyline's key concepts.
I really like the idea of working with challenges and tabs. Thanks! Next week I'll be making a program for the two days. This really helps.
Feel free to post your working outline. I'm happy to round up some challenges that will support your hands-on activities.

I'd google Yukon Learning, and download the table of contents for their two-day SL course.
As far as what lynda.com did with SL, there's
