Winter Trivia Project Demo
Dec 31, 2012
I volunteered to gather some winter trivia questions for my son's 4th grade classroom end of term celebration, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to use Storyline.
I wanted the kids to have "self-directed, free choice" in how they proceeded through the 3 topics and any/all of the questions within a topic. I didn't add a results/score slide because I wasn't sure how much time they would have to spend on the trivia questions, but that's certainly something I may add.
I've only been using Storyline for about 2 months, so I'm sure there's loads I could do differently/better/more efficiently, but thought I would share. I welcome any and all suggestions and feedback!
Most importantly, a HUGE thank you goes out to David Anderson who helped me work out the kinks with the button and slide states that were giving me such fits. David - You Rock!
Happy New Year to All!

Great work, Diana! Thanks for sharing your cool demo!
I had a little extra time to tinker, so I added scoring and a results slide with a little snow on the exit slide.

Hi Diana!
The update looks really great! How did you make the animated snow? It looks great
One thing I'd add is a cross fade transition for all the slides. That would soften the jump from menu to choice and choice to menu.
Looking really great!
I LOVED that! What a great project. I especially liked how some of the answers gave the option of additional information. Really nicely done!
@David - I hate to admit it, but by revealing my crude methods, maybe someone can step in and suggest a better alternative.
I added the snow "manually" - I created one piece of snow, added the shadow and animation, then I pasted 160 copies and spread them out across the slide. After that I just messed around with the timing to make them feel random when falling.
I tried placing the objects across the screen and then grouping them, but then they all fell at the same time and same rate, so it's unsophisticated and a little time consuming, but I got the result I liked.
Any suggestions for next time?
