Compass Dials Example
Here is an example I have built showcasing the dials feature in Storyline 3 and Storyline 360.
The compass is made up of five dials:
- One for the compass baseplate and hand controlling the variable 'CompassBaseplate'.
- One for the part of the hand in the center of the compass dial, also controlling the variable 'CompassBaseplate'.
- One for the dial of the compass containing the degree markings. This dial controls the variable 'CompassDial'.
- One for the parallel direction arrows within the compass dial. This dial also controls the variable 'CompassDial'.
- One for the compass needle which controls the variable 'Needle'
The dials have been built so that moving the baseplate and hand will also move the inner dials in the same direction.
The compass needle will wobble slightly when any other dials are moved.
Frustrating. You need to give a tip when they don't do it correctly after a few times. The directions aren't clear enough.
I never got a correct answer. Obviously I'm not understanding. It would be nice to have a demonstration of calculating a heading using another scenario, perhaps like being on water instead of the mountains, then go to the slide you have for testing knowledge. Otherwise, as other people have commented, this is a great example of interaction with the learner.

Wow. Fantastic work. I like that learners must take multiple steps to complete the interaction. This is crucial for keeping learners engaged beyond just "drag this over here, then click Submit".
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jordan, Love it! Great work and thanks for sharing both your work and story file. I learnt a lot from it.
This is fantastic, Jordan! The wobble effect is an extra nice touch.
Can you cross-post your example in the Dials & Knobs challenge: https://community.articulate.com/articles/interactive-dials-and-knobs-in-elearning I'd like to include it in our dials examples.
Love it! I could have used this when I was a Boy Scout Scout Master to teach orienteering!
Thanks for posting this, I enjoyed digging through your source file, very interesting.
Thumbs up!
Impressive effects, Jordan!
