Example of what you can do with Storyline :)
Apr 17, 2013
I have had the pleasure of working on a large project with Phil Mayor over the last year on a bit of a 5-module epic.
The main challenge that we were set was to try and make Market Research techniques interesting. In this project, we both had strengths – mine was the “idea-generator”, critic (!) and sounding board with client. Phil thinks in terms of variables, triggers, layers and conditions – and makes the vision a reality. Neither of us possess any weaknesses 
Last week a learner said “5 hours of eLearning, and it only felt like 45-minutes. I wanted to take it again” – which for me is about as good as it gets.
Here are some examples of the sort of thing we came up with:
1> A slightly “off-piste” Navigation Map
2> A fun “hub-Menu” with a slightly unusual, product-related progress meter…
3> “Alice’s room” and “Bruno’s room”.
a. Alice and Bruno are influenced in their purchasing decisions by things that happen in their homes. There are a few (not too well) hidden videos and other “stuff” that happens in these “scavenger hunt” style interaction, see if you can find them all. We only built a couple, and then the client asked for more which was refreshing. J
i. Both interactions count what items you find no matter what the order is.
4> A game to assess how much people know about market research statistics – a vision turned into reality by Phil’s ingenuity. I still have no idea of how much of it actually works…..
In case anyone loves the visuals, and wants to contact her, my illustrator is the wonderful Laura Jones who can be found at http://www.veryvermilion.co.uk
Hope these show you what Storyline is capable of – absolutely nothing “non-standard” here. Sorry we cannot share the .story files.

Amazing work! Great structuring coupled with effective learning!
@Nancy - About 10,000,000 hours of build and multiple levels of review - and never spotted that. Now I cannot see anything else...
@Phil - had forgotten about the "Batman" music and the associated animated captions! Oh well - cutting room floor that can always be re-used elsewhere...

Phil,
I'm almost afraid to mention this, and I hope your headache is better, but I did notice an anomaly in the sequencing when I went through that section a second time. Hopefully this is something that you've already caught and solved.
This is how the scene opened for me on my 2nd time through:
And this shows the variables after a few clicks.
oops, I believe this is related to the way we cut the slides out, I will have a look!
Someone found a backdoor into the Matrix
LOL
I can speak for for the Ashorne e-learning team when I say that vicariously we learnt a lot from this course! Great work guys.
I don't know why, but when I think of you two working together, I mind always goes to the 'unstoppable force vs. immovable object' thing.
Yeah, I spotted that problem with the numbers that Mereyem posted when going back to the section but figured it was because you had only put up a sample! I'm still super impressed with the numbers! I can only imagine how long it took!
So which one is which?
I have updated the demo, it was a simple case of setting the slide to reset to initial state.
I think I've said too much already...
I think I definitely have to admit to being "immovable object".
As I have always said, I'm considered quite shapely by some so long as you consider a large egg to be a shape

But eggs roll.
I'd prefer to rock.....
May be adding another one of the course elements to the Demo soon...watch this space.

Unstoppable force, I quite like that Rich (I have a long memory).
Late to the party (just reading the WOM blog) but...Wowsa!
I really enjoyed this. Your creativity is aspirational. Well done!
