Hello everyone,

It's been a while I haven't used Articulate 360 and I would like some advices (or any templates).
I am currently working on a "presentation/introduction" for the teachers working for my company.

The goal is to create an easy way for the teacher to provide informations about him/her, like : name, age, hobbies, a profile picture... just like a form.

At the end, a screen would pop with all the informations provided in that form.
That way, they can download that screen and present it to their students on Moodle with a JPEG, PDF or something like this (file attached).

Hope my explanation is clear and thanks for all the help you can offer !

Hi Jules and welcome to the community!

There are definitely ways to create a Storyline 360 experience where people answer questions and their responses auto-populate in an attractive and printable summary page. But there's a snag with the content you want to include, and it makes me wonder if another tool might be a better fit for this project.

When it comes to text, it's very easy to use data-entry fields and variables to have Storyline remember information.

  • This article outlines how to create a data-entry field (in this case, you'd want to use the Text Entry Field option). When you add a data-entry field, Storyline 360 automatically creates a variable to remember what someone types in that field.
  • Once you've set up Text Entry Fields for each piece of info you'd like your teachers to share, then build a final slide layout for displaying all their answers in one place.
  • Since you want teachers to print this summary slide as a PDF, add a button to this layout. Then add a Print Screen trigger to it.
  • The final step is to insert a variable reference in your summary slide layout for each data-entry field you created. It's how you tell Storyline 360 to recall what someone typed in the field and display it here. It sounds tricky, but actually only takes a few clicks to set up!

That will all work for the text questions. The one challenge is the profile picture, as (at this time) the data entry fields don't accept images.

This makes me wonder if a simpler approach might work better for your needs? You could easily put together an attractive teacher info template in something like PowerPoint or Google Slides, have your teachers fill it out directly on the slide, and then publish the completed file as a PDF or image. That solution would be fast to produce and would solve for the profile picture challenge as well.
