Help advise for a course

Sep 22, 2014

Hi ,

I have worked for quite some time on a law course for a teacher.

It was my first time using Artivulate storyline.

I asked the teacher to give me his entire course on word, and asked him to identify elements with specific colours (Main element, examples, reference, reminder etc.) The idea was to use a specific icone/colour for each type of element and therefore give to the students a easy way to spot them. The idea was also to avoid giving too much written information (with long sentences) to the student, but rather use the audio and leave on each corresponding slide the most important elements to read. i also synchronized each element so that it appears at the exact time the teacher mentions it on the audio.

I have used the image of a man to represent the teacher.

One year after , students came back quite happy with that course. However when i look at it, i don't like it, plus find really not easy to handle for any future changes.

I think it's not great visually speaking, i think there are too many small elements, that the teacher is of no use, and that my slides have too many layers (which was the only solution i found to spread ou the content of really long parts in the course)

I'd like to improve the general aspect of my work, make it more professional, not so complicated, easier to handle for changes, more beautiful  and clear to watch... but i' don't know how.

If anyone would be kind enough to have a quick look at my work and give me hints of how to improve it, i would appreciate it a lot!!!! So far i am stuck!!

Apologies for my english (i a french )

Good day to everyone,

Estelle

ps: Please find an example int he flie attached

Hi Daria, 

Je pense qui vou fez a tre magnifique job! I don't speak too much French ; )

I did some quick edits. Primarily I change the menu color just  a bit and added some states and triggers to the character on slide 3.  Perhaps this would give you some ideas on how to animate characters. I used some off stage shapes to act as timeline triggers to change the states.

I would definitely update the graphics with photos if you can. And perhaps you can use layers on slide 3 so everything doesn't look too crowded.
