How do I learn Advanced Interaction in Storyline 3?

Jun 05, 2019

Please help me out.

I want to learn about advanced interaction, I found these articles here very useful Link 1 , Link 2 . I also looked up courses in Lynda. 

There are however tonnes of variation possibilities in it and I want to understand it better. 

I would also like to learn about using JavaScript within Storyline.

I came across some online courses for Advanced Interactions in Storyline. But really not sure which one to go for. 

Can you please guide me to a course or video tutorials for this?

Thank you

I'm not aware of any courses beyond what you've already done. Others may be, though. The way I have learned is to learn by doing. There are posts on this forum about JavaScript and advanced stuff with triggers and animations, as you've already found.

Just play around with it - think of what you want a course to be able to do and try it! Make it fun, on some topic you like, like song lyrics or the World Cup or whatever. When you're free from the constraints of Must.Do.Serious.Work.Project you can be more creative.

It's good. I'm actually working through it myself right now. I always learn something from David's movies. 

I also have a more advanced Storyline course on Linkedin Learning (Storyline Advanced Techniques). However, it was done in 2014, and some of the things that were sort of advanced then, and less so now. Best of luck.

I agree completely with Andrea. Have a look at the examples on this site and see if you can recreate some of them or pick a topic and run with it. I always like to start with an interesting data set and then think about interesting ways of displaying it.

The weekly challenges are are great place to cut your teeth too.

If you check out my courses and ever have any questions, let me know and I'll help you out.

In the meantime, you could go through the challenge examples and ask yourself if you know how each one was constructed. For those that you're unsure, try rebuilding the example to see how far you can get.

Having built courses for many years, I can tell you that "advanced" often has more to do with how you're able to problem solve and approach an interaction more than it does having advanced knowledge of software features.
