Inspiration needed - Narrated Training without a presenter

Nov 22, 2013

When I've created courses in the past that have involved narration, I've always liked to use a presenter, i.e. one of the Storyline Characters. 

Can anyone here point me in the direction of some examples of eLearning which involves narration but no presenter?

Hello Howie -

You could experiment with first person ("I will show you how") or third person. There are several forms of third person narration but the "instructor" or "commentator" styles are most popular.

What types of content are you designing? Information based courses work well with third person but that doesn't mean you can't mix it up by introducing characters and alternative narrators.

Tell us more about what you're working with and we can offer more ideas!

Hi Bruce

Like this one. Would you have the original Storyline files for the  demo so I can deconstruct please?http://www.pperf.co.uk


Hi Mandy...

Glad you like it - I would rather not send over if OK as it is the source for my website, but if you have anything specific, please do send me a PM.

It is really nothing complicated - 5 scenes and a whole load of links to courses sitting on my server.

@Stefano - thanks!

 Hi Alli, it's a branding presentation that i'm doing for a financial instituation. It's what Ruth Colvin & John Mayer would call an inform program as there aren't really any direct performance changes required on this - just 'awareness'.
