You should check out our community challenges.  Here is a link to our first one.  They are held monthly (on our third one) except for this months since its asking for a little more than the usual.

Hi Matthew...

Well, I think you answered half the question yourself.

1) You could have a stack of Pizza boxes instead of buttons on your frontpage, and on the sides of the boxes you can place button text instead of (or together with) the company logo.
2) You could also pizza slices as your menu chapters.

Wow, I feel hungry just by thinking of this...

Hope this helps,
Alex

Since it is a food safety course maybe your title screen could have three pizza makers on the front - two who exhibit some of the don'ts you plan to cover in the course and one who represents the do's . You could have a caption in a large font that says something like

"Which one of this people do you want making your pizza?"

You could do something like this with a video of your kitchen.

Maybe something like this

OK...I admit it...I was bored and had a day off "real" work....   :)

Saying that - often the unexpected can make people sit up and press the "Next" button.

Laughed my heart out! TERR(OR)IFIC!!!

Thanks for some great ideas everyone. Bruce, great work. It's to the point and funny.

The point of a cartoon, a caricature or joke is to take the main points of something, highlight them, and make them understandable and memorable in the least amount of time possible.

A bit like eLearning really.

Health and Safety courses are all about risk - personal and business. Focus on those. Any of the ideas above could be looked at in that way. Pretend you get paid $100 for every word or bullet point that you remove and you will soon get there.

Hey Bruce, nice job. Very impactful. I like the handwriting effect.

I'm pretty certain I could (eventually) generate something approximating this in storyline by combining blocking, animation and repeating staggered elements (not sure what to call this exactly) ... but it looks like a load of work. How did you achieve it?

Cheers,

Stanton

Hi Stanton.

Thanks!

It's just an animated video brought into Storyline, and then I use Storyline's Timeline facilities to deal with the audio.

I used something called "PowToon" to create it.

Thanks for the tip on PowToon. I'll check it out.

An Animation Title page, you could have characters/Objects with hover or click triggers to change the state, or have a movie clip running in the timeline and music to make exciting.
