Tables, infographics, articulate

May 10, 2011

Hi Guy

I have to put some table into a course so I am looking for some inspiration for presenting tables in articulate

Does anybody have any ideas, I am happy to build something in flash.

The data really needs to be displayed in a table,

hope you have some good ideas

Hi Phil,

In addition to Sami's awesome links, here's a recent post from Tom on using Interactive Tables: http://www.articulate.com/rapid-elearning/10-tips-on-using-tables-in-your-e-learning-courses/

And following up on Tom's post, here's something I put together based on a  WSJ graphic . Using hidden slides and branching, it was actually easy to create.

  • Interactive tables: Preview (The only active cell is David Co. Be sure to click the mini-graph headings within the David Co. popup)
  • Source Files: download


Screencast tutorials:

  1. Overview (pt.1)
  2. Inserting the table & customizing Slide Master (pt.2)
  3. Creating sub-slides, hyperlinks and close button (pt.3)
  4. Duplicating sub-slides and hyperlinking the mini-table (pt.4)
  5. Creating the fading, animated transition slide (pt.5)
  6. Customizing the player template & using the template (pt.6)
  7. UPDATE: Creating 2nd Slide Master w/o hyperlinks to prevent unintended linking
