Teaching Japanese Characters in Storyline
Apr 25, 2013
Hi All,
I wanted to share a short project I made yesterday that aims to teach some basic Japanese characters using Storyline. Please note this module is intended for a touchscreen PC, but can us used with a mouse. Here's a link to the course.
My company has a touchscreen monitor for marketing purposes, so I decided to create a course that attempted to teach a physical skill through e-learning. The result is this 1-2 minute module.
I decided to use a dragging technique that gives the illusion of tracing the characters on screen. This allows the user to practice drawing the character with their fingertips. After they have traced 3 characters, they have the opportunity to draw them free-hand using an embedded flash paint canvas.
I hope some of you find this interesting. I have used this dragging technique for a number of unique applications on a variety of courses, and I'd be glad to share more examples if there's interest.
If anyone has any ideas how I can get the painting canvas in slide 4 to work in html5 to be iPad supported, I'd love to hear them!

Hi Monste,
Can you please explain how to create a letter tracing activity like your example?
I'm new to Articulate so please bear with me :)
Is there a tutorial I can follow? I don't know where to start.
Thanks
I would also like to see this example, but it doesn't look like this thread is active anymore.
Here's an Arabic letter example I made a few years ago. Skip to the section
"Letter Practice"

Hi Rubin,
I think I tried looking at your example earlier. When I click on your link, this is what I get:
"Not Found
The requested URL /resources/Arabic/arabicalphabet/Dhaal/story was not found on this server."
Would you be able to attach the actual file here so I could take a look? I'd really appreciate it.
