We've had a couple of meetings and I'm the keeper of the emails and lists, but would rather use a collaborative space. If you want to be part of our group, you can reply to this thread (or email me directly if you want: holly at sparkandco dot ca).

A group of us met this week and we shared some resources that I'd like to put up here.

Creative Market - https://creativemarket.com/ they have weekly freebies and offer good bundles
Mighty Deals - http://www.mightydeals.com/ daily deals on design stuff
eLearning Art - http://www.elearningart.com/ selection of characters beyond the built-in (elearning brothers too http://elearningbrothers.com/) Lots more shared on the ELH site
Printing a page - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/to-print-a-slide-of-the-published-output-of-storyline
Changing the report - http://www.articulate.com/support/quizmaker-09/how-to-create-certificates-by-customizing-the-reporthtml-file

I've proposed that we meet again the week of July 20th.

I am so disappointed to miss this - my daughter got sick and I couldn't find a last minute sitter, Sounds like the meet-up was a great success.

I look forward to catching up next time (I've put the February dates into my calendar).

Here is my attempt building a spotlight slide based on the instructions Holly found, (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-to-add-highlight-or-spotlight-animation-in-storyline) plus some guesswork on my part. You'll see tips on the slide as well. It would be great if anyone else could add their insights too.

Hi all - I tried hard to plan in advance, but alas have to adjust the date of our next meet-up.

Please update your calendars to hold Tuesday, February 26th. I'll send details when we get closer, but will be at Robson Centre again.

Hi all - we'll meet at UBC Robson Square again, room C440 on Tuesday, February 26th, from 5:30 - 7:00. This classroom is on the Classroom level of Robson Square. Turn left at the bottom of the stairs and then a right turn down the first hallway. This classroom is halfway down that hallway.

A theme? Hmmmm, why don't we do something on branching scenarios? You could do something in Storyline, Rise or use another tool and use it with an Articulate product (Twine, Branchtrack, etc). Bring samples, examples, challenges, questions and ideas and let's see how we can help one another.

Of course, if you have something else to show/ask/brainstorm, I'm sure we can find time for that too.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone again.

Is it possible to include a web meeting link and dial in so the meeting can be projected and attended by those who are unable to attend. Although I am Downtown for work, I take the WCE, and there is no train that late, so I cannot attend. This is something that would be very valuable for me.

thanks

I would love to attend remotely as well if possible.

Hi Everyone

I'm afraid we have to make an adjustment to the day as our host is not able to get back in time for the meeting. Everything stays the same (location, time and theme), but we're shifting to Weds, Feb. 27th to accommodate.

Update your calendars!

I have a standing appointment on Tuesdays so Wednesdays are so much better for me - please sign me up for this one.

Hi Everyone,
As Holly noted, our next meeting will be on Wednesday Feb. 27th at Robson Square. Signage will say "E-Heroes Meetup" and the room will be C150 (classroom level, down the stairs from the main entrance and head left to the Sauder Executive Education suite of rooms).

Please send a quick reply if you are planning on being here in person so that I can make sure we have enough seats for everyone.

Unfortunately, we don't have the proper set up to telecast this meeting, but I will work on a set up over the next few days and get back to you with some information. At the very least, we will likely be able to hook up an audio feed, but we're pretty limited on video at this point. If anyone has any particular knowledge/ability in this area and you could help with ideas, please send me a note (lynn.oreilly@sauder.ubc.ca) with some suggestions and I'll see what we can arrange. (I do have an external mic that I can hook up.)
