I'm relatively new to Articulate, but not to rapid e-learning, and I'd like to review examples of excellent Web-based courses developed using Articulate (i.e., to help me better understand what's possible as well as for inspiration).
The guru awards are a great place to work. If you're using the Articulate Presenter Suite, check this link out to view the 2010 Guru Awards. If you're using Storyline (by Articulate), check out the course showcase here.
And, of course, there are course examples all over the forum here. I hope this helps!
HI Brian! Here are some great places to check out:
The E-Learning Examples blog currently contains many really nice examples of Studio '09 courses, but we'll be adding Storyline courses there also. The Community Showcase page contains lots of cool examples built in Storyline and Studio '09.
Can anyone help me? I am a beginner to Articulate and I have for the past few months being using engage and seeing what everything can do. The Health & Safety department want me to create an Articulate to go on our MOODLE page and I will also be doing a lot more in the future for other departments. What I want to know is how do I merge different engages together? I have seen this and it is brilliant but I'm not sure how to do it???? We are using Articulate 09 if this helps?
@Sharon: Are you wanting to embed an Engage interaction within another interaction? Although that's not officially supported, there is a way to do it if you do a little bit of trickery with the post-publish files. You can check out this blog post by Dave Moxon if you'd like to give that a try.
Not having much luck with this Jeanette, how can I get in touch with Dave Moxon as it will not show the screen shots when I am trying to follow his instructions on 'Adding engage within engage standalone'!
The module you provided that link to appears to consist of engage interactions and a couple of quizzes. If this is what you're trying to do, all you need to do is create a normal powerpoint presentation (Presenter) and insert various engage interactions and quizzes into it.
(Presenter installs 'inside' of powerpoint, and is the main way to author courses - everything else is inserted into the powerpoint through the 'Articulate' tab that Presenter adds to the powerpoint tool bar)
I just did it now - opened a new powerpoint file, added in random engage interactions, (then deleted the first blank powerpoint slide.)
This way you're essentially grouping (merging) a whole bunch of engage interactions (and quizzes) together in powerpoint.
Depending on the amount of content you have, engage interactions are good, but I think it can be a bit tiring for the user to just have engage interactions - I tend to use slightly animated powerpoint slides for the bulk of my information, and insert interactions when there is a lot of detail I want the users to read.
Hope this helps - I don't think I've explained it particularly clearly (good one for an ex trainer!), but I think this is what you're trying to achieve, based on the link you showed us. Ignore me if I'm totally off track!

Thanks Patti for posting the Guru link too!

Thanks Jeanette I will have a look and see if I can fathom it out!

Hi Sharon - yeah that's odd about the images. You could certainly post a reply on his blog, but in the meantime see if this screencast helps:
