Beginner needs help!
I am retiring in the near future after fifty-seven years of service as an airline pilot, an air carrier director of training, an aircraft accident investigator, and an FAA designated pilot examiner. My retirement plan is to consult regarding aviation training and certification, and to offer, to both individuals and companies, aviation technical training that complies with FAA guidelines and requirements.
I am competent with PowerPoint but I am a beginner with LMS style course creation: We had in-house people for that. I'm having difficulty getting started with Storyline 360. There is a lot of good material out there, but it's just not clicking for me, and templates aren't helping either.
I need some sort of reference that lists the things Storyline can do and then provides straight forward, step-by-step instructions to achieve the desired outcome. An outline or flowchart of Storyline's functions and sub-functions, and how they relate and interact would be wonderful as well.
Can anyone suggest something?
Thanks,
Michael Courtney
I think it might help to have an idea of what you are trying to do with Storyline. Ultimately, it is a development tool that allows users to interact with slides - drag and drop, click things, enter text into fields you create, etc. - but I'd start with outlining the practice activities you want to build into your training and then ask how to accomplish the user interaction. Otherwise, you risk creating something that has interactions like 'click here to reveal something' without a lot of learning value.
That said, these links may have some useful information to get you started:
