Characters
Hello,
Has there been thought around adding characters that represent children and/or youth? I did find young adults, but no younger representation.
Thank you,
Martha Garzon
I appreciate your insight, Leah!
I have asked for this many times as well. Not everyone who uses this product designs for just adults.
I built these two characters based on a download from Neha Tandon. Feel free to use them.
We are an Indian organization serving farmers. Could you maybe have Indianized / traditional characters in Articulate? One example can be a salwar kameez or saree clad females maybe? Our audience would much better connect with such type of characters.
Hi - here to bump this request one more time. I create training for educators and would love to build more visually engaging elements in Storyline but all the characters are adults. Any update on this? Just signed up for my account and I'm disappointed to see how few characters there are to choose from, especially younger than 25.
Thank you so much for your feedback, everyone! We'll take all of your ideas into consideration as we plan future updates for Content Library 360 characters.
Hello, I am here to also advocate for the inclusion of children characters. The work I will be doing with Storyline 360 is only with children and it would be helpful to have characters on the screen that they can actually relate to.
Also, please, PLEASE include more body diversity! So important.
Thanks so much!
Hi Fina, Thanks for sharing your needs here. I'll pass this feedback along as it helps us to know how important representation for these characters is.
Olá! Bom Dia.
Existe alguma previsão de atualização dos Personagens? Nitidamente, eles são de décadas atrás (vestimentas antigas) e gostaria de encontrar mais personagens Inclusivos e Diversos, como: Deficientes físicos, cegos, etc e personagens LGBTGI + (Transsexuais, Travestir, etc).
Grato desde já!
Hello Treinamento Amil! Thanks for letting us know you'd like to see more different types of characters and a better representation of inclusive character sets. We'll let the team know, and I'll share your specific feedback!
Jumping on the bumping question boat! If we ask enough times for children characters, maybe we will get them! Honestly, without them I have very little use for Rise since I am a K-12 teacher and have students practice social interaction. I would much prefer that they relate to the character, rather than an adult.
Agree! Providing characters that children can relate to will make it much easier to design courses that keep them engaged! Children as characters (e.g. 6 years, 10 years, 15 years, and 18 years).
It'd also be great if the characters were 'modernised' - they do seem a little dated.
