Question About Using Articulate for Systems Training

Hi Steve,

That's a great question! We find a lot of people use the screen recording features in Storyline 360 to create software or system simulations. What's great about this approach is that once you've made your screen recording, Storyline 360 will do a lot of the heavy lifting of quickly converting it into an interactive experience for you.

Start by creating a screen recording of the system. Use the Record Screen button in the top ribbon of Storyline 360 and record the steps you want to simulate.

Then when you're done, insert your screen recording as step-by-step slides (this video tutorial will show you how). Choose Try Mode Steps if you just want to create a practice experience for learners or Test Mode Steps if you want to make it a test. Storyline 360 will then use the recording to build a series of interactive slides to replicate your steps. You can use them as-is or go into each slide to tweak them if needed.

Hopefully this approach will work as a fast solution for your systems training project.
