Question for Freelance StoryLine Developers regarding work requests
Hi Michael
I agree with both Patti and Phil about the slowdow being partly due to less eLearning development being done post-pandemic...
But I would also point to a shift in the general on-line learning market. (a) there is a LOT more content being developed as just straight (non-interactive) video. I find it kind of ironic that there are a lot of Storyline development experts who post their 'how-to' short training courses on YouTube!
(b) microlearning is a very distinct trend meaning shorter bite-sized learning modules
...and (c) there is a move away from what I can best describe as 'frame-based' learning formats - people want to access the content on mobile devices with touch screens and 'scrolling' rather than clicking 'next screen'. The increasing number of clients we get who prefer the 'look and feel' of RISE bears testament to this.
But people are just using a variety of different tools now - interactive video, pdf's etc. and there are a lot more LMS's with their own content editors on the market...
I would completely agree that video is making a comeback. Which is no surprise as when I want to learn something I run to YouTube.
I probably now produce 50% storyline 30% rise 10% other video and the other 10% is various LMS tools. Also it must be noted that there is a global slowdown
