Software Simulation Templates

I recently built a software simulation course on some software that still ran (and looked) like DOS.  I did a mixture of videos and interactions to create the course. I used Camtasia to create the videos and added visuals and animations to demonstrate concepts. Then when I could replicate a step in Storyline, I would cut the video and provide on screen instructions to the user so that they can follow the steps and use the software like it would be used.  This helped out because I allowed me to skip many of the mundane steps for the user and focus on the content. 

To make it more interesting, I placed each lesson as a clickable marker on a map. I presented each lesson as a scenario that they may run into to explain why then need to perform this process.
