Storyline Demo: ‘Risk Towers’ – with immersive graphics and sound
We’ve recently started using Articulate Storyline (March 2013) and wanted to share with the community what we’ve produced so far. The course is called ‘Risk Management’ and is set in a fictional building called ‘Risk Towers’ where learners discover what they need to know about risk management. We’ve spent a lot of time on the graphics and sound to make it more immersive - hopefully this has paid off but we’d love to hear your thoughts!

Many thanks,

Looks great, Steven, but rather painful for me to see. I proposed a similar concept to a client for a mentoring e-learning package (called 'Mentor Manor') and they knocked it back. :(
Good to discover that some clients have taste!
That's a real shame James. Convincing clients to be brave enough to go with something a bit different is often the hardest part.We've been in the same boat - and ended up making a diluted version of your original idea that everyone thinks is ok/safe, but nobody actually loves.
I think you just have to keep trying to come up with good ideas and hope that some will get through!
Yes, that's the challenge, Steven. We eventually went with a course that really is a watered down version of the original concept, and it's just sort of there!Luckily, the client we are working with at the moment are the exact opposite, and are far more open to creative ideas.
I look forward to seeing what you guys at Unicorn get up to next.
Awesome Steven!!! I'm jealous of your talents!!
May I ask how you showed the loading image between slide loads???? Did you just display it as an additional layer???
Thank you so much!

Hi Don, this was very much a team effort
You're right, the loading image is just another layer. At the moment, Storyline HTML5 playback on iPads and Android tablets (we test using a Nexus 7) is slower than we'd like. So we wanted to give tablet users instant onscreen feedback - some users were clicking the next button repeatedly as they weren't sure if anything was happening. (This seems to be the case on graphic and non-graphic heavy courses.)
Saying that, I'm sure HTML5 performance will improve with Storyline updates. I'm looking forward to testing our Storyline V3 (released last week) to see what improvements it's made.
Hi Steve,
I know someone who is the head of enterprise risk management at a large well known company. I showed her your demo and she loved it. She would like to know if it is available for purchase or licensing. If so, please let me know how I can put the two of you in touch with each other.
Thanks,
Dawn
Wow. This is a fantastic example of what you can do with Storyline! Brilliant!.
Hi Steven,
Awesome stuff you did with storyline.
Did your team create the graphics from scratch or did you have some ready to go graphics as well? And if you did, where did you get them from if I might ask?

Hi Jesse.It's a mixture of created graphics and sourced photographs that our graphics guy manipulated/enhanced to fit the content and style.

Oh wow! I'm so glad this came back up since I missed it when you first posted. This is just fantastic. It SO EASILY could have been screen after screen of bullet points. What a great opportunity to show a client a Before & After example of how you can make (forgive me) rather boring compliance topics fun to explore. Great job and thanks so much for sharing it with us!
This is fabulous to look at! However I get stuck at screen 1 and nothing happens. I would love to be able to see the interactivity people mention. I wonder if I can convince health and saftey......
I am blown away. What a fantastic course and demonstration of what StoryLine can do.
