Storyline Example: How To Fight A Bear
View Example (Best viewed on a desktop using the Chrome browser)
Hi Community! Here's the example I shared during my presentation at the eLearning Guild’s Articulate User Conference. I used 3D models and 2.5D/parallax effects. Feel free to poke the bear. I recommend turning your audio on. Let me know if you make it out alive! :) Happy trails!
Hi Sarah,
What a cool example! I hike a lot myself (luckily not in Grizzly territory!) but I learned a lot in this course.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Ashley! Glad you are not in grizzly territory. Those cute cubs are difficult to resist. :) Safe trails!
This is fantastic, Sarah! I learned so much from this course! I recently moved to an area of the US that has bears, so this is all new to me. Now I know what kind of tracks to look for! 🐾
Thanks so much, Alyssa! Congrats on the new move! Hopefully, you won't come across any tracks the size of this sedated bear...
Yikes!! 😱
Hi Sarah!
I loved this when you presented it at the User Conference and I love it now! So much so that I added it to the examples hub and linked to it in this recent article of mine. Great job! :)
Thank you so much, Allison! It was great meeting you! I read and commented on your article. Such a fantastic compilation of reasons.
Thanks Sarah! It was so lovely meeting you as well. And I'm glad you liked the article :)
Thank you for sharing Sarah this is brilliant :-)
May I get a customizable link to the How to Fight a Bear and Live course...one I could publish to our LMS?
Thanks!
Hi Kristy! Unfortunately, I can't share the project files because some of the images I used aren't licensed for redistribution. So sorry!
Okay; thank you!
This was awesome. Thanks for sharing and I made it out alive!
Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for sharing. This is one of the best examples of engagement I have seen. Could you explain how on the Prepare Drag & Drop, you got the incorrect items to return to the shelf?
Thanks, Michael! After I designed the slide with all the graphics, I converted it to a Drag and Drop Freeform interaction. From there, I was able to edit the options so that the items would return to the start point if dropped outside the correct drop target (the backpack). Here's more info about freeform drag and drop. And here's a pic of the item I selected. Hope that helps!
I was trying to get it to perform as yours, where if an incorrect item is drug into the pack, it would return to its original location and the learner would receive feedback for that item. I had used the option you indicated, but mine would show the feedback right away and not return to its original location. However, if I removed the trigger for the object's feedback layer, it would return. So, can I ask how were you able to display feedback after the item returned to its original location?
Ah! Got it! Thanks for helping me understand, Michael! I did a couple of things to make this work:
On the base layer:
- I added a Drop Incorrect state to the object
- I added a trigger to Show the Incorrect layer when the state of the incorrect object is Drop Incorrect
On the Incorrect layer
- I added a slow fade to the feedback box so it gave time to see the item return to the original spot as it slowly faded.
- I also added a trigger to set the incorrect object back to normal when the user clicks Close so that it resets the object to show the incorrect layer again if the user repeats the incorrect drag.
In case you want to see how this works in Storyline 360, I created this example file for ya.
Thanks so much! That makes sense. I know there have been a few times where I had to create a delay to ensure the order of operation progresses as I need it to.
