Got JavaScript Skills? Let's Build Something Together
Hey JavaScript friends! đź‘‹
I'm on the lookout for some JavaScript experts who might want to help shape a Peer Pod topic for 2027 and I figured this was the place to ask!
The vision: a Peer Pod focused on getting started with JavaScript in e-learning. If you love JavaScript and want to help other L&D folx take their first real steps with it, I'd love to have you involved in building it out.
Interested? Reply in this thread and I'll follow up via email to chat more! 🙌
New to Peer Pods? Here's the quick version:
Peer Pods are cohort-based learning experiences for E-Learning Heroes community members. They're designed to help you build skills, swap ideas, and learn alongside other L&D folx. They typically run for 4 weeks and include a weekly discussion prompt.

Looking forward to see who's interested! This topic has a lot of potential and I'd love to build it with people who are genuinely excited about it!

This sounds very cool, Kell. I'd love to chat more, thanks.
Sounds interesting. Please let me know what you had in mind.
Yay amazing! I'll reach out to you both, AndrewBlemings-​ and Nathan_Hilliard​, by the end of this week via email! 🙌🏼
Please count me in. I've done a fair share of JavaScripting over the years.
Hey KellOrding​
OMG—This is such an exciting initiative, and I’d be thrilled to contribute and help build and shape this! Making JavaScript approachable for L&D professionals is something I’m super passionate about—especially since I’m still actively building and expanding my own skills. Creating a welcoming, beginner-friendly space for folks to take their first steps sounds fantastic.
On my end, I’ve been heavily experimenting with JS across both tools to solve real design challenges:
- Rise 360: Building a library of custom components using Code blocks, including custom timers, two-column button blocks, accordions with customizable headers, callout styling (notes vs. tips vs. important), hover-to-reveal image interactions, and more to come.
- Storyline 360: Writing scripts to dynamically generate completion certificates, capture learner names for personalized greetings, build custom unit converters, code interactive mini-games, and more to come.
Quick question regarding the structure: If we help shape the Pod prior to launch, will we still be able to fully participate as cohort members? A huge draw for me is the peer exchange—swapping code snippets, seeing how others solve problems, and sharing my own experiments—so participating while helping guide the cohort would be the ultimate win-win!
Count me in if you still need extra hands to build this out!
