New Advisor Onboarding
Our team is using Articulate to build out new advisor onboarding for our entire campus. Custom Blocks was released shortly before we launched so, naturally, I dove in head first and gave all of our training modules a makeover. I've included screenshots of some of the assets we've used below, and have a review link to one of our training modules linked at the bottom of this post.
Each week in our training has a different theme color, based on our University brand colors, that gives each week a really unique feel but with consistent and familiar assets across the entire training.
Important tips/suggestions now use this Core Concepts custom block with some design adjustments to match our style:
Comparing and contrasting various features and processes is so much more visually appealing now than when we were using simple tables before:

The custom blocks have really opened up a whole new world for me as I think about how we share content visually. I like to start with one of the templates from Articulate and then see where my imagination takes me. Check out the way I formatted degree requirements:
One of my absolute favorite design features in custom blocks are the ombre color effects. It is visually stunning (in all of the theme colors we have utilized), adds interest to the content, and naturally leads a learner through the content. Here are a few examples from our courses:

I had a great time utilizing the conversation bubbles to share some example questions and answers from advisors. I also uploaded some images and played around with sizing for this cusom block - I have to say, this one is my absolute favorite thing I have created so far:
If you made it all the way here - thank you and I'm so excited to share all of this with you! For a deeper look at how this looks in our courses, check out our course for Week 4: Advising Technology & Tools

Love these designs and how you used custom blocks to give it the look and feel you want. The harder part is how it works on mobile if that is important.
Thank you! And yes agreed - luckily, all of our learners utilize university-provided computers to participate in the course, so we haven't had to dive into mobile view yet.
You really knocked this out of the park and I am inspired! Thank you for sharing!
Hats off to you, amber-gordon! 🎩 I am so impressed by your designs! Very clever to add the conversation bubbles on a mobile device to simulate a text message thread. Thanks for sharing your work!
