Reimagining Storyline Interactions for Accessibility and User Experience
Articulate Storyline offers powerful built-in interactivity, but what if you could push the boundaries even further by engaging all five senses in your e-learning experiences? Curious about how to leverage cutting-edge technology like AI vision, voice recognition, eye tracking, touch interactions, and even game controllers in your Storyline projects?
In this session, Chris Hodgson explores how you can reimagine Storyline interactions for greater accessibility and user engagement. You’ll discover practical methods to integrate innovative features using JavaScript APIs and tools such as WebGazer.js, GSAP, and agentic AI platforms.

This session is perfect for anyone aiming to create more inclusive, interactive, and future-ready e-learning projects.
