Back to School: Education Templates for E-Learning #96
K12 E-Learning Examples #96: Challenge | Recap Whether you prefer skeuomorphism or flat designs, there’s no denying that classroom- and education-themed templates are some of the most popular design styles in e-learning. And since August is the month when most kids head back to school, I thought it would be fun to shift our focus from corporate e-learning to childhood education. From the Office to the Classroom In one of our early challenges, we looked at desktop and office theme designs. In that challenge, the examples were designed around corporate office environments. The same design process, layouts, and interactions can be easily themed for education. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about! Backgrounds Drive the Learning Context I probably sound like a one-track song sometimes, but slide backgrounds really are one of the easiest ways to set the visual voice and tone for your designs. Not only are backgrounds the largest slide element, they really help create a sense of place for your content. In the desktop office example I shared, I built the template design using three elements: Using the same design process, you can assemble common classroom elements to create an education theme: Makeover Existing Templates One of the easiest ways to tackle this week’s design challenge is to take an existing template from our downloads and give it an academic makeover. Here’s an example of a classroom theme that was based on a six-tabs interaction: Download the Evaluation Tabs Interaction for Storyline Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to design an education-themed template or interaction. You can focus on any type of academic environment you like. You should try to include at least three different content slides.

Hi everyone, I'm so excited for this challenge because this is my first project with Storyline 360. Take a look at my project. 👉 Would you survive a 1912 physiology exam? This challenge reminds me of the time at university, when I crammed all night to learn all the scientific terms and mechanisms to pass those biology and physiology tests. 😅 For this test, I don't want it to be too formal with no multiple choice and no instant feedback. Thus, I decided to add some interactivities with witty feedback and instant results. I also applied Bloom's Taxonomy to classify the questions. Feel free to share any thoughts or feedback! Happy to hear from you!
