Reimagining Course Intros with 3D Motion
There’s more than one way to begin an eLearning course; and sometimes, sometimes the best way isn’t with text content, but with atmosphere. I’ve always been inspired by how airline safety videos set the tone before a flight begins. They take a routine moment and turn it into something memorable through motion, storytelling, and design. In this short navigation intro, I demo how to bring that same prelaunch energy into your course. With 3D motion and audio cues, you can instantly draw your learners in, before a single concept is even introduced. See it in action here: https://www.redesignedminds.com/Audio/story.html I designed this to spark engagement, proof that learning experience design gets fun when you experiment with 3D, soundscapes, animation, and visual storytelling. Here’s a quick tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62MRlM1iz0MDesigning Immersive Phone Conversations in Storyline
Ever have two characters talk in a training module, but it still feels flat; even with speech bubbles, audio, and triggers? This (FREE) Storyline phone conversation template changes that. Whether you're designing for sales, compliance, healthcare, or support, it creates real, layered convos that feel like you're eavesdropping on a call. Animated phone effects Realistic voiceover dialogue Transparent APNG waveforms (way better than GIFs!) Custom triggers for pick-up/end call Clean, modern layout with animated text Watch how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMpUcYJRNnE Preview the demo: https://www.redesignedminds.com/Discuss/story.html Download it free (attached below) If your training includes a conversation, this is how you bring it to life.Which LMS are you using?
Our current LMS (Litmos) is up for renewal and we're reviewing what else is out there. While changing LMS's is a big job, we feel that while once it was leading, Litmos is lagging behind in features and updates, and the admin side is clunky compared to other more modern LMS's. We're looking for an easy to use, but powerful, admin interface, robust reporting and learner insights, easily customisable for the look and feel, engagement tools such as social learning or allowing learners to connect through discussion forums, to name a few. I have contacted both Absorb and Continu who will both be giving me a demo next week, but wanted to know - what LMS are you using and what are the pros and cons?Live Workshop After Students Complete Online Course
Hi there! We have an hourlong live class that meets every week. Before class, the students are supposed to complete the corresponding module before attending class. It's very much set up like a college class. But up until now, the live workshop has just been repeating the content they just learned. What should I do instead to make it more of a discussion and not a lecture?Storyline Closed Captioning-adding Multiple Languages
Hello! Anyone come up with an easy way to add multiple closed captioning files to a Storyline project. RISE allows for multiple languages when inserting an MP4 video as easy as uploading the multiple .VVT files, but I do not see an easy way when adding audio to a Storyline project to add multiple languages for the Closed Captioning file. I only see you can import one or do one manually. Any thoughts to be able to add ten or more languages as closed captioning in my Storyline projects? Thank you!Rise and motion sickness
We've recently had an email about one of our Rise courses which includes a complaint about it being inaccessible to users who may experience cybersickness or have a vestibular disorder. We've been informed that: the movement side-to-side and auto movement has no bellcurve on it (slow-fast-slow) which is specifically designed to stop motion sickness - it's said to be standard across nearly all viewing platforms. ---- The course that we've built has block animations turned off, but does include a process component. Is there anything that we can do to make this more accessible? As far as I can see from the Rise accessibility report, it is compliant with WCAG AAA around animations, but we'd like to know how to support users in the future or if there's anything we can do to our current courses to improve this. So, 1) Are we correct in our thinking that Rise is complaint with WCAG in terms of its animation speeds and settings? Or is there something missing that other 'standard viewing platforms' have? 2) Is there anything that we can do, or software we can recommend, to our learners?Slider- need help troubleshooting
Hello- I am trying to use a slider to show different layers but I cannot get it to work. I am unsure where I have gone wrong or steps I may have forgotten. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is a screenshot of the setup I have for the triggers and layers. Thank you! KayleeLarge Sim Projects
A question came up on the community chat about large simulator projects. Just my way of doing this. In the past I was asked to create a course on a computer program that had 5 main functions with over 25 different sub-functions. I divided the 5 functions into separate projects. This made it easier to keep track of slides and information. The subfunctions were divided into scenes. This made it easier to review and send to stakeholders to review and approve. Once the scenes were done and approved, I made a scene to bring it all together with some intro information, objectives, and anything else that was needed to start that function section. This can be used as one course or imported into a master all-inclusive course. Just my thoughts.
