Going past gamification to creating an actual game (example linked)!
I've been testing the limits of what Storyline can do over the years in various jobs/contracts/personal projects, and I finally took the time out to create something that can actually be shared with others! In this example, I had to leverage tons of variables and states, audio/scene tricks and balancing, etc. to try and create one seamless experience. The project contains an experience/leveling system (which opens up more options later on), branching paths, drag and drops, audio and video tricks, and all kinds of other things. If anyone is curious as to how I got anything to work, I'm free to answer here, which is why I started this discussion.

Hello community, I am looking for any ideas on how to simulate social learning in RISE? Or storyline? Learner discussions, submissions, and commenting on submissions. Is there any way to create this with Articulate or an add-on? Thanks in advance! Kathleen3D Model Embed: model-viewer - including AR!
Hi all, Even though Sketchfab is a great way to embed 3D models into your Storyline 360 courses, sometimes you might just need a simpler approach, without having to worry about subscriptions etc. model-viewer by Google is an excellent alternative: https://modelviewer.dev/ It's open source (https://github.com/google/model-viewer) It's fast and powerful Can be embedded without JavaScript triggers ('normal' web embed) Works in AR, including iOS! Transparent embed Please see the following example (open on a mobile device to test AR): https://360.articulate.com/review/content/6579ffc4-f076-4d8c-a820-5dd374e9c3e8/review Photo taken on iPhone 11 (AR): How to embed a model-viewer into Storyline: Insert > Video > Video from Website... Add your model-viewer embed code To allow embedding, include a 'dummy' <iframe> at the end (I tend to use width and height to set aspect ratio), i.e. <iframe src="https://127.0.0.1" width="16" height="9" frameborder="0"></iframe> I have included the project below. Get in touch if you need more help implementing it! PJ Palomaki Digital Innovation Lead AVT Connect, Brighton, UKInteractive discussions in modules or Reach?
Hi, I've been working with Rise for the past 4 years and currently use an external LMS. With a couple of our courses, I have created a discussion forum within the LMS for the groups learning purposes. So, I am considering moving to Reach as we are a very small not for profit. My question is, is there something we can use in the Articulate group that would substitute for this? I am trying to create an alternative so we can still have an active monitored discussion and use Reach as our LMS. Thoughts? TIA...Table with row headings
I need to be able to create a table in either Storyline or Rise that has both column headings AND row headings, and I need it to be 508 accessible and properly read out both headings along with cell contents. As best I can tell, both products only support column headings. The recommendation is to use an image of a table and then describe it in alt text, which I know my 508 auditor will not accept. Has anyone found a solution to this?Enhancing your e-Learning cource with real-world applications in the case of srd status checker
Creating engaging and effective e-learning courses requires a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. One of the best ways to achieve this is by incorporating real-world examples that resonate with your learners. In this article, we explore how integrating a real-world tool like the SRD Status Checker into your e-learning courses can enhance the learning experience and provide practical value to your students. 1. Contextual Learning with Real-World Tools One of the biggest challenges in e-learning is making the content relatable and applicable to real-life situations. By using tools like SRD Status Checker as a case study or practical example, you provide learners with a tangible application of the concepts they are studying. For instance, in a course about social services or financial assistance programs, you can demonstrate how the SRD Status Checker helps individuals track their Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant applications efficiently. 2. Interactive Learning Modules Interactive modules are a cornerstone of effective e-learning. Incorporating SRD Status Checker into your course can involve creating interactive simulations where learners can practice using the tool. This hands-on approach not only reinforces theoretical knowledge but also builds practical skills that learners can apply outside the course. For example, you can design a scenario where learners navigate the SRD Status Checker platform, submit a mock application, and interpret the status updates. 3. Building Problem-Solving Skills Real-world tools like SRD Status Checker can be used to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Presenting learners with scenarios where they must use the tool to solve specific problems can enhance their analytical abilities. For example, you can create a module where learners are given various financial scenarios and must determine the best way to manage them using the SRD Status Checker. This approach makes learning more dynamic and relevant. 4. Engaging and Relevant Content Learners are more engaged when the content is relevant to their needs and interests. By integrating SRD Status Checker into your e-learning courses, you address a real need for understanding how to navigate financial assistance programs. This relevance increases learner motivation and engagement, leading to better retention and application of knowledge. Highlighting the importance and utility of the SRD Status Checker can make the course content more compelling. 5. Community and Support The Articulate community is a great platform for sharing resources and strategies for building better courses. Sharing how you have successfully integrated real-world tools like SRD Status Checker into your e-learning courses can inspire and assist other course creators. Provide detailed examples, templates, and best practices to help others enhance their courses. By contributing to the community, you not only support others but also gain valuable feedback and ideas to further improve your own courses. In conclusion, incorporating real-world applications like the SRD Status Checker into your e-learning courses can significantly enhance the learning experience. By providing context, interactivity, problem-solving opportunities, and relevant content, you create a more engaging and effective educational environment. Sharing these strategies within the Articulate community can help others build better courses, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and collaboration.How do you make e-learning engaging and not just engaging?
I've been asked to brainstorm our problem with our knowledge transfer training engagement. None of it trains in a way that asks the learner to apply the knowledge related to the tasks they carry out in their job roles. In our case, it always turns into a variation of the talking PowerPoint with a video, essentially a self-study variant of a lecture with an MC at the end. When I want to apply interactivity, I bump my head into the usual suspects: Click to reveal, click a hot spot, click and drag to sort, click and drag to match pairs, and click the hot spot. Something with textual input. The problem with those is that they seem to work more like behavioural tar pits dug in front of the learners, or a Next button that hides, to slow them down. They do not actually give the learner a chance for relevant interaction that correlates to the topics taught. I've worked with Short Sims, where you create branching and feedback depending on choice. These work well, but are a bit more challenging to make. Are there other I might have missed? Apart from making nicer slides and even better videos with enthusiastic presenters, preferably SMEs.The Hidden Power of Self-Motivation - Articulate Storyline
Hey everyone! I made a cool e-learning project called "The Hidden Power of Self-Motivation" I used ChatGPT to create the content, and made it interactive with Articulate Storyline. To make it even more fun, I added a little touch of JavaScript. An amazing experience underwater. Check it out now and discover the amazing power of self-motivation! Project link Project Process In general, the most important feature of this project is that the buttons move randomly and work continuously. Another important feature is that fish and bubbles constantly appear and move in a cycle. As you know, there is a timeline in the storyline and it is difficult to show continuous movement unless you use loops or gifs. In this project, I pushed the limits and made the storyline application look like a web page. It may seem easy, but this project took me weeks to make. The most challenging part for me was doing this on a single screen with a scrolling panel. Using a scrolling panel is more difficult than a normal screen, especially integrating move animation into an element. There is a huge difference between the first stages of this design and this one. Let's move on to the project steps; First you need to add a scrolling panel. To lengthen the scrolling panel, you must add a long rectangle and extend it downwards. At the top I added the title of the project, the iceberg and the surface line of the sea. Then you add the items you want to appear on the screen one by one. Items in the Project; Jellyfish gif jumping fish gif little fish gif Buttons ovals for bubble Sand, stone, crab for the ground... I added a bubble image inside the ovals to make them look like real water droplets. As you can see there is a lot of movement on the fish and the bubbles. You need to carry these animations from the bottom of the water to the finish line. It should disappear when the movement is finished. I created a loop to ensure that these items run continuously when the project is open. This move works for certain periods of time, and I added a trigger to each of them so that it works again when the animation is completed. The same goes for my fish gifs. When the animation of the fish in the upper part ends, the fish in the lower part continue to move and move forward. Our work is still not done :) Now we need to define the codes for our buttons so that they move randomly. The purpose of this is to make them look like bubbles in the water. var tl = gsap.timeline () .to(theObject,{ xPercent: "random(-7, 7, 3)", //chooses a random number between -20 and 20 yPercent: "random(-7, 7, 2)", duration:1, ease:"none", repeat:-1, repeatRefresh:true // gets a new random x and y value on each repeat }) There are two javascript codes, the reason for this is to prevent the buttons from doing the same random movement. When we are done with the Home Page, we move on to layers. There is a layer for each button. We fill the layers and add a trigger to open them when clicked. Yes, the steps of the project were like this. Now it's time to export. I hope I helped you. Enjoy it :)
