How are You Using Drag-and-Drop Interactions in E-Learning? #468
Using Drag-and-Drop in E-Learning#468: Challenge | Recap If there’s one e-learning interaction that belongs in every instructional designer’s toolkit, it’s drag-and-drops. Drag-and-drop interactions are a fun way to engage learners and encourage them to interact with the screen. They’re also one of the most flexible interactions you can create. So, whether you’re designing straightforward question slides or custom freeform slides, drag-and-drop interactions are one of the best ways to get learners to stop, think, and interact with the content. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about. 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share a drag-and-drop interaction to show how they can be used in e-learning. You can use any authoring tool you like and make it as simple or custom as you have time for. Note: Since Storyline’s drag-and-drop interactions aren’t currently keyboard accessible, they can create serious barriers for learners who rely on keyboard navigation or use screen readers.

Using Tabs Interactions in E-Learning#448: Challenge | Recap Tabs interactions are one of the most popular interactions in e-learning. They’re super flexible and come in all shapes, sizes, and designs. The reason tabs are so popular is that they let your learners explore groups of content without having to leave the current slide. No need to jump around between different slides or scenes. 2022 tabs examples | 2023 tabs examples And for course designers new to e-learning or just getting started with Articulate Storyline 360, tabs interactions are a fantastic way tolearn Storyline’s core building blocks: slides, states, layers, and triggers. We use tabs-style activities all the time to teach Storyline in our workshops, webinars, and tutorials. And tabs interactions are what this week’s challenge is all about! 🏆Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example that shows how tabs interactions can help organize and group related content in e-learning. New users Keep it simple if you're new to Storyline—don't worry about fancy visuals or conditional interactivity for now. Instead, focus on inserting objects, adding button states, shape tools, formatting, and alignment. It's all about understanding Storyline's building blocks: states, layers, triggers, and slides. Experienced users For the seasoned pros, try kicking it up a notch. Try using conditions to trigger actions when your learners click all the tabs. Experiment with conditional events on each slide layer. Create animated tabs using the new emphasis animations. Share Your Project Files! It’s no secret community members love freebies! It’s also no secret that the challenges are one of the most visible ways course designers get their work in front of the community.

Using the 0px Motion Path Trick#445: Challenge | Recap Happy New Year, E-Learning Heroes This week's challenge is a bit off the beaten path compared to what we usually do. Instead of diving into a popular feature (sliders,dials,variables) or a common interaction (tabs,timeline,accordion), we're zooming in on a more unique, lesser-known use of a feature. Think of this as a sandbox challenge. Check out this example and see what I mean. Sugary Drinks by Annabelle Grew Why is this interesting? Aside from the creative concept and visual design, what really grabbed my attention here is the approach Annabelle took to put this whole project together. Typically, drag-and-drops are set up with just a fixed number of draggable objects, right? That's perfectly fine if you're dealing with, say, under ten items. But here's where it gets juicy: imagine you've got dozens of objects, and you want them all to be draggable. Now, the standard move would be to create individual objects for each drag item. But let's face it, this method works, but it can make editing and managing the slide a real challenge. That's why knowing your tools can really help save you time and work quicker. How does it work? There's only one drag object in the project. The drag cube has a motion path with alength of 0 pxand a duration of .10 seconds. Each time the sugar cube is dropped on the target, the trigger tells the sugar cube to move its motion path. Because the motion path is set to0 px, it resets the sugar cube to its default starting position of the sugar cube. Brilliant, right? It's not just about what you create but how you create it that can make all the difference. And that's what this week's e-learning challenge is all about! 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example that uses the 0px length motion path trick. You can recreate an existing example or play with ideas that show potential uses for this technique. Two More Examples Reset an Object's Position In this example, Ron used the0 px motion pathin a way that's not just about duplicating objects. Instead, it's used to play multiple audio clips from multiple objects. The 0 px motion path resets the object's position after the learner drops the object on a single target. Ron's got adetailed forum postwhere he breaks down how he built his project.

Drag-and-Drop Sorting Activities#439: Challenge | Recap Drag-and-drop sorting activities are a great way to evaluate learners' ability to identify items by dragging them to different drop targets. One of the most common versions of this activity is designed around whether items should be kept or discarded. Somepopular versionsof this popular interaction include: file it or trash it keep it or discard it healthy choice or unhealthy choice required or optional report it or ignore it A variation might includethree options, where the third choice is for "optional information." Another variation could be asingle drop target choicewhere users identify only the "keep it" or the "toss it" items. In either case, this common interaction should be in every course designer's toolkit. And that's what this week's challenge is all about. Let's look at a few examples. Comstar New Hire Orientation Here’s a drag-and-drop version that asks learners to identify permissible items for the workplace. Click here to view the example Creating Effective Meetings This is another version of the keep-it-or-toss-it interaction. In this example, learners are asked to identifyrequired and optional items. Click here to view the example Giving Effective Reviews It’s not always necessary to include two drop targets. In this example, learners choose the necessary items by placing them into a folder graphic. The unnecessary items are left on the slide.

View on YouTube 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example of a keep-it-or-toss-it interaction. The examples above all focus on office and workplace topics. Feel free to apply this model to any industry or topic for your example. If you have extra time this week, consider sharing a few versions of your original interaction. For example, if your original demo uses drag-and-drop, try reworking your file to show how it could function as a text entry or click-and-reveal interaction. ✨ Share Your E-Learning Work Comments: Use the comments section below to link your published example and blog post.

E-Learning Menus and Navigation#79:Challenge|Recap Intuitive navigation is an important element in e-learning design. Course designers who stick with default player menus usually don’t have to worry about user interface (UI) design since player manages the navigation. One reason rapid e-learning became so popular with instructional designers is because the tools generated the course menu, freeing IDs to design content rather than program course menus. If there’s a downside to prebuilt menus, it’s that they encourage linear, click-and-read courses. Custom navigation menus, like those often used in nonlinear courses, can permit learners to jump around the course as they choose. But moving beyond traditional menu navigation means course designers need to think more like UI designers. To jumpstart this week's challenge, I’ve rounded up some creative navigation examples your fellow community members have shared. Game Navigation Video game consoles, traditional board games, and tablet-inspired menus are excellent ways to seek inspiration. Game Center Template by Tom Washam Tabs Navigation Tabs are the most popular type of menu navigation we see in courses. They’re highly customizable and can be created using a variety of shapes and styles. If you go with a tabs menu, please cross-post in the tabs challenge.

Using Hints and Clues in E-Learning#367: Challenge | Recap In a recent challenge, Jonathan wrote about his quiz makeover and how he removed the default submit button to increase the pace of his quiz. Triggering choices based on click events is an excellent approach for many skill-and-drill quizzes because it removes the extra step of clicking a submit button. However, there are also times when it’s appropriate to delay feedback and use helpful hints to guide the learner toward the correct choice. Rather than immediately showing correct or incorrect feedback, try challenging your learners with a hint or prompt. You can give learners the option to view or display hints without requiring any action from the learner. How you provide learners hints is up to you. And showing hints is what this week’s challenge is all about. Showing Hints After a Number of Attempts You can delay giving feedback by showing hints after the learner answers incorrectly. Using a number variable, you can provide helpful hints after several missed attempts or provide personalized hints for each missed attempt. View the examples | Download Video Tutorial Here's a quick overview of how to set up the counter and show hints after a specific number of missed attempts. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to show how hints can be used in e-learning.

Drag-and-Drop Practice Activities#380: Challenge | Recap Drag-and-drop interactions are a great way to allow learners to practice new tasks or processes—in a realistic way. While drag-and-drop interactions are often used as quizzes with common “Correct/Incorrect” feedback. But there’s so much more you can do with freeform drag-and-drops to encourage learners to practice new skills and interact with your content. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples.
