First time creating my own number variable! Woohoo!š Thanks to this training Using Number Variables in Storyline, I was able to use a number variable for the coffee calculator. As always, I used Articulate AI and 360 content for videos, art, icons, and TTS. I also used Gemini for a couple of videos. I like these challenges because it gives me a chance to learn new skills, inject some humorš¤ , and be creative with visual design. I have to comply with corporate templates and branding guidelines all day, so I enjoy the freedom with these challenges!The best weigh to make an espresso
Hello! I like to mimic real-life machinery, dials, switches, and buttons in eLearning where it's appropriate. Sometimes learning by doing can be very literal. But these features can also impact #accessibility. In this week's coffee-themed demo, I have ensured the drag and drop, slider and dial interactions are also accessible from the keyboard. All of the vectors in this week's demo were 'handmade' in PowerPoint and Storyline using the 'merge shapes' feature. Most of my time was spent making sure the interactions perform as intended when the keyboard is used instead of a mouse. But I'm pretty pleased with the overall effect. What do you think? PLAY HERE
Using picture as slider, not only thumb (slider itself invisible)
Hello everyone, I'm not very advanced in using Storyline yet, but I hope that my question is not too obvious. I have tried searching but have not found an answer under my keywords. I would like to animate a fly swatter as a slider. It should scare away a fly on a window and I would like to use a slider for the movement (but the typical slider should be invisible). I thought this would work because I found a very similar example on YouTube (a hand with a computer mouse moving back and forth on a desk - picture attached. It is a tutorial, but I don't get, how he has done the slider itself). I can certainly solve this differently (e.g. via motion path), but the whole exercise was really just to see how I can create really individual sliders that no longer look like sliders at all. So it's not just about filling the thumb of the slider with an image. Does anyone have the crucial hint for me? Many thanks in advance!170Views0likes5CommentsStoryline: Slide-to-Reveal Interaction Template

Description In this demo I used AI Assistant to create some paper computer screens. I then created a top and bottom version of those images and cut the screen out of the top version. I also created some paper cutout people and used them as a simple slider interaction. Attached is the source file with the paper cutout images. Use them as you wish. Example View the example here. Resources Learn to use sliders How to create that interaction About Me I love helping people learn to use the Articulate software to meet their needs at work. I especially like to help those new instructional designers who are trying their best to get a handle on things. I regularly contribute to the training team's blog where we assemble all sorts of tips and tricks. Follow it to stay up to date. I post every Wednesday to Articulate's company blogwhere I share more general instructional design tips. I used to write the Rapid E-learning Blog. Still lots of good tips & tricks in there.

View the example Description Hereās my demo for this weekās challenge. Itās an interactive graphic from a fictional employee health and wellness course. For the comparison, I focused on why wellness matters, using three bar charts and a slider to show the relationship between employee health and key business outcomes. šØ Design Concept I went with a darker look for this oneāsomething a little more polished and modern. I used a background graphic and a simple, clean layout to keep the focus on the data and interaction. āļø How It Works As you drag the slider, the bar charts update to show how employee health affects three areas: absenteeism, performance, and employer cost. Lower employee health = higher absenteeism and cost, lower performance Higher employee health = better performance, reduced absenteeism and cost The absenteeism and cost charts use the same graphic, just with mirrored values to create an inverse relationship. Once I set up the first trigger to change a graphicās state based on the slider value, I was able to duplicate it and adjust the value for each step. That made it easy to build and maintain without having to start from scratch each time. š” Production Tips This type of interaction requires a lot of object states to get the animations working smoothly. The inverse relationship between performance and absenteeism/cost tripped me up a bit. Once I figured out a formula for the states, it was much easier to keep things consistentāand even easier to rebuild when I needed to tweak things later on. š¬Feedback?
