At a glance, see how many active learners have logged into your Reach 360 account. The Active Learner Usage tab lists the number of active learners for your account on a month-by-month basis for the current billing term. What is an active learner? Reach 360 is tailored to your needs with flexible pricing based on your number of active learners. Each unique learner with training activity in a 30-day period after your annual term starts counts as an active learner, with the additional days included in the final period. That means a learner becomes an active learner only when they begin the first lesson of a course or take a microlearning. Viewing a course or learning path summary without starting the training doesn't count as a training activity. They don't have to complete the training to be counted as an active learner. The current active learner count for your subscription is available on your Teams dashboard. At the top of the report, you can select from multiple billing periods (if available), filter by group, and check at a glance how many learners have been active in your account in relation to your total number of annual seats. Each report entry lists the number of active learner seats used for the period and a cumulative total of all seats used for the year. Note: Unlike activity reports, this report does log activity under a 10-second duration.337Views0likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Converting Text to Speech
Speed up course development by converting text to speech right in Storyline 360. For example, use the text-to-speech feature to quickly narrate a course for stakeholder review or to localize narration in different languages. You can even choose the voice and language to make sure every word sounds right. Watch this video demonstration, then check out the detailed instructions below. Converting Text to Speech Selecting Languages and Voices Updating Script Changes or Using a Different Voice Generating Closed Captions Replacing Text-to-Speech Narration with Recorded Narration Create Text-to-Speech with AI Assistant Bring narration to life with AI-generated voices that are highly realistic and customizable. Add your script, define voice settings, and let AI Assistant do the rest. Learn how to use AI Assistant to level up your course authoring game. Converting Text to Speech Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Audio drop-down arrow, and choose Text-to-Speech. When the Insert Text-to-Speech window appears, select a Language from the first drop-down list. This ensures that your words are spoken with the correct pronunciations. Choose a Voice (standard or neural) from the second drop-down list. You can hear what a voice sounds like by clicking the Preview Voice button next to the list. Type or paste your script into the text-entry field. Or, if you want to use your slide notes as your script, just click the Copy from Slide Notes button. You can convert up to 10,000 characters at a time. When using speech synthesis markup language (SSML), you can convert up to 3,000 characters for text and 3,000 for SSML tags. If your script is longer than that, break it into smaller chunks and generate more than one text-to-speech audio clip. Then, place the audio clips back to back on the timeline so they play in sequential order. See below for tips on pronunciation and phrasing. Keep the Generate Closed Captions box marked to add closed captions to your text-to-speech narration. Learn more about text-to-speech closed captions below. Click Insert to complete the process. You must have an internet connection to convert text to speech. If you're offline, Storyline 360 prompts you to connect to the internet and try again. Storyline 360 converts your text to narration, and it’ll appear as an audio clip on the slide’s timeline. The conversion process is fast, but lengthy scripts take longer to convert. Text-to-speech narration works just like other audio clips in Storyline 360, so you can use the built-in audio editor and audio tools to customize it. You can add as many text-to-speech clips as you want. You can even use different voices for different clips, which is great when creating a scene where two or more characters are conversing. Tips for Controlling Pronunciation and Phrasing Don't use abbreviations. Spell out words to make sure they're pronounced correctly. If a correctly spelled word isn't pronounced the way you want, try spelling it phonetically or adding hyphens between syllables—for example, Articulate vs. Articu-late. Use punctuation, such as commas and semicolons, when inserting brief pauses. For longer pauses, convert your text to speech, then open the clip in the built-in audio editor and insert silence where needed. Want more control? As of December 2023, you can use SSML to adjust the speaking rate, modify pronunciation, add pauses, and more. Selecting Languages and Voices Choose from various standard and neural languages and voices to enhance your training.

Or what if you want to switch to a different voice later? No problem. Storyline 360 makes it easy to update text-to-speech narration. Right-click your text-to-speech audio track on the slide’s timeline and choose Text-to-Speech from the context menu that appears. Or, select your text-to-speech audio track, go to the Options tab on the ribbon, and click Text-to-Speech. The Insert Text-to-Speech window opens with your original script. Edit the script as needed or choose a different voice—or both. Click Update. Generating Closed Captions Storyline 360 can generate closed captions that are automatically synchronized with text-to-speech narration, making your course more accessible. You can add closed captions at the same time you convert text to speech or add them later. Here’s how. Generate Closed Captions When You Convert Text to Speech Keep the Generate Closed Captions box marked to add closed captions at the same time you convert text to speech. Learn how to convert text to speech above. Update Existing Narration with Closed Captions Right-click your text-to-speech audio track on the slide’s timeline and choose Text-to-Speech from the context menu that appears. The Insert Text-to-Speech window opens with your script. Check the Generate Closed Captions box. Click Update.

You can already customize your subdomain in Reach 360, but what if you want to take things to the next level with a completely custom domain that you already own? It’s as easy as adding a couple of records to your domain name system (DNS) provider and then pointing your Reach 360 account to your new address. Once you’ve added your records to your DNS provider and everything is set up in Reach 360, traffic from your subdomain redirects to your new custom domain. Your original subdomain is preserved (unlike when you change your subdomain). If you ever stop using your custom domain, your Reach 360 address will revert to your original subdomain. Creating a CNAME Record Enter Your Domain Address Step 1: Creating a CNAME Record Before you can add your custom domain to your Reach 360 account, you’ll need to add a CNAME record to your DNS records. This is the hostname you’ll use to mask your Reach 360 site’s name. The record should follow this formula, including the dot after your hostname: your custom hostname. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.com. For example, if you wanted the hostname for your current Reach 360 site, glivy.reach360.com , to instead be learn.glivy.com , you would create a CNAME record in your DNS records that looked like this: learn.glivy.com. 60 IN CNAME custom.reach360.com. The steps to create a CNAME for your site will vary depending on your domain provider but, generally, you’ll need to add the CNAME directly to your DNS records. Contact the site where you registered your domain name if you need additional assistance. Note: Custom domain masking works only with web addresses that contain at least third-level domains. For example, learn.glivy.com and www.glivy.com are compatible, while glivy.com is not. Step 2: Enter Your Domain Address Once you’ve set up your CNAME record, it’s time to make the switch! If you’re an owner, navigate to Manage > Settings. Under URL, select Use my own domain, enter your custom domain URL, and click Submit. Click Confirm to complete the redirect from your current Reach 360 subdomain to your new custom domain. Once we validate your custom domain, we’ll send an email to everyone in your account notifying them of the change. If you want to return to your original subdomain after the redirect is complete, click Change and select Use a Reach 360 domain. Note: If you wish to use a different custom domain URL after you've already set a custom domain, you must first switch back to your original subdomain before you make any DNS changes. Once you've switched to a Reach 360 subdomain, repeat the steps above.1.9KViews0likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Working with Data-Entry Fields
Data-entry fields let you collect information from learners, which is stored in variables, can be adjusted with triggers, and displayed on any slide or layer in your course using references. Adding Data-Entry Fields Renaming Data-Entry Fields Renaming Data-Entry Variables Formatting Data-Entry Fields Formatting Data-Entry Text Using Data-Entry Fields to Trigger Actions and Perform Calculations Converting to Freeform Text-Entry Questions Using Variable References to Display Learners' Input Deleting Data-Entry Fields Adding Data-Entry Fields Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon and click Input. Choose either Text-Entry Field or Numeric-Entry Field. Text-entry fields accept alphanumeric characters. Numeric-entry fields accept numbers, decimals, and hyphens (for negative numbers). Use numeric-entry fields when you want to perform calculations. Draw your data-entry field on the slide or layer. Customize the instruction text in the field. When you add a data-entry field, Storyline automatically creates a variable to hold the data and a trigger to set the value of the variable to whatever the learner types in the field. See this in action here. Renaming Data-Entry Fields Storyline gives each data-entry field a default name, either Text Entry or Numeric Entry. We recommend giving them more intuitive names, so they're recognizable when adding triggers and creating freeform interactions. One way to rename a data-entry field is to right-click it, select Rename, enter a new name, and click OK. Another way is to double-click the data-entry field in the timeline to open it for editing, enter a new name, and press Enter on your keyboard. Renaming Data-Entry Variables It's also helpful to rename the variable that's tied to each data-entry field. Here's how: Click the Manage project variables icon in the Triggers panel. Double-click the variable you want to rename. Enter a new name and click OK. Formatting Data-Entry Fields To change the style, colors, and effects for a data-entry field, select the field you want to edit, go to the Format tab on the ribbon, and use the formatting options. The colors available on the Format tab come from your theme colors. Formatting Data-Entry Text You can format the instruction text in a data-entry field and the text that learners enter. Just select the field and use the font and paragraph options on the Home tab. Data-entry fields support these formatting options: Instruction Text Learners’ Input Font Font Size Font Color Bold Italics Horizontal Alignment Font Font Size Font Color Bold Italics Horizontal Alignment Using Data-Entry Fields to Trigger Actions and Perform Calculations Since the data that learners enter is stored in variables, you can use triggers and conditions to perform actions based on that data. If you're using a numeric-entry field, you can even perform calculations on learners input using Adjust variable triggers with mathematical operators. See this user guide to learn more about triggers and conditions. Converting to Freeform Text-Entry Questions You can convert a data-entry field into a freeform text-entry question if you want to track learners’ input in a quiz or survey. See this user guide for details. Tip: Only one data-entry field on a slide can be evaluated as part of a freeform text-entry question. Using Variable References to Display Learners' Input Since data-entry fields store learners' input in variables, you can display the values of those variables anywhere in your course using variable references. For example, you might use a text-entry field to ask learners for their names at the beginning of a course. Then you can personalize content with their names throughout the rest of the course. Just add a variable reference to any text box, caption, shape, or button. Deleting Data-Entry Fields To delete a data-entry field, select it and click Delete on your keyboard.
