Good podcasts have a way of fully immersing you in a story with nothing but audio. Using clever narrative pacing, engaging voiceovers, and sometimes even atmospheric background music, you’re drawn into the story and almost compelled to keep listening. There’s lots we can borrow from that format to make our own e-learning courses more gripping—which is where this example comes in! This mini-course plays with the style of a popular true crime podcast to sift through the evidence of an admittedly silly mystery. Using the storytelling techniques from that medium, you get pulled into the different motives of three suspects. And an interactive 360° image of the crime scene puts you in the shoes of the investigators, searching for potential clues. It’s incredibly easy to incorporate audio into your Storyline 360 courses, whether it was edited in another program or recorded directly in the app. Then, once you’ve added audio to your project, it takes no time at all to also include closed captioning—so it’s accessible to all your learners. And while this particular example focused on solving a mystery, you can use this same combination of podcasting techniques and interactive 360° images to enhance any kind of story-based content.

Working with voice talent? If so, you may find that sending along a storyboard document as a recording script is a nice little timesaver. However, in my experience,thatapproachdoesn't always scale well for morecomplex, branched projectsbecause things get tricky when it comes timeto matchup audio clips to individual feedback layers in Storyline. That's where this audio script format comes in handy. It's a Word doc with a simple 3 column table format. The first columnis aspace to record a reference number that coincides with thestoryboard and/or .story file. The second column is forcapturing the script that needs recording. And the third column is a space for calling out any pronunciation pointers to the voice talent and/or notes for yourself or adeveloper. While a little time-consuming to set-up, using this format is agreat way to easeSME approval of a script before it's recorded—and it saves you development timeonce you get that audio back from the voice talent since every clip is clearly mapped to its place in your course.
