Mentors PLEASE!
What advice can you give to a lonesome Instructional Designer at a mid-size company that is a unicorn at her company, meaning, I don't really have anyone to bounce ideas off of, check usability or practice new skills with. Other than online communities (which are amazing) what are some other tis and tricks you could share to help me boost my skills and try new things that will help me progress as an ID but also give my company what they need/want?Exact source content
We have our source documents validated and an agreement that explains we will keep the content exactly as it is given. We want to create a course that will have the exact information our source document has ie table of contents, module intent, course outline...however, Rise 360 seems to be taking the liberty to provide its own spin on things. Is there a way to have it create a course that is closer to the exact resource we uploaded?SCORM File Upload Failed: SuccessFactors
Howdy friends! I'm here seeking an answer that seems to be a mixed bag of sorts. We're trying to get a couple of courses uploaded and SuccessFactors keep throwing back a "Failed" status. The error log is quite robust, but it keeps pointing to a .jpg file within the SCORM itself. However, even after removing it and redownloading the file, it's still there?? I'd rather not clog this discussion with the whole error, but I went through the whole thing.. the error with the .jpg is the only one. Has anyone had this issue before? What did you do to solve it? I went through each file in the SCORM and didn't find any spaces or special characters. We also have a file size limit in our system (200MB) and these files are well below that. Any help is appreciated! - Justin GarrettRise 360 Default Line Heights and Font Sizes
Hi E-Learning Heroes, I’m working to ensure our Rise 360 courses meet WCAG accessibility standards, particularly around line height (minimum 1.5) and font size for readability. Here’s what I’ve noticed: The default line spacing for the text blocks seems to be around 1.9, which is great. When I manually set line spacing to 1.5 in the editor, it looks much tighter, almost like single spacing. (not that you need to, but I was curious) Knowledge check blocks and some interactive elements appear to use much smaller line heights and font sizes than body text. Has anyone documented the actual default line heights and font sizes for each block type in Rise 360? If you have this information in a table format, that would be incredibly helpful for accessibility checks. Thanks in advance!Prompt suggestions for AI to write intro/instruction for interactive elements
Hi All, I have recently watched the tutorial on AI Assistant: Custom Copy Editing Prompts and found it very helpful. It got me thinking about what I struggle most with when creating learning content and what would make my life easier. I've realised I really DON'T enjoy writing short intro, explainer or instruction text for interactive elements within my elearns so I end up putting in placeholder text (as shown below 😂) and was wondering if anyone has come up with any prompts for the AI Assistant that actually work? I have tried numerous prompts but get stuck because there is no way to reference 'the block below' or instruct the AI to refer to the content in the block below. I did think that it might be possible to get Storyline AI to summarise any interactive elements I create, then ask AI to turn it into an instruction or something but haven't tried this out yet. Look forward to seeing if anyone has a hack to make my life easier!Using AI for testing accessibility
Hello community, I am conducting some research and would value any insights from the wealth of experience here. Accessibility testing of my projects can take up a significant amount of time of the project development lifecycle. Using a combination of manual checks and automated tools to ensure content meets WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. I have found that the new code block in Rise is extremely useful and I am able to use AI tools such as Co-Pilot / Gemini etc to test the HTML in these blocks with great success simply by pasting the code in and providing the appropriate prompt. Automated tools such as Microsoft Accessibly Insights, Lighthouse and AC lite, when used in combination are ok but I am wondering how I can best use AI to test a Rise or Storyline build in either its preview mode or when deployed on the LMS. Thanks - DavidLanguage Selection Screen Template
Hello everyone, can you please help? I have created videos in Synthesia that have multiple languages and I need an Articulate Rise or Storyline template that I can use that allows a learner to select the language they need to watch the video in at the start of the video. Does anyone have a template I could use or know where I could get one please? Thank you for any help in advance. ScottLooking to Connect on Review Practices
Hello ELH community! I am Michal from Illinois. I design learning experiences in higher education and compliance training spaces and am brushing up on Storyline and Rise. I am especially interested in how teams structure review processes or maintain quality consistency across multiple designers. How do you handle this in your context? Excited to exchange insights and connect.What’s your “Figure It Out” moment in learning design?
Thanks to everyone who joined today’s Learning Luminaries with Tim Slade! Whether you attended the session or not, this thread is your space to share takeaways, exchange examples, and ask follow-up questions. 💡 Key takeaways 1️⃣ “FIFO” — Figure It ___ Out. Growth happens when you’re pushed outside your comfort zone. The best work often comes from rolling up your sleeves and figuring it out as you go. 2️⃣ Great learning = great experience. Instructional design is either elevated or detracted from the experience surrounding it — great visuals, an intuitive UI, and accessibility elevate the learning; poor design undermines it. 3️⃣ Stay practical about trends. AI, VR, gamification… tools will change, but the fundamentals stay steady. Wait for a real use case before jumping on the next shiny thing. 4️⃣ Readiness isn’t a feeling — it’s action. You don’t need permission to start. Competence builds confidence, and both come from doing the work. 5️⃣ Be an expert in your experience, not just your craft. Tim’s advice for unlocking potential: your lived experiences are your superpower — share them freely. 💬 Let’s talk Drop a note in the comments about your own “figure it out” moment. What did you try, and what did you learn? Feel free to link or screenshot an example if you have one!
