Hello, Does anyone have a simple template or guide they use with SMEs when asking them to review content in Review 360? Would love to be able to attach something simple my review requests so SMEs know what they are looking for, and how to provide feedback. What I have found online tends to be more aimed at a developer audience. Thanks!38Views1like4CommentsQuiz showing a blank question when drawing from the question bank
When I publish a quiz that draws from a question bank, I get a blank question among the published questions. I deleted all blank questions from the question bank and republished it, yet the blank question still appears. Please help. I have attached the SCORM file here.37Views0likes2CommentsSL Template Slide for importing questions
Hello, I'm new to Storyline and currently preparing to import over 1,000 multiple-choice questions from text files. Before doing so, I’d like to set up a basic slide template to streamline the process and avoid repetitive adjustments afterward. Specifically, I want to predefine essential layers (such as correct, incorrect, and review), choose the desired font type and size, and possibly include a few custom states. My goal is to ensure that once the questions are imported, they automatically adopt the formatting and structure I've set in the template. Please please please help me!106Views0likes4CommentsLess Is More Is Not Just About Content, but About Learning Experience
After working in instructional design for many years, I've come to realize that "less is more" is often misunderstood. It is usually associated with simplifying content, such as making courses shorter, reducing information, or avoiding overload. But in my experience, it goes beyond that. Even when we have correctly identified what learners need to know, do, or change in order to meet business goals, there is still another important question: How should we design the learning experience itself? The goal should be to help learners learn with the least unnecessary effort. Not by removing depth or rigor, but by removing friction that does not contribute to learning. Over the years, I've seen many different approaches to learning design. Some learning experiences feel under-designed, where the lack of structure or intention makes it difficult for learners to stay engaged or understand the purpose of the content. I've also seen cases where, in an effort to avoid being "too simple" or "boring," additional layers of interaction, visual elements, or gamification are introduced. Many of us have probably spent hours building advanced interactions in Storyline or carefully structuring a Rise course because we wanted the learning experience to feel more engaging. There is nothing wrong with using these features. The question is whether they genuinely support learning. Sometimes these additions are driven more by what the tool allows us to build than by what learners actually need. As a result, learners may end up spending more time completing interactions than understanding, retaining, or applying the knowledge that really matters. This is especially important in corporate learning. Learners are often balancing training with their daily responsibilities. Time is limited, and attention is limited. That is why I believe we should be intentional about where we add complexity. Interaction is not the problem. In fact, meaningful interaction is essential for learning. The key word is meaningful. The most valuable learning experiences are those that help learners understand concepts more deeply, retain what they have learned, and apply that knowledge in real work situations. This is where I choose to focus my design effort. Not on adding interaction for its own sake, but on identifying the moments in learning that truly matter. Instead of asking, "What cool Storyline feature can I use here?", I think we should be asking, "How does this interaction help learners understand, retain, or apply what they need to learn?" When we design with that intention, learning can often become simpler while also becoming more effective. That's the kind of learning experience I continue to strive for. I'd love to hear how you decide when an interaction is truly worth adding.315Views11likes12CommentsAI Avatar Videos and Accessibility
Hi Everyone! I'm working on an online orientation course and have created an AI generated Avatar to be the course's "guide." The way I have the Avatar set up is in video format so she can speak to the viewer. Right now the Avatar videos are set to Automatically play when the user is on the slide that a video is on. However, I'm trying to be cognizant of screen readers as I want the orientation course to be Accessible. I know that it's best practice to set videos up to either play when clicked or triggered but I kind of feel that that takes away from the role of the Avatar as the guide. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can set up these Avatar videos to make them work with a screen reader but not take away the guide role? Thanks!!93Views0likes3CommentsDON’T CLICK APPROVE YET.
Before spending credits on an AI video render, lock the story, references, camera direction, timing, and scene details.

Latest developments?
Hi Everyone. I just want an update on the current position of SCORM file editing software. I know that the best solution is still to have the original file that was used to publish the SCORM, but I have noticed an increasing number of companies offering software to allow you to: replace images, video, in a SCORM file. Editing text still appears to be limited? print the SCORM file as a pdf, Word or Powerpoint file. My question is, has anyone used a product like this. Was it any good?41Views0likes1CommentWhat's your workflow for keeping e-learning courses organized?
I'm creating a few e-learning courses and I'm looking for a better way to keep everything organized as the project grows. How do you manage your course files, revisions, and media assets to make updates easier later on? I'd love to hear any tips or best practices that have worked well for you.61Views0likes2Commentselearning as an evidence package for legal team
I'm looking for some advice from others using Articulate Storyline and Rise. Our organization is responsible for providing copies of completed training to our legal team when courses are involved in litigation or other legal matters. Historically, this was straightforward because our courses were primarily click-and-read, and we could provide a Word document containing the course script. As our courses have become much more interactive, with scenarios, branching, knowledge checks, drag-and-drops, simulations, and other learner interactions, we're finding that a traditional script no longer accurately represents what the learner actually experienced. For those of you using Storyline or Rise, what do you provide to your legal, compliance, or records management teams when they need a legally defensible copy of a course? Do you still create a script? If so, what does it include? Do you archive videos, screenshots, source files, SCORM packages, or something else? Have you developed a standard "evidence package" for each published course? If your legal team prefers a searchable document, how are you balancing that need with accurately documenting interactive content? I'm especially interested in hearing from government, healthcare, financial services, or other highly regulated organizations, but I'd appreciate insights from anyone who's established a sustainable process. Thanks in advance for sharing what's worked or what you've learned the hard way!163Views1like9CommentsBest Certification for Breaking into Instructional Design field
