30 TopicsMars Base Demo: Storyline Integration with Blender 360° Panoramic Renders UPDATED March 2026
I created this short e-learning demo for my Upwork portfolio, showcasing how to integrate custom-modeled 360° environments into Articulate Storyline. I wanted something unique, short, and interesting. Project Rationale: I chose a 3D-printed Mars habitat because the concept aligns with realistic solutions for future human life on Mars, making the demo feel grounded and relevant. To give the base a compelling and genuine purpose, I focused the learning content on growing crops on Mars (Martian agriculture). This subject was a natural fit, leveraging the extensive agriculture knowledge I've gained working with a client over the years, which is also why the base is appropriately named Rhizome Station. Technical Breakdown: 3D Modeling (updated March 2026): The Mars base was modeled in Blender (free and open-source software). I created procedural textures for most of the scene and Quixel Megascans assets for distant rocks and lab flora . Quixel megascan assets have now been replaced with my own. I also used Blender to model the 3D landscape you see as a backdrop on the computer screens. Interaction Assets: For the icons and images seen within the interactions, these were all done in Storyline using the built-in icons and AI images. Interaction: The experience uses seven linked 360° renders. To track progress, I rendered the images with a start/finish state, allowing a 'completion' green tick to display when the user returns to the main lab view. Audio: Narration was created using Storyline's AI voices. Future Plans: I'm planning to expand this into a full e-learning experience. The expanded course will start with the user in Earth's orbit learning about the Hohmann Transfer Orbit, and once they reach the base, they'll be able to explore different rooms (the living quarters are already built) and go on outdoor missions. I'll update the community when that larger version is complete, but it likely won't be until next year.

Hurdle to Overcome How could I open the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) awareness module in a way that immediately created tension, felt personal, and captured the learner’s attention from the very first moment? Solution Rather than opening this year’s PCI awareness module with traditional learning objectives, I chose to begin with a narrated scenario designed to set the stage. My goal was for learners to hear and see the weight of a potential cybersecurity lapse right away. Steps I Took To create this opening slide, I followed these steps: I wrote a short, highly detailed script that included backstory, multiple characters, and narrative depth (well, not so short!). 🤣 After reviewing it, my manager supported the scenario-based approach but felt the initial script missed the mark and revised it. I used Copilot to further refine the updated script. With the revised scenario in hand, I first prompted Canva AI to generate the character imagery. While promising, the results never quite matched the desired look. I then passed my image prompt through Copilot multiple times, refining it across at least four iterations. Once I landed on a clean, effective prompt, I fed it into Storyline360’s AI Assistant to generate the images and poses for the main character, Ava. The scenario narration was created using Storyline360’s AI voice: Brian (Man | Middle-aged | English | American accent | Social Media | Classy; Model 3, default settings). To introduce tension and a sense of movement, I drew inspiration from comic panels. Instead of static visuals, I cropped the images to panel-like frames and animated them in sequence, using cue points to drive the timing and flow. Lessons Learned Generative AI (GAI) prompting has become part of our daily workflow. Across my organization, we have access to tools like Adobe Express, Canva, and Articulate360, each with its own strengths and limitations. Key takeaways from this project include: Output from one GAI tool can be refined and reused in another to achieve stronger results. For example, after Canva AI didn’t produce the desired imagery, I used Copilot to refine the prompt and then fed that improved prompt into Storyline360’s AI Assistant. This experience reinforced an important truth: creativity matters even more in an AI‑powered world. The overall look and feel of this slide came from human decision‑making—mine—not from the tools alone. Conclusion The close collaboration between humans and generative AI produces results that are more effective and impactful than what either could create independently. Even with powerful learning‑focused AI tools, such as those in Articulate, achieving the desired outcome can still take time, and that’s okay. The more we experiment, prompt, and practice with these tools, the more efficient we become. Ideally, those efficiency gains translate into greater business impact through improved learning experiences and stronger employee performance. Click here to experience the demo.

This is a microlearning course teaching corporate learners how to quickly assign roles and set up user permissions in a fictitious workspace administration software, TaskFlow Pro. It includes a drag-and-drop simulation for hands-on practice, scenario-based instruction, and instant feedback. Built with Articulate Rise, Storyline 360, Figma, and Adobe Express. I used Storyline to build the simulation, Figma for the fictitious UI, and Rise to build the main course content. I also used Adobe Express to generate the badge awarded at the end of the course.

One of our recent projects involved developed a game-based, scenario-driven Custom eLearning Solution focused on Workplace Violence and Harassment Training. As part of our broader corporate training solutions and digital learning services, the goal was to move beyond traditional click-through compliance courses and create a learning experience where employees actively practice real-world decision-making. What we built: A scenario-driven course with 1–4 progressive levels Each level presents realistic workplace situations that require learner judgment Learners complete a knowledge check or quiz at the end of each level Successful completion unlocks a badge, reinforcing motivation and progression Why this project matters: Rather than relying on a traditional, click-through compliance approach, we designed this eLearning course to help learners practice real-world decision-making in a safe environment, supporting better recognition, prevention and response to workplace violence and harassment. Behind the scenes: Branching scenarios were designed to encourage reflection, not just right-or-wrong answers Feedback carefully crafted to explain why a response is appropriate Game mechanics were applied thoughtfully to maintain the seriousness of the topic What this project reinforced for us: When designed with intent, gamification can enhance engagement and retention, even for sensitive compliance topics. Tools used: Articulate Storyline 360 for course development Vyond for video creation Learning outcome: Participants will be able to identify, prevent and appropriately respond to workplace violence and harassment situations through practical, scenario-based decision-making.

Hey guys, I experimented with creating a self-reflection tool using prompt refinement. The idea was simple: after learning the theory, users should have a way to evaluate themselves and identify areas for growth. Here’s what I tried: Self-Assessment via Sliders: Users rate their competencies on different dimensions using sliders. Results Overview: Based on the ratings, the tool shows strengths and weaknesses. Next Steps: It suggests what to work on and provides mini action plans for improvement. It’s not perfect—especially in terms of content —but the goal was to make reflection visual, structured, and actionable. This was an iterative process, refining prompts (unfortunalty i dont know the prompt anymore) until I reached this concept (text is in german). Here it is: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/22f6d51c-972e-41d2-8cf9-4ea335044010/reviewSolved508Views2likes3CommentsSafety Hazard Identification Activity
Hello community! This is my first time posting an example. Primarily because the majority of what we create is confidential. This is an activity where the majority of the feedback images and text are AI-generated through SL. It consists of 2 scenes in which the user must find 10 and 11 hazards, respectively. I welcome all feedback! https://360.articulate.com/review/content/eea8d773-78fe-4b63-a5fc-80a3f25bc8c9/review492Views4likes0CommentsPowerful Positioning with AI
Built as a high energy portfolio concept, this project is an interactive Storyline experience that helps learners practice “Power Positioning” through short scenarios, branching choices, and coaching style feedback inside the module. Behind the scenes, I approached it like a real client build: clarified the performance need and audience, mapped the learner flow, drafted a lightweight storyboard, prototyped quickly, then iterated based on usability checks to keep the experience fast, clear, and visually consistent. What makes it stand out is the AI integration. The experience uses a ChatGPT API to analyze the learner’s typed response, generate custom strengths and next steps, and provide a 1 to 10 score, giving learners targeted coaching they can immediately apply on the job. A Sample Responses Key is available here.Solved615Views9likes14CommentsNew Code Block Game
It's been a long time since I shared my work, but I'm really pumped up about the potential of the new Code Block in Rise. I started with a basic idea and then started vibe coding. It's amazing what can be achieved in a short space of time, and have been resisting the temptation to just have fun, and instead focussed on keeping my work learning focussed. A couple of learnings: The power of the code block will be really unlocked if Articulate can... Allow us to upload zip folders with images in them. Everything says you can, but I have yet to have a single successful upload. Provide code/facility to allow a code that can report course completion based on the code i.e. when a game is completed completion can be sent - even better if scores can be included. When course continuation can be linked to code block completion it enables true gamification. Not being able to include images is a limitation, but not a blocker - you will notice I have included some very rudimentary graphics by encoding the images as base64, however it seems Rise has a limitation of not being able to read base64 strings longer than 500 characters at present. As I suspect will be the case for many others, I, work for a company with very stringent security policies, so we aren't allowed file storage solutions. If there can be a basic image storage allowance for zip code blocks, that changes the game! Would love your feedback you wonderful humans. Review LinkSolved1.1KViews3likes6Comments
