Designing Immersive Phone Conversations in Storyline
Ever have two characters talk in a training module, but it still feels flat; even with speech bubbles, audio, and triggers? This (FREE) Storyline phone conversation template changes that. Whether you're designing for sales, compliance, healthcare, or support, it creates real, layered convos that feel like you're eavesdropping on a call. Animated phone effects Realistic voiceover dialogue Transparent APNG waveforms (way better than GIFs!) Custom triggers for pick-up/end call Clean, modern layout with animated text Watch how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMpUcYJRNnE Preview the demo: https://www.redesignedminds.com/Discuss/story.html Download it free: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19AvmE7q3PAUbXoNKIViQtPNqCwUoFDQW/view?usp=sharing If your training includes a conversation, this is how you bring it to life.RISE- Automatic Certificate Creation
I've been playing around with how to create a custom certificate in a Rise course and I've finally found a workaround using an embedded form that creates and delivers a PDF. Check it out: https://share.articulate.com/IcrVo3X-PV5k7x9CMMFkx I've been struggling with this for a long time and I know a handful of you have been too. Hope it helps! ps. I used the AI Assistant to create this mini course based off of the video I recorded outlining the steps, which I also included as content within the course to follow along.Show Us Your AI Makeover!
Whether you joined the AI Assistant: Beyond the Basics webinar or are just starting to explore what the AI Assistant can do, this challenge is for you. In the session, we shared ways to go beyond quick drafts, using AI to help with the trickier parts of course creation, like writing questions, refining lessons, generating images, or even creating scenarios. Now it’s your turn to experiment and share what you’ve built. 💡 Show us your “AI Makeover” Post a quick before-and-after example of how you used AI Assistant to transform your content. You could share: A short “before” snippet — like SME notes, a few bullet points, a slide, or a paragraph of draft text The “after” — what AI helped you build from it (for example, an outline, lesson, quiz, or visual) A quick note about how you refined or customized what AI created ✨ Or just join the conversation: What parts of your workflow feel easiest to improve with AI right now? Where are you still experimenting or getting stuck? Have you discovered any prompt tricks or creative uses worth sharing? Let’s use this thread to keep building on what was learned in the session and learn from each other’s experiments along the way.Fun Animated Timer for Gamification Projects
Hi Articulate heroes, I wanted to highlight one very fast but fun-looking way to create timers for interactive projects. I've learned about this way from "Gamification Series; 05: Creating Tension with Timers." You can check out these amazing webinars Gamification series, and there was a few different ways to add timers to projects. I used it in my recent project "Cooking Frienzy" - Jeopardy-style cooking-game. (btw you can check out the full game: Cooking Frienzy So, here are the steps: 1) Create / find a "timer" picture - it could be any image with transparent background what works for your theme (in my case it is "Pomodoro" timer, made with AI help, saved as .png ) 2) Add this image as a picture (insert an image). 3) Go to Animation tab 4) Choose Exit Animation - "Wipe", go to "Effect Options" - "From Right". Set the animation timer for whatever time you need (10 sec., 30 sec., 1 min etc.) 5) Set triggers to what will happen after the timer is done (animation completed): i.e. jump to the next slide, show "result-fail" etc. 6) Preview and adjust if needed 🤞Character Expression/Pose Series Using Photo Characters?
I have a common problem in many of my e-learning projects. I want to have a photographic character, say a man at a desk on the phone, looking happy. I then want a version of him with an angry expression. I then want a version of him with an exhausted expression. I want to choose the age, race, etc. In addition, I want to be able to easily change the background, etc. Trying to find this kind of a character series has been difficult. I have resorted to finding stock video and then grabbing frames out of the video that represent the expressions. But I cannot adjust the backgrounds very easily. Does anyone know of an AI tool where you can create a photographic character, and then show the character in multiple poses/expressions/etc. Thanks for any advice!Impressed by Storyline´s AI Assistant
Hi everyone, I want to share how the AI assistant helped me out today. I was in the middle of manually adjusting the Feedback and Submit parameters in about 70+ hotspot slides—one by one, click by click—. I was getting exhausted, so I thought, "Let´s see if the AI can handle this," and wow... it did exactly what I asked in just a few seconds! If I had known sooner, I would have saved myself a ton of time. Don’t be afraid of asking the AI for help!Part 2 Follow Up: Rise Build System in Action
➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! The first follow up from Part 2 of the series is up — and this one demonstrates to examples of using the Rise Build System for a new build and a revision. The first demo walks through building an interactive display cards snippet using the intake and master prompts from the Rise Build System. The second demo shows how to use the Revision Prompt to make 3 changes (that were requested by users of the Rise Code Block Library) to the existing glossary code snippet. The resulting code can be downloaded in the code library. 👉 Part 1 - AI Voices in eLearning 👉 Part 2 - Building Rise Code Blocks 👉 Part 2 Follow Up: Rise Build System in Action 👉 Browse the Rise Code Block Library The second follow-up post is coming shortly: Prototyping with Intent This post demonstrates how you can use Claude's visualization feature to rapidly create code widgets, and how Claude Design can make code snippet interfaces look awesome. The final part of this series will drop in a couple of weeks and shifts focus from Rise to Storyline. We’ll look at the new AI JavaScript coding feature, similar to Rise Code Blocks, but different in many ways. I'll also have a follow up for this final part discussing options for organizing your snippets. Have fun with this series and let me know if you have any questions. StephaniePart 2: Building Rise Code Blocks
➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! Part 2 of the series is up — and this one is about how the code blocks in the Rise Code Block Library get built, and how you can do the same. I've developed a workflow system — the Rise Build System — that uses Claude to take you from idea to finished, tested, Rise-compatible code block without needing to know JavaScript or HTML. The tutorial walks through a real build: a row sorting interaction that came directly from the suggestion box in the code library. The full Rise Build System — master prompt, intake prompt, revision prompt and setup instructions is free for all, but I'm asking for your email in exchange so I can keep you updated on new tutorials. You can subscribe over in the post and if you already have, you'll receive an email with the build system. 👉 Start with Part 1 if you haven't already 👉 Browse the Rise Code Block Library 👉 Enjoy Part 2 I’m working on two tutorials related to Part 2: Rise Build System in Action Available Now This post demonstrates two more examples of working with the Rise Build System, including revising existing code snippets.

StephanieAI‑powered, real‑time role‑play platforms
Hello Heroes! Has anyone cracked this yet? I’m exploring AI‑powered, real‑time role‑play platforms that can be embedded directly into an Articulate Rise Multimedia Embed block and run within the Rise frame—without sending learners outside the course or requiring a separate login. I’ve tested a few options, including Yoodli, but that experience redirects learners out of Rise. Other platforms I’ve reviewed are either cost‑prohibitive or not transparent with pricing. Has anyone successfully integrated a truly seamless, experiential role‑play experience into Rise? I’d love to hear what you’ve tried, what’s come close, or where you hit barriers. Thank you!
