AI Chatbots in Storyline
Chatbots in Storyline? Meet Sarah. What if your eLearning course could talk back? I built an AI-powered chatbot right inside the D-ID app and then designed inside Articulate Storyline, and named her Sarah. She’s more than a character. She’s a smart, interactive course concierge that answers learner questions using your course’s knowledge base. No more digging through PDFs or endless menus; just ask, and Sarah responds.

This topic has likely been covered somewhere in this discussion board, but I couldn't find any related posts. When a reviewer leaves a comment or required edit, I'm not a fan of the Comment section to the right. For sections with longer content, the reviewer has to take time to explain where the required edit is actually located, because if they don't, the content creator will have to search through the content to look for the item being referenced. To me, it would be much more ideal if the reviewer could interact directly with the content being displayed, and leave their comment/required edit at the point being referenced. In essence I'm referring to a function similar to the Comment function in Microsoft Word, where we can see exactly what is being referenced. Likewise, a Track Changes function would also be ideal. The reviewer could make an edit to the content, and the content creator could then Accept or Reject the proposed change. My reviewers have complained about the above issues on numerous occasions. I believe that having more direct access to the content would greatly improve the reviewer experience. It would also eliminate the need to provide the reviewer with a PDF version of the course to make edits, which I have resorted to in the past. Love this community!

If there’s one question we hear again and again, it’s this: “How can I let learners choose their own character or avatar at the beginning of a course and have it stick with them the whole way through?” The good news is not only can you do it in Storyline 360, it’s actually one of the easiest ways to start working with variables. Three Simple Approaches We’ll cover three different ways to pull this off so you can choose the one that works best for your project. First, there’s the timeline approach, which is probably the one most folks use. Then you’ve got the slide master route, which helps with consistency if you’re working across a lot of slides. And last, there’s the object trigger method, which just might become your new favorite because it saves time and effort when copying your characters to new slides. Option 1: Timeline events Option 2: Using Slide Master Option 3: Object-level triggers This kind of setup is a great way to personalize your course without adding a ton of extra work.

Ever had two characters in a training module that need to talk; but it ends up feeling flat and scripted?

If your AI video opens with a flat scene, most viewers will tune out. That’s why I transform boring talking heads into bold, animated intros that grab attention fast. In this quick tutorial, I show how to turn a PSD layout into a dynamic scene using Camtasia, PowerPoint, or Storyline, without spending hours. Why it matters? AI presenters are everywhere now, but without strong visuals, even great content falls flat. This layout helps you: Save time on design Easily match your brand Hook your viewers in seconds Watch the demo: https://youtu.be/PqWr1p0VjsI?si=FDFTkQ2Y08VsCV0K Download the PSD file below and try it out.Contract Instructional Designer Needed

Hi Team, I have a question about the menu in Rise 360. I’ve created a course with a final quiz, and I’d like to hide the side menu when learners enter the final quiz. The goal is to prevent learners from navigating back to the lessons while they’re completing the quiz. Additionally, I would like to add a "Retake Course" button on the result page. Is it possible to implement these changes for the final quiz? Thank you in advance!
