The Anti-Snob Coffee Guide
First time creating my own number variable! Woohoo!😁 Thanks to this training Using Number Variables in Storyline, I was able to use a number variable for the coffee calculator. As always, I used Articulate AI and 360 content for videos, art, icons, and TTS. I also used Gemini for a couple of videos. I like these challenges because it gives me a chance to learn new skills, inject some humor🤠, and be creative with visual design. I have to comply with corporate templates and branding guidelines all day, so I enjoy the freedom with these challenges!The best weigh to make an espresso
Hello! I like to mimic real-life machinery, dials, switches, and buttons in eLearning where it's appropriate. Sometimes learning by doing can be very literal. But these features can also impact #accessibility. In this week's coffee-themed demo, I have ensured the drag and drop, slider and dial interactions are also accessible from the keyboard. All of the vectors in this week's demo were 'handmade' in PowerPoint and Storyline using the 'merge shapes' feature. Most of my time was spent making sure the interactions perform as intended when the keyboard is used instead of a mouse. But I'm pretty pleased with the overall effect. What do you think? PLAY HERE

Articulate Challenge #524 – How to Brew the Best Coffee & Espresso Drinks Welcome to the Crossroads Cafe, a whimsical drag-and-drop interaction where learners take on the role of a barista serving enchanted drinks to guests from across fictional universes. ☕ Project Concept In this interactive experience, players are left in charge of a magical coffee shop after the senior barista is called away on urgent business. One by one, guests arrive — each inspired by beloved characters from books, shows, and movies — and place their orders for fan-favorite drinks like Butterbeer, Blue Milk, and Miruvor. 🎮 Gameplay Drag & Drop Mechanics: Learners select ingredients and place them into a mug in the correct order. Hints Available: A recipe card is available for reference if the learner needs help. Serve & Feedback: Once the drink is assembled, the learner presses “Serve” and receives themed feedback from the guest — magical praise or playful critique. Progress Tracking: The game tracks how many drinks were made correctly, with a final summary and stylized feedback. 🎨 Design Style Classic 2D animation inspired by mid-20th century cartoons Watercolor textures with bold outlines Magical UI elements and whimsical decor Custom illustrations for guests and environment 🧙♂️ Senior Barista’s Message “Ah, welcome, apprentice! The guests are lining up, and the steam is rising — it’s time to brew some magic. Drag the correct ingredients into the mug, press ‘Serve’ when ready, and consult the recipe card if you need a hint. Every cup carries a little enchantment — brew wisely!” ⚠️ Disclaimer All visual assets in this project were created using AI tools and custom design.
