Hello! For several weeks, TomKuhlmann has been sharing loads of great free characters 'that you can use as you wish' in elearning projects. I've been waiting for the right moment to use one in a Challenge. So here's Adam Kenner, guest-starring in my Comic Book-Inspired demo... This is built on one slide, with three zoom regions timed to highlight different sections of the comic book grid. The animation is largely achieved with state changes and some motion paths and emphasis animations here and there. Music from Suno, sound effects generated by Articulate's AI assistant. I adapted 'Adam' and created the barista and agent characters using NanaBanano in Pixlr. Connect to WiFi here: https://bit.ly/elhc541
The Phish That Got Away!
This is my first time participating in a challenge, and I had a lot of fun with this topic. For my entry, I created a phishing example that spiraled into a little comic adventure—complete with a clueless employee, a suspiciously enthusiastic scammer, and a few red flags waving in the background. The concept is very simple, but I had a blast creating this. Tools that I used: Articulate Storyline ChatGPT: Some image creation Pixabay: Sound effects and music View example here.Comic-Style Learning on Time Management

This is the beginning of a course on electrical safety for electricians (if I didn't have to comply with corporate branding requirements). 😭 Electrical Safety I used: Articulate AI art - backgrounds and character. Character - removed background in MS Designer. Sparks - made with Articulate AI art then removed background, added pulse-shrink-grow-pulse animations at different intervals. Giphy.com - used Matrix screen. Gemini AI helped me make the script more anime style and Articulate AI converted the script to audio. I tried making a gif with Snip & Sketch but it didn't want to cooperate 😑Free Illustrations: 30+ Comic Scenario Panels
Here's a pack of over 30 free illustrated comic panels that can be used to create interactive scenarios. Use them as is. Or customize them by cropping the panels you want and combining with the diverse comic panel characters shared here to create your own custom scenario. Add chat bubbles using this free file. I created these while practicing my AI prompting skills. The panels have been cleaned up a bit and all the chat bubbles removed. There may be some artifacts or image weirdness. That's the nature of AI. But you can crop those out or cover them up.

Here's a pack of 85 diverse comic panel characters sitting at a computer. I created these while practicing my AI prompting skills. The characters have been cropped, cleaned up a bit, and upscaled. There may be some artifacts or image weirdness. That's the nature of AI. But you can crop those out or cover them up.

Here's an updated version of the text bubbles shared a few years ago by JoannaKurpiewsk. It's so good I wanted it to get back up to the front of the queue since people often ask how to get text bubbles. These are created in PowerPoint, but can easily be created in Storyline now that it has the merge shapes feature. Here are the text bubbles exported as individual PNG and SVG files.
