CC Text Adjustment in Modern Player
Hi Team, A code snippet to adjust closed caption text in Storyline: var player = GetPlayer(); var style = document.createElement('style'); style.innerHTML = ` .caption-text { max-width: 90vw !important; padding: 10px 20px !important; box-sizing: border-box; white-space: normal !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important; } `; document.head.appendChild(style); This works in the Classic Player. In the Modern Player, if we modify and use, it only works when the screen is adjusted to 100% zoom. Could you please advise if there’s a supported way to adjust CC text styling in the Modern Player that works across all screen sizes, or an updated approach/code for this? Thank you!Balancing Interactivity and Simplicity in E-Learning Design
Hi everyone, As I continue to work on different e-learning projects, one recurring challenge I’ve faced is striking the right balance between interactivity and simplicity. On one hand, learners often stay more engaged when the course includes branching scenarios, interactive quizzes, and simulations. On the other hand, too many features can sometimes overwhelm the learner, slow down performance, or distract from the actual learning objectives. This raises a few questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on: When do you decide that interactivity is essential, and when is it better to keep things simple? How do you test whether learners are truly benefiting from interactive elements, or just enjoying the novelty? Are there any frameworks or best practices you follow to evaluate the right “depth” of interactivity in a course? Do you use data (completion rates, time spent, quiz scores, feedback, etc.) to adjust interactivity levels, and if so, how? Personally, I’ve found that aligning every design choice directly with the learning objectives helps avoid overcomplication. But I’m curious to learn how others here in the Articulate community approach this balance. Looking forward to your insights!Storyline 360 Pros — What’s Your Favorite “Hidden Gem”? 💎
As someone who’s spent a lot of time working with (and on!) Storyline 360, I’ve come to appreciate the power in the little things — those lesser-known features that quietly make our lives easier. Here's one of my personal favorites: 🎧📽️ Cue Points with the “C” Key: I recently spoke with a customer who struggled to time trigger actions to audio and video media on their slides. They would preview the slide, make note of when a trigger should be fired, then return to slide authoring view to add a cue point to the timeline to tie into the trigger event. This would require a lot of manual back-and-forth between authoring and previewing. I often have to do the same thing, and there is an easier way. If you use stage preview (accessible via the "Play" icon" in the lower-left corner of the Timeline panel), Storyline will stay in the slide authoring view and play the timeline of the slide, including any audio or video media that's present. As it plays, you can press the "C" key on your keyboard to have cue points added to the current playback position. It’s a simple way to place cue points in real time, right where they’re needed — perfect for syncing trigger actions to specific moments in your media. cting Storyline 360's UI and using the "C" key to drop cue points on the timeline. Now I’m curious: What’s your favorite under-the-radar Storyline feature? Something small, subtle, maybe even a little obscure — but that you personally couldn’t live without. Drop it in the comments — I’d love to learn what little gems you rely on. 👇
