Using JavaScript and Articulate Storyline #132
Using JavaScript with Articulate Storyline #132: Challenge | Recap Extend Your E-Learning Development Skills with JavaScript In a recent screencast challenge, we looked at using variables in e-learning. Since most course designers don’t work with variables, it was a good opportunity to learn how variables can be used to create more dynamic and personalized learning experiences. Another way to create dynamic courses is by using JavaScript, which is a scripting language that allows users to interact with web pages. Events like hovering, clicking, and typing can execute JavaScript to trigger an action. In Articulate Storyline, this is all handled for you with built-in triggers. You don’t need to know a thing about JavaScript to build advanced courses. But Storyline is designed to grow with you. If you look down the list of triggers, you’ll find one dedicated to executing JavaScript. Keep in mind that you do not need to learn JavaScript to create highly interactive projects in Storyline. Storyline’s states, triggers, and layers are all you need to create Guru-worthy projects. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share a Storyline example that features JavaScript. You don’t need to build anything complicated or overly technical. Instead, focus on learning how to insert JavaScript and make something happen. JavaScript isn’t the easiest thing to learn. If your project doesn’t work as intended, don’t sweat it. I’ll still feature your work in the recap. Finally, keep in mind that Articulate doesn’t provide support for using JavaScript. If you run into any sticking points this week, please post your questions in the Building Better Courses forums. If the community can help, they will. JavaScript Examples from the Articulate Community The Articulate community has shared some amazing examples, source files, and tutorials that can help you get started. Feel free to use any of the Storyline-JavaScript downloads as the starting point for your project. Zsolt Olah Zsolt Olah comes up with some highly creative ways to include JavaScript with Storyline. He also does a fantastic job of writing about his projects.

Animated Buttons in E-Learning #285: Challenge | Recap Animated button effects are one of the best ways to prompt learners to touch the screen. From animated submit buttons to the despised next button, there are countless designs, styles, and effects to choose from. You can pack a lot of engagement into three basic states: How to Create Animated Button Effects in Storyline 360 By default, animations can’t be added to existing states. To enable animation effects, you first need to add an extra shape to the state you want to animate. If this sounds confusing, don’t worry. I recorded a quick video to show you everything you need to know. View the tutorial on YouTube Animated Button Example and Practice Slide Here’s a simple example to help get you started. I included a practice slide with ready-made shapes that you can use to practice adding different animation styles. View the example | Download the source Using Animated Button Effects with Characters Guess what? You’re not limited to using the animation effect on buttons. The technique works really well when you want to create subtle or soft transitions between object or character states. Here’s a good example of how animated states works with characters in Storyline 360. View the example | Download the source When you check out the source file, you’ll see the timeline example doesn’t use the animated states effect. The animation effects are created by applying entrance and exit animations to multiple characters on the slide. This is a good example of where it’s easier to create and manage everything on the timeline rather than adding the animation to each state. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to show one or more examples of animated button effects. Play with different shapes, styles, and effects to show how you can use buttons creatively in e-learning. Be sure to include the Normal, Hover, and Selected states in your work. Using Storyline for this week’s challenge? Please consider sharing your .story files. Button graphics make popular giveaways and the source files will help a lot of users get up to speed with more advanced button concepts. Not using Storyline? No problem! You can mock up your 3-state buttons designs in PowerPoint or any other tool. I'm mostly interested in seeing your creative button ideas. How are Animated Button Effects Used in E-Learning?

Animated Timers in E-Learning #298: Challenge | Recap Timers are a common element in game-based learning where time constraints play a role in the success or failure of a task. Timers can be used for most decision-making activities that require learners to quickly process information. Animated timers can be used to: Create a sense of urgency, tension, or pressure Simulate real-world tasks that involve time constraints Gamify decision-making activities Create timed skill and drill exercises Timers can be created using a variety of techniques including video clips and basic entrance animations. The best part is that timers can be visually themed to align with your course content. Let's look at a few examples: Card Match Game Try your memory in this card matching game from Richard Hill. First shared in the memory game challenge, this game features an animated timer that puts learners under pressure to complete the puzzle. View and download the timer in action Wait! How’d he do that? The effect was created using Storyline’s wheel entrance animation and a 35-second duration. Using a longer duration, the entrance animation creates the visual countdown effect. Brilliant! One Creative Timer Begets Another Following up in the same memory game challenge, community member Ridvan Saglam used a similar technique for his airplane countdown timer. I really like the way he visually connected the design of his timer to the theme of his game. Ridvan shared a few more visual timers that you can download from this discussion thread. Using Timers to Gamify Existing Slides Here’s an example that Alexander Salas shared for a previous challenge where he took an existing template and gamified it by adding a simple countdown timer. You can download his source file and use that as a starting point for this week's challenge. View and download the timer Using Video Clips as Timers Animated timers can even be created with simple tools like PowerPoint. In this example, Tracy Parish created an animated loading bar effect in PowerPoint. Using a screencasting tool, she recorded the animation as it played back. Learn more and download the source file Because Storyline has a trigger to evaluate when a when a media clip completes, the video’s duration becomes the timer. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example that demonstrates how animated timers can be used in e-learning. NOTE: Your entry can be anything from a rough concept to a polished example. The challenges are open to everyone, regardless of experience or skill level. If you need technical or creative help with your project, please ask in our forums and reference the challenge number you’re working on.

Using Circle Menus in E-Learning #406: Challenge | Recap Circular menus are a great option when you want to provide users with an intuitive and stylish way to present navigation options in a compact format or when screen space is limited. By using a circular layout, designers can present a large number of options in a compact space without cluttering the screen. This makes circle menus an ideal choice for apps (or e-learning courses) with a lot of features or options that need to be easily accessible to users. Let’s explore a few examples. Circle Menu Navigation In this example from Dave LeFevre, learners click the menu button to reveal the circular arrangement of menu options. View the example | Download the source Circle Menu with Masking Effect In this example from Montse, a folder graphic is used as the starting point for the menu options. I like how the folder graphic was layered to mask the animated menu items. View the example | Download the source file Circle Menu In this example, Jackie’s circle menu features menu items nested under the starting button. In addition, I like how the menu features a selected state that remains persistent even after the menu is closed. That’s a nice touch. View the example | Learn more about this project Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to create a circle menu example to show how they can be used in e-learning courses. Your example can be static or animated. In most cases, animated menus will require variables. If you need help or get stuck this week, jump into the forums and let us know.

E-Learning Menus and Navigation #79: Challenge | Recap Intuitive navigation is an important element in e-learning design. Course designers who stick with default player menus usually don’t have to worry about user interface (UI) design since player manages the navigation. One reason rapid e-learning became so popular with instructional designers is because the tools generated the course menu, freeing IDs to design content rather than program course menus. If there’s a downside to prebuilt menus, it’s that they encourage linear, click-and-read courses. Custom navigation menus, like those often used in nonlinear courses, can permit learners to jump around the course as they choose. But moving beyond traditional menu navigation means course designers need to think more like UI designers. To jumpstart this week's challenge, I’ve rounded up some creative navigation examples your fellow community members have shared. Game Navigation Video game consoles, traditional board games, and tablet-inspired menus are excellent ways to seek inspiration. Game Center Template by Tom Washam Tabs Navigation Tabs are the most popular type of menu navigation we see in courses. They’re highly customizable and can be created using a variety of shapes and styles. If you go with a tabs menu, please cross-post in the tabs challenge.

Visual Design Tips for Cover Slides #117: Challenge | Recap Can You Judge an E-Learning Course by Its Background Image? Need a quick way to set the stage for your course content? Try using a custom background image. Background images are the largest object on your slide, making them one of the best ways to establish context while creating a sense of location. This works equally well for content and course cover slides. But not all projects require custom themes or visual treatments. Most e-learning courses are built from existing templates that are modified based on the course content. That’s okay because there’s a background trick for those courses, too! Creating Custom Backgrounds Images Using Transparency In a recent post, Tom Kuhlmann shared a visual design tip that’s commonly used in advertising and high-end product photography. The effect is achieved by using the same image for the focal point and background graphic. The background version is scaled beyond the slide size and transparency is dialed way up to blend the image into the background. Here’s a before-and-after view of the effect: Notice how the faded image fills the background without dominating the slide? This is one of the quickest ways to add richness and depth to your slide backgrounds. And that's what this week's challenge is all about! Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to create a cover screen for an e-learning course, real or fictional, using the transparent echo technique. You can share a static image of a cover slide or add a cover screen to an existing project or challenge entry you created. Resources and Related Challenges Here’s a Visual Design Tip to Make Your Slides Look Great. Learn how to create the transparent echo technique in this post from Tom.

Glassmorphism Design in E-Learning #310: Challenge | Recap It's a new year, and that means new design trends. In a recent challenge, we looked using the 2021 Pantone Color of the Year in e-learning design. If you haven't checked out the examples, stop what you're doing and check them out. The color of the year is a big deal because it will influence design, fashion, home interior, and consumer product trends in the upcoming year. 2021 E-Learning Design Trends This week, we're looking at how course creators can use the frosted glass effect, known as glassmorphism, in their e-learning designs. Glassmorphism is a design concept that’s been around for a while. Variations of the effect have been used in iOS 7 and Mac OS Big Sur. The effect is created by layering gradient or blurred backgrounds and semi-transparent shapes and panels. Here's an example: Courses Dashboard by Rudi Hartono Applying Glassmorphism Effects to E-Learning Templates If you’re looking for a place to start, try working with an existing course or template you’ve already built. This way, your content is already in place, and you’re free to focus on the design elements. Here’s a quick before and after for the Serenity template. To create the blurred background effect, I started in PowerPoint and went to Format Picture > Artistic Effects > Blur. Depending on the image you use, you might need to apply another round of blur to the image. To apply a second blur effect, save your image as a picture. Saving the image flattens the blur effect. Insert the blurred image back into PowerPoint and repeat the process. I think the effect turned out pretty well, but I would still like to play with different layouts and panels before considering this a final design concept. Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example demonstrating how glassmorphism can be used in e-learning. Your example can be interactive or a screenshot. We want to see how this design trend can be used in course design. Resources Here are some good examples of glassmorphism to give you an idea how the design effect is being used in UI design.

Microlearning in Rise 360 #407: Challenge | Recap Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to create a project using Rise 360’s new microlearning feature. What is microlearning and why is it important? As a learning strategy, microlearning focuses on chunking content into small, easy-to-consume bits. For example, a typical course consists of multiple modules with a seat time of 30-60 minutes or longer. On the other hand, a microlearning course would include only a single chapter or topic and have a seat time of five minutes or less. Presenting lessons in smaller, more manageable chunks of information helps learners better understand and retain the material. With Rise 360, you can now create microlearning courses that scroll continuously or step through content at points you define. This is ideal for course designers looking for efficient ways to deliver bite-sized content focused on a single learning objective. Check out the following examples to see how it works. Human Resources Here's a microlearning course designed to help employees make the best benefit choices during open enrollment.
