Hi everyone, We’ve created a microlearning in Rise 360 that includes an Interactive Labeled Graphic with two clickable hotspots. During course preview, the mobile view displayed correctly and as expected. However, once the course is exported as a SCORM file and launched in our LMS, the required “Exit Course” button overlaps the labeled graphic navigation controls in mobile view. As a result, when learners open the interaction, their only option to proceed is to exit the course. We’ve attached an image showing the labeled graphic navigation being blocked by the Exit Course button. The grey box in the screenshot is included only to obscure confidential course information. Has anyone encountered this issue before, or is there a known setting or workaround that allows us to keep the required Exit Course button while still using this interactive feature in mobile view? As a temporary workaround, we’ve advised learners not to use their mobile for this course; however, many of our front-line employees prefer mobile learning, so we’re hoping to find a more sustainable solution. Thank you in advance for any guidance or best practices you can share.12Views0likes0CommentsDisabling Background Music
Hi there, Is there a way to allow learners to enable background music after launching a course, rather than having it turned on by default? Currently, background music plays automatically, and learners must manually turn it off each time they launch a SCORM package. Some learners find this inconvenient, especially when accessing the course repeatedly. Ideally, we’d like an option within the player settings that allows learners to turn on background music only if they choose to, after the course has launched. Any guidance on whether this is possible would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards!27Views0likes1CommentText entry boxes - update value without losing focus
What am I asking? By default, a text entry box in Storyline only saves the entered value to a variable when the text entry box loses focus (so when the learner tabs out, clicks away, etc.) I am looking for a way to update the value in real-time instead. Why am I asking? I have a basic system simulation in Storyline. The real system has a text entry box and a 'Save' button. Save is disabled when the text entry box is empty because it's a required field. It enables the moment you type even a single character. I want to replicate that behaviour in Storyline so that the training is as close to the real thing as possible. I have your usual "Set value variableNameHere equal to the typed value when the text entry box loses focus" and "Set state of Save to normal when the variable variableNameHere changes if variableNameHere does not equal blank, else set state of Save to disabled." That works... the moment the text entry box loses focus, not in real-time. That makes it unlike the real system it's trying to simulate. It leads to a far less responsive experience and we have to tell the learner to add a step that they wouldn't have to perform in the real thing. Have I tried anything? I did find one solution that uses JavaScript to constantly toggle the focus of the text entry box. Because the text entry box was losing and regaining focus every second, that was forcibly triggering Storyline's built-in "Set value variableNameHere equal to the typed value when the text entry box loses focus." Sadly, that solution isn't viable as it plays havoc with assistive technologies such as screen readers, voice command tools and keyboard only navigation. Whatever I do needs to remain accessible. In summary I can't be the first or only person to have had this problem. Please share any solutions you've found with me.Solved89Views0likes9Comments🗳️ Build-a-thon voting is officially OPEN!

A colleague of mine has been tasked with developing a display to be used at an exhibition. As part of this, I have been asked to develop a computer based package, based on Storyline 360, that would, as part of the process, allow the user to input their contact details, so that the company involved can then later contact those people who submitted their contact information. What I need to work out is whether there is a way of getting the user's information, once it has been entered into the Storyline slide, exported out to an Excel spreadsheet, or whether there is some other alternative that could be suggested in order to try and collate all the contact information for all the individuals that submit their details. If this requires the use of external coding, so be it, and would be happy for anyone to suggest how this might be achieved. Thanks16Views0likes2CommentsScreen Recording Resolution Issues
Hi, I’m looking for guidance on how to improve the resolution of videos published from Storyline. I frequently record my screen and import the recordings into Storyline as step-by-step slides using View or Try mode. When I preview the course within Storyline, the simulation looks crisp and clear; however, once I publish it as a video or SCORM package, the final output appears blurry. I’ve already experimented with adjusting the recording area and pixel dimensions based on my research, but the published output still looks poor. Any recommendations or best practices would be greatly appreciated.2Views0likes0CommentsCompletion, satisfaction and score in LMS.
Hi. In my course, the user passes the final quizz (the Results slides opens the Approved layer, etc). In this layer there´s a button leading to the closing slide, which has a trigger "When timeline starts, complete course". I´ve tried both Complete/Passed and Incomplete/failed, but ScormCloud reports this. Satisfaction should say Passed, as logic says! What settings do I need? Or which trigger? Other settings in my file are the following (sorry it´s in Spanish): I'm going crazy. There are many settings and options. What´s the combination that gives me the report I need? Is it a Scorm2004 issue? (That´s the standard my client wants). Thanks (this is the least enjoyable part of creating a course. In other aspects, using Storyline is a pleasure)35Views0likes2CommentsHow do Storyline beginners overcomplicate course building?
What do beginners tend to overcomplicate when building courses with Storyline? Storyline is powerful, and new users can feel overwhelmed when they first jump in. They see polished examples on E-Learning Heroes, read “tips and tricks” blog posts, and spelunk the depths of r/InstructionalDesign to learn what Storyline can do. Armed with all that knowledge, it’s easy to start reaching for every bell and whistle, while overlooking the simpler tools that are already right there. Here are some examples I see from time to time: Using complicated show/hide trigger toggles with multiple objects instead of simply creating custom states on a single object. Endlessly nudging object positions on the timeline instead of using cue points or trigger events like “When media completes.” Adding loads of animations without stopping to ask how they actually help the learner understand anything. Sometimes less really is more. Jumping straight into using advanced concepts like variables and custom JavaScript when simpler, built-in options could achieve the same outcome. Most great courses start kind of boring. One slide. One interaction. One clear outcome. Then you layer in complexity only where it earns its keep. If you’re experienced with Storyline, I’m curious: What do you see beginners overcomplicating the most? What’s the one thing you wish someone had told you earlier? And if you’re newer to Storyline, this is a safe space. What feels harder than you think it should? Let’s compare notes.243Views2likes9CommentsLearners Getting Stuck in Articulate Courses (in LearnUpon LMS)
Hi everyone! 👋 For the past 6 months or so, we’ve noticed more and more learners randomly getting stuck in our Rise and Storyline courses, all imported into LearnUpon via xAPI. There seems to be no pattern to it: learners get stuck in different courses, at different progress points. Re-exporting then re-importing the xAPI file doesn’t solve the problem, nor does adjusting settings in either the LMS or Storyline/Rise. We are using very basic formatting in Rise and Storyline so there shouldn’t be any issues there. I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue with increasing frequency lately? We are up to at least 1-2 learners per week getting stuck for no discernible reason. We have to log into the LMS and pass them. We're trying to discern if this is an LMS issue or an Articulate issue. (We’ve also experienced other issues, like elements in a Rise course randomly not appearing until the learner hits “refresh,” but this is a question for another day.) Thanks!

Hi there Does anyone know if there is a way (without using the navigation bar) to allow learners to revisit the course content after attempting the quiz? Scenario is - learner does content and fails quiz and would like to review the content. I've removed the side navigation as we have sections that not everyone has to do so I've used buttons to move to the right section depending on your role rather than the standard continue button. We've found staff think they have to do all the sections to get their result to update as our national content works like this. Two problems : they can't get to the next section which holds a feedback survey they can't go back and review content, all they can do is retake the quiz. Does anyone know of a clever way of inserting a button after the quiz result to be able to review content or move to the next section when they've passed the quiz? I don't really want to put the menu back in as staff will think they need to do it all and waste time doing this. Many thanks for any help.113Views0likes3Comments
