Hello, I am building a process-based course for people working in a laboratory. There are 9 different machines that are in the process the person has to use. I did the initial storyboarding in Microsoft Excel, because the process isn't strictly linear. For example: Turn on Machine A. It takes 30 minutes to warm up. Turn on Machine B. Do process 1 and 2. Turn on Machine C. Do process 1. On Machine B, do process 3. When Machine A beeps, you have 90 seconds to do process 1. So, when I job shadowed the technician, I wrote out the information in the order he does the work. When teaching someone new, he may want to do the entire process, but he may want to run it machine-by-machine, depending on the learner. With Excel, I have a column for the overall step process and another column for the step on a given machine. Filtering makes it easy to toggle between machine specific or full process views. For the moment, I'm building it in Rise with each machine as its own lesson. Long term, I think doing this in Storyline and putting some variables on each slide might be a better way to do this. I'm thinking I'd build the process by machine (in each scene). Then I'd rearrange the slides into the process order. The learner could then choose to view as full process or toggle for just one variable to be seen. Is there a better way to do this? What haven't I thought of that could make this easier?Solved28Views0likes2CommentsGrid and Alignment?
I am not sure what I did wrong but when ever I try to align and group shapes, icons or text boxes they don't line up correctly. I want to group a Shape, Icon and Text box together, but when I do it makes the "Group Box" twice the size than the shape? I am not sure what I am doing wrong? I have gone into the "Grid and Guides" pop out and I unchecked everything and I am still having the same issue?15Views0likes1CommentSuggestion: single triggers that can affect multiple objects, layers or variables.
Greetings, I would like to suggest triggers that can affect grouped objects, layers and variables, Storyline 360. GROUPED OBJECTS If you want to hide multiple assets in a group, you must change their states to Hidden for each of them individually. You cannot say "change state of [group 1] to Hidden", despite Hover states reacting normally. A single command that changes states to "all selected objects" would also be welcomed. GROUPED LAYERS Let's say you have a click-to-reveal in a secondary layer, not the base slide, that calls other layers to reveal text boxes. You must have a trigger that closes each layer individually, because you cannot close that main layer nor hide it. I'd love a trigger that goes like "close [all selected layers from this list]" in one single command. GROUPED VARIABLES If your slide requires variables that must be reset on every visit, you have to trigger them to reset individually. OI'd like to see a trigger that "reset all selected variables to their [initial values]", again in one single command. Please note that while you can choose how to display your triggers, you still need one trigger/"thing". Thanks in advance.18Views3likes2CommentsKeeping SCORM package small, best practices?
Are they any documents or guides that already exist for best practices while designing in Rise to ensure you don't end up with a massive SCORM file at the end? If not, can anyone add to this list of recommendations to avoid this issue in the future (for now, without use of an external tool): -Compress any possible video/ image assets and pay attention to file size as you upload -When designing in an external tool (Canva, Adobe CC, Adobe Express, etc.) make sure to watch your file size upon download -Be mindful of use of AI audio generated within Rise, larger file sizes -Be mindful of GIFS, background image file size, etc. Anyone else have anything to add or know of any existing resources for this kind of guidance? Additionally, any documentation from Articulate of how much size interactive blocks, custom blocks, or anything else that might take up additional data and need to be considered for usage would be very helpful. As the eLearning community drives toward more innovation, creativity, and interaction focused around a better end user experience, I am finding it difficult to navigate the balance of this with functionality without fully knowing the sandbox we have to play in (Rise current barrier, easier to see in Storyline).6Views0likes0CommentsPeer Pod Coming Soon: “New to Instructional Design” — Who’s Joining Us?
We’re kicking off a brand-new Peer Pod for anyone who’s new to instructional design and you’re invited! 🎉 Peer Pods are 4-week learning groups where community members explore a topic together through weekly prompts, curated resources, and shared discussion.

I have a course with two Slide Masters (Storyline): One blank, used for the splash screen The other with a header for course tiles, page numbers, exit and menu buttons The majority of the slides use the second type. The issue I'm having, upon reopening the course to continue working on it, many of the slides switch over the blank slide master. While it's an easy fix, I have to run through every slide on the course and manually apply the correct layout. Is this a bug? Even more strange, I deleted all but one slide so that I could work on it and test it in isolation. But when I go to view the slide masters, it shows that the master is being used by 50 slides, even though there's only 1 slide in the course.17Views0likes3CommentsRise Scenario Interaction "Try Again" Additional Continue Screen
I'm creating my first scenario interaction with Rise and notice there's an additional screen requiring users to hit continue after choosing try again. So, they click try again, go to another screen that says try again and has a continue button on the bottom. Essentially an additional click per "try again." Is there any way around this? Screenshot attached and here's a link: https://share.articulate.com/f6kVeWFq54F_i4P5W8ToW29Views0likes4CommentsDrop Down activity Manual Result Score not Showing on LMS.
