Part 1: AI Voices in eLearning
➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! A few of you reached out after the Build-a-Thon submission asking how the audio elements were built — so I put together a full teardown video. This is part 1 of a 3-part series I'm doing on AI coding in Rise and Storyline. Part 1 covers how I added AI audio to the flashcards, configured the settings for different purposes, set up the voice agent in Storyline, and what's possible when you go directly into ElevenLabs. Building the Rise code blocks used in this post are covered in Part 2 — that one's about the Rise Code Block Library. 👉 Part 1 - AI Voices in eLearning 👉 Part 2 - Building Rise Code Blocks 👉 Part 2 - Follow Up: Rise Build System in Action 👉 Part 2 - Follow Up: Protoyping with Intent 👉 Part 3 - AI Javascript in Storyline (coming soon) 👉 Browse the Rise Code Block Library Have fun with this series and let me know if you have any questions. StephaniePart 2: Building Rise Code Blocks
➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! Part 2 of the series is up — and this one is about how the code blocks in the Rise Code Block Library get built, and how you can do the same. I've developed a workflow system — the Rise Build System — that uses Claude to take you from idea to finished, tested, Rise-compatible code block without needing to know JavaScript or HTML. The tutorial walks through a real build: a row sorting interaction that came directly from the suggestion box in the code library. The full Rise Build System — master prompt, intake prompt, revision prompt and setup instructions is free for all, but I'm asking for your email in exchange so I can keep you updated on new tutorials. You can subscribe over in the post and if you already have, you'll receive an email with the build system. Start with Part 1 if you haven't already Browse the Rise Code Block Library 👉 Enjoy Part 2: From Idea to Interation Here are two additional tutorials related to Part 2: Rise Build System in Action This post demonstrates two more examples of working with the Rise Build System, including revising existing code snippets. Prototyping with Intent This post demonstrates how you can use Claude's visualization feature to rapidly create code widgets, and how Claude Design can make code snippet interfaces look awesome. The final part of this series will drop in a couple of weeks and shifts focus from Rise to Storyline. We’ll look at the new AI JavaScript coding feature, similar to Rise Code Blocks, but different in many ways. I'll also have a follow up for this final part discussing options for organizing your snippets. Have fun with this series and let me know if you have any questions. StephaniePart 2 Follow Up: Rise Build System in Action
➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! The first follow up from Part 2 of the series is up — and this one demonstrates to examples of using the Rise Build System for a new build and a revision. The first demo walks through building an interactive display cards snippet using the intake and master prompts from the Rise Build System. The second demo shows how to use the Revision Prompt to make 3 changes (that were requested by users of the Rise Code Block Library) to the existing glossary code snippet. The resulting code can be downloaded in the code library.

➡️ View the post and tutorial 👋Hi everyone! The second follow up from Part 2 of the series is up — and this one demonstrates how you can use Claude's visualization feature to prototype code widgets, and how Claude Design can make code snippet interfaces look awesome. The first uses Claude's visualization feature. Ask it to show you how compound interest works and you get an interactive widget with sliders right in the chat window. Stay in the same chat and convert it to a Rise code block using the Intake and Master prompts. The second uses Claude Design. I built a fire triangle simulator — adjust fuel, oxygen, and heat and watch the ignition threshold respond. That prototype fed into the Rise Build System and came out as a fully compliant code block. The resulting code snippets can be downloaded in the Rise Code Block Library.

Hope you all had a great weekend! I recently completed an eLearning work sample and would love some honest feedback from fellow instructional designers and eLearning professionals. As a personal challenge, I took one of Tim Slade’s design challenges and transformed it into a fully interactive eLearning module. I’m especially interested in feedback on the overall design, user experience, content flow, interactions, and any areas that could be improved. Review link: TacoMazing Fire Safety Academy Thank you in advance for taking the time to review it. I truly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or constructive feedback you can share!🔖 What’s in Your Bookmarks Lately?

A Stunning Motion Graphics Template for eLearning
I’ll be honest, Camtasia continues to surprise me. Many people still think of Camtasia as a simple screen-recording tool, but when you start pushing its design and motion capabilities, it becomes much more than that. I recently built the Oblique Camtasia Template, a 24-slide corporate motion graphics template designed for eLearning, webinars, training videos, and polished business presentations. This template uses diagonal layouts, animated image treatments, lower thirds, title plates, infographics, matte effects, ease-in motion, and custom shape-based design — all built to show how far Camtasia can go when used creatively. Yes, tools like Adobe After Effects and Premiere are powerful. But Camtasia can absolutely hold its own for learning design, corporate video, and clean motion-based presentation work. The bigger point is this: don’t limit Camtasia to screen recording. Test it. Push it. Build with it. There is so much creative potential sitting inside the tool.

As globalization increases and technology begins to catch up, the question of what "reasonable" inclusivity and access actually means. For years translations have been given when necessary, and localization only when the resources could be spared. In the 2026 technology landscape things are changing. These high resource tasks are easier than ever, opening up a new world of access. With that in mind… 🗨️Is it still acceptable to launch English-only training for global audiences? Are there drawbacks of making courses available for as many learners as possible? What are the possibilities for language learning that come with defaulting to multilingualism? Aside from increasing accessibility and inclusivity, what other benefits are there to consistently producing multilingual learning content? Let us know your thoughts on the topic. 📍Not convinced that multilingual learning is as easy as it sounds? Try localizing your course now! Log into Articulate to get instant access to Localization.

Hello everyone! I’m looking for suggestions. I’ll be presenting on adult learning to my team, but they already have a strong foundation in the topic. I’d love ideas on how to make the session more engaging and relevant to corporate training. I’ve reviewed several articles (including Google Scholar), but I’m struggling to find fresh angles—such as interesting insights, misconceptions, or lesser-known perspectives. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
