Embedded Vimeo Videos Freeze When Paused
A colleague alerted me to the following: "...videos are freezing when users pause (to make notes/snapshots, etc.). When they start the video again, they are having to go out, and back into the video, and find their spot again. When they are pausing the video for just a brief moment, this isn't occurring." Has anyone experienced this? If so, were you able to resolve? I'm going to post something similar to Vimeo's site as well as I'm casting a wide net. Thanks in advance.Designing Immersive Phone Conversations in Storyline
Ever have two characters talk in a training module, but it still feels flat; even with speech bubbles, audio, and triggers? This (FREE) Storyline phone conversation template changes that. Whether you're designing for sales, compliance, healthcare, or support, it creates real, layered convos that feel like you're eavesdropping on a call. Animated phone effects Realistic voiceover dialogue Transparent APNG waveforms (way better than GIFs!) Custom triggers for pick-up/end call Clean, modern layout with animated text Watch how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMpUcYJRNnE Preview the demo: https://www.redesignedminds.com/Discuss/story.html Download it free (attached below) If your training includes a conversation, this is how you bring it to life.External training and receiving results automatically
Hello! I guess this is two parts. I am looking for ideas on how to give training to external employees that don't have access to our LMS. I would think I'd need to store the training onto a server and send them a link to do it. The second part is getting the results of the external training. Is there a way to put a button at the end to automatically send quiz results or a screenshot of the results to an email through Rise or Storyline? Thank you in advance!Background Audio Continues to Play
Hey everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me out! I have added a background audio that will continuously play throughout my course, but unfortunately if you pause the course the music continues to play. Is there a work around for this? I tried adding to a trigger but there doesn't seem to be an option. Thanks!How Do You Approach a Needs Analysis?
Before diving into building a course or training, figuring out what people actually need to learn is such a key step—but everyone approaches it a little differently. I'd love to hear from you! 💬 👉🏼 What does your needs analysis process look like? 👉🏼 Do you follow a standard method or use any go-to resources? 👉🏼 Have any examples you're willing to share? I'm gathering insights for an upcoming community program 🎉 , so real-world examples and tips from this awesome community would be incredibly helpful! 🙌🏼 Can't wait to see how you approach it!Reimagining Navigation Intros with 3D Motion
There’s more than one way to begin an eLearning course; and sometimes, sometimes the best way isn’t with text content, but with atmosphere. I’ve always been inspired by how airline safety videos set the tone before a flight begins. They take a routine moment and turn it into something memorable through motion, storytelling, and design. In this short navigation intro, I demo how to bring that same prelaunch energy into your course. With 3D motion and audio cues, you can instantly draw your learners in, before a single concept is even introduced. Navigation Intro: https://www.redesignedminds.com/Audio/story.html I designed this to spark engagement, proof that learning experience design gets fun when you experiment with 3D, soundscapes, animation, and visual storytelling. Here’s a quick tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62MRlM1iz0MTranslation vs Localization
One question that I see come up a lot when talking about localization is how is translation different from localization? 🤔 We have a couple of really helpful documents that go into this, my coworker KathrynGiroux-c wrote about this recently in this blog post, and then we also have an article that goes into some things to consider when trying to decide if you should translate or fully localize your course. For those of you currently working with translations and/or localization, I’m curious, are you mostly dealing with just translating text or are you fully localizing your courses? And if you're new to this topic, what questions do you have about localization? Please your thoughts in the comments and then join us in our new Localization group for more discussions like this one!Brainstorm Help Needed
I am currently building an Introduction to Recruitment training course in Rise (with Storyline elements). I would like to do an activity of reviewing a job description and then review 2-3 resumes and have the learner determine who the best fit is. I'm struggling with how to structure this in a way that the information is always available as they may need to flip back and forth to compare the job requirements and the resumes. Any creative suggestions? I have thought of doing something in Storyline with the job description and resumes all being layers or lightboxes, but then run into what it looks like once I need to add questions and knowledge checks. Any ideas are welcome!What does engagement mean to you...?
Our chief learning officer is tasking us to make our compliance courses to be more engaging. I find this word to be ambiguous and, as I am not opposed to making the courses engaging, what are some of the things you do to help engage the learner? Some of the things that I am doing is to include what I call "thinking slides". I will ask a question or pose a scenario that has the learner make a choice. If they make the wrong choice, there is a layer or some other feature that informs the learner of what the more positive outcome would be. If they are correct, I try to give them praise for their progress. I also try to use images and videos to break up the constant text heavy information. I will use short bullets with extended explanation with TTS narration. I am actually getting push back because the neural TTS voices aren't good enough and sound artificial. After using and hearing the old TTS voices, I think the neural voices sound pretty good and does an excellent job of conveying information. So, are there other things that you do to engage your learners? I would appreciate hearing your comments! Thanks, Lance.
