Using Variables in E-Learning RECAP #454: Challenge | Recap This week's challenge asked course designers to share examples using text, number, and true/false variables. Jonathan Hill This week's demo uses Number variables to track how many items you select, True/False variables to identify which pairs of items have been selected, and Text variables to describe your selections. Example | Download | Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Phil Mayor This uses all three types of variables. Number variables are used to control all of the animations; there are no GIFs or Javascript animations in this project. Text variables control the room names, and a little javascript does the typewriter effect. Booleans are used to control the objects, levers and other items. Example | Phil Mayor | Website | @philmayor Jodi M. Sansone In this demo, I used a text variable and random number variable to customize your friend's cupcake and message (Chat GPT helped create 40 different messages.) I used a T/F variable to help you select which cupcake to give your friend...with the new emphasis animations as well. Enjoy! Example | Download | Jodi M. Sansone | Website | @jodimsansone Tia Pez This slide uses 360-degree photos to search for safety risks (discussed in previous slides in the full lesson). True/False variables are used for the searchable objects and the help button (how it knows what has and hasn't already been found). Number variables are used to keep score, as well as the timer. Text variables are used also in the timer (timer is not using JavaScript) as well as to create a string URL that pushes your time through on the form for the scoreboard. Example | Tia Pez | Website Julie BIGOT In this project, you have a text variable in the form of a notepad where you can keep notes on the case (l used a lightbox); a Number variable with the slider + an identical number variable for the animation on the street; and a True/false variable that gives you a different ending if you found the right culprit or not. Example | Julie BIGOT | Website Shan G. Stone I have created a basic user customization settings page with a live preview of the selected settings. It uses text variables to store and present the user's name, number variables to determine font size, etc., and a true/false variable to determine if the user's code is valid. Example | Shan G. Stone | Website Julie BIGOT Text variable: the names of the shops. True false variables: to keep track of the cards that were bought and that have to be shown in your backpack. Number variables: to keep track of coins, prices and so on. Random numbers : to display different gifts in every shop. Example | Julie BIGOT | Website Jayashree Ravi Step into the Bomb Defusing Challenge! Navigate through intense defusing scene, decode code, and make quick decisions. Can you save the day before time runs out? Example | Jayashree Ravi | LinkedIn Thaddaeus Smith For this interaction, I used True/False variables to determine if a slot in the list is occupied, text variables to occupy the slots and number variables to number the animals when selected. Example | Download | Thaddaeus Smith | Website Wrenn Corcoran I counted 28 variables used in this interaction. A text variable tracks the type of vessel you choose. Number variables track the amounts of each ingredient you add. True/False variables track the garnishes and ice you add. I also used a number of T/F variables to provide different levels of feedback (in the course, this is the start of a branching scenario). Example | Wrenn Corcoran Chris Hodgson Introducing Daisy, the AI-powered color palette generator built in Articulate Storyline 360. Example | Learn more | Chris Hodgson | Website | @skriss Kari Edmonds I created a quick college savings calculator for someone starting a college fund for their baby. Text variables were used for the baby's name.Number variables were used to calculate the monthly amount to be saved. True/False variables were used to verify whether the monthly amount was enough. If so, the learner gets the "success" message at the end. I used JavaScript to calculate the total amount they would have after 18 years based on the monthly contribution. Example | Kari Edmonds | Website Sabrina Sgoda Use a text variable, count the attempts to find it again and get a message according to your success. Example | Sabrina Sgoda Rema Merrick This project is my first attempt at creating a board game. I used a lot of variables in this project. For example, I used a random number variable for the wild card component. When the user lands on a wild card space, a random number between 1 and 5 is generated and the respective card is presented to the user. Example | Rema Merrick | Website Maren West I used number variables to create the car menu, text variables to show the correct color car throughout the course, true/false variables on the layers inside the lesson, and controls the knowledge nitro panel. Overall, the entire course uses 62 variables. Example | Maren West Ron Katz Here’s a simple interaction using each of the three variables. Example | Ron Katz | Website Tra Nguyen A scenario-based project I've created earlier. I incorporated both text and numerical variables. Text variables were utilized to tailor a personalized learning experience for the learners, whereas numerical variables were employed within the gamification aspect to track learner scores in the progress bar. Example | Learn more | Tra Nguyen | Website Sabine Hitzl This is my first entry in any of the challenges. It's an adapted part of a game-based quiz I created for our EHS Team. Example | Sabine Hitzl Chloe Okura For this week's challenge, I made a rest/meal break calculator for shift workers in California. Text variables were used to capture the learner's name. True/false variables were used to select the AM or PM shift to determine your shift start time. And a number variable was used to make the timer and show how many breaks you get. Example | Chloe Okura | LinkedIn Kate Golomshtok For this challenge, I've chosen to create a math problem using different variables. Your task is to determine whether the inequality is correct or not. Example | Kate Golomshtok | Website Paul Alders For this challenge I want to share a math game that I'm still working on. The final module is not ready yet, but most of the variables are used in this game. Example | Paul Alders | Website | @paulalders Hannah Radant Here is my "Create your Masterpiece" submission for this week. A text variable was used to designate the color being used with the paintbrush. The true/false variable controls the background music. And a random number variable was used to randomize feedback. Example | Hannah Radant | Website New to the E-Learning Challenges? The weekly challenges are ongoing opportunities to learn, share, and build your e-learning portfolios.

Emphasis Animation Examples RECAP #449: Challenge | Recap This week’s challenge asked course designers to show how emphasis animations can be used in e-learning. Jonathan Hill I began experimenting with Articulate's new emphasis animations in last week's Tab Interaction challenge. This week, I've used them in a much 'louder' way to bring this drumming simulation to life. Hopefully, you'll also notice the more subtle use of emphasis animations to highlight your correct/incorrect choices during the 'configuration' test. Example | Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Jodi M. Sansone I was tempted to over-use these new animations. I applied the pulse animation for audio emphasis and to indicate animal sign selection, used shake for swinging lanterns, and created a Lunar New Year palette featuring Pantone Peach Fuzz, complementing traditional reds and golds. Example | Jodi M. Sansone | Website | @jodimsansone Maren West Example | Maren West Example | Maren West Amy DeMarco Inspired by my toddler's fascination with aquatic animals, I crafted an engaging pond scene. I can't wait to see everyone else's projects! Example | Amy DeMarco Stephanie Hanes Sharing three ways to "stop and smell the flowers" while at work! Example | Stephanie Hanes Jayashree Ravi In my project, I've brought the famous Aesop tale of the Hare and the Tortoise to life with captivating animations. Example | Jayashree Ravi Phil Mayor This is a first draft and is a little buggy. It has emphasis animations in addition to other animations to emphasize elements of the game. Example | Phil Mayor | Website | @philmayor Thierry EMMANUEL I use emphasis animations for position crosses (impulse), for correct/incorrect drop zone states (shrinking/expanding), and to animate parts of the mechanism (impulse, shaking, oscillations), plus circular trajectories, plus a dial that moves when its variable changes. Example | Thierry EMMANUEL | Website Hannah Radant This week I included emphasis animations on my button choices, but I also tried using emphasis in my TTS by using the SSML that Articulate has available. Example | Hannah Radant | Website Michael Schleicher I uploaded a job task sequencing template for this challenge. Emphasis animations enhance learner feedback, making it ideal for introducing new content. Example | Michael Schleicher Jonathan Hill I've used motion paths with video before, but these emphasis animations provide more thrilling opportunities to combine video and motion. Example | Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Joanna Kurpiewska Here's a quick and simple interaction that mixes motion paths and emphasis animations. This could work as a mini-menu, original tabs interaction, or a click-to-reveal feature. Example | Joanna Kurpiewska | Website | @elearningjoanna Julie BIGOT A little game of logic. You need to find all the items needed to brew your first potion! Use the clues to find out where each item is located. I used all the emphasis animations: teeter for the steps in the first slide pulse to show the different items (when I give the list) grow and shrink for the items you drag and drop shake when you drop an item in the wrong spot Example | Julie BIGOT | Website Thaddaeus Smith For this challenge, I incorporated grow, shrink and pulse emphasis animations with a dial to create an interaction that allows the user to learn about eight different culinary mushrooms. I'm a big mushroom fan, and even forage for chanterelles in the Pacific Northwest. Example | Download | Thaddaeus Smith | Website Fabienne Werder Inspired by the labeled graphic activity in Rise, I created a similar one in Storyline using shapes, entrance/exit animations, triggers, and timelines, prior to the introduction of emphasis animations in Storyline. I adapted my previous version and created a second version using the grow-and shrink-emphasis animations. Example | Fabienne Werder Madison Bales My sample is a combination of last week's challenge, tab interactions and this week's emphasis animations. I used the emphasis animations to reduce the amount of microcopy on the screen and encourage the learner to read the ingredients of certain foods while learning how to identify processed foods. Example | Madison Bales Ilona Winnemore It was nice to get creative this week, and I made a small onboarding refresher game, “Orange Grove Onboarding.” Example | Ilona Winnemore | Website Mike Enders I decided to put Storyline to the test to see how it could handle oodles of emphasis animation triggers. Throw in some random variables and a timer and you have a project that's good for absolutely nothing, but it sure was fun to build. And Storyline handled it all marvelously! Example | Mike Enders | Website | @endersdesign Laura Hansen Here is a storyline interaction I created about hooking learners. I used the emphasis animations for the hover state to encourage clicks and bring an image to life on the last slide. Example | Laura Hansen Courtney Roberts The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the new "shake" animation was the line from James Bond movies, "shaken, not stirred", so naturally I had to do a James Bond-themed project. I used the new emphasis animation names in some ChatGPT-generated, James Bond-style, advice on job searching and emphasized them accordingly. (The word "stirred" is emphasized with both Teeter and Pulse.) Example | Courtney Roberts Wrenn Corcoran I really focused on three things with this challenge: 1) exploring the emphasis animations, 2) combining the emphasis animations with motion paths to see what effects I could get, and 3) playing with sound. Example | Wrenn Corcoran Amy Swagger I love the addition of emphasis animations. I enjoyed creating this fun, light-hearted Valentine's Day Quiz to learn more about them as well as explore different prompts in ChatGPT that helped provide the text. Example | Amy Swagger Nhlamolo Moja Example | Nhlamolo Moja Kate Golomshtok Example | Kate Golomshtok | Website Ron Katz This is a game, similar to Simon or Dance Dance Revolution. You have 30 seconds to get the highest score. Try using the clicking method or the keypress method to see which is most effective.

Sansone | Website | @jodimsansone Jonathan Hill I think there's definitely a place for some RADICAL CANDOR in our portfolios. Example | Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Leah Heinrich Example | Leah Heinrich Anita Kumar Just like we always consider our target audience when designing our learning solutions, we must consider our target audience when crafting our portfolio. The target audience comprises busy hiring managers. So don't drown them with details of your process. Make it succinct and visually appealing, so they quickly understand your process even if they're skimming through it. Example | Approach | Anita Kumar | Website Samuel Apata Sharing about yourself gives reference points that make you more accessible to others and my self-titled demo reflects that. While it might contain more personal information than I might share with an employer, I'm curious to discover if we have any identities in common. Example | Samuel Apata | Website | @afrostem Yvonne Leklou Update when you are between contracts or want to try something new. I hadn't been going to update my portfolio in quite a while. And when I finally did, I realized I needed to remove some very basic examples and a very long one. Short examples are great because most people looking at them don't have a lot of time. Also, add a brief explanation to each piece highlighting what you want the viewer to know. While it might be obvious to you, it might not be to the viewer. Example | Yvonne Leklou Wendy Mcmillian Example | Wendy Mcmillian Timothy Crowe & Kelly Fischer Example | Download | Kelly Fischer | Timothy Crowe Bonne Nagle Example 1 | Example 2 | Bonne Nagle | Website Aman Vohra Example | Aman Vohra | Website Laura Hansen Focus on results and tell the story, just like you would on a resume! Example | Laura Hansen Tom Haarman Example | Tom Haarman Sarah Scott Don't wait until you're looking for work to update your portfolio samples!
