Small Details, Big Impact: Microinteractions in Storyline
Microinteractions may be small, but they can transform how learners experience your course. In this session, guest speaker Phil Mayor will share practical ways to add motion, feedback, and polish in Storyline to make your interactions more engaging and intuitive. You’ll leave with simple techniques you can apply right away to bring your eLearning designs to life.Working Smarter Together: How IDs and SMEs Can Co-Create with AI
In this session, guest presenters Megan Torrance and Chris King discuss how learning designers and subject matter experts can partner with AI tools to accelerate drafting, strengthen accuracy, and enhance the overall quality of learning content. They will walk through concrete examples using the three powerful collaboration modes and the W.I.S.E. A.T. A.I. guardrail to show where human expertise is essential and where AI can safely take the lead. You’ll leave with immediately usable techniques for co-editing, quality checks, and shaping SME contributions in an AI-rich workflow.Creating Animations and Interactions in Storyline with Simple CSS and JavaScript (No Coding Required)
Want to give your Storyline projects the look and feel of modern apps, but don’t plan to learn Javascript? In this session, guest presenter Natalia Vostretsova will skip the coding theory and go straight to what you need to know to make your courses move, react, and impress. You’ll get a practical framework and ready-to-use code you can apply right away. By the end, you’ll have a working Storyline template that uses one variable, two triggers, and just a few lines of code to build animations and effects, all without needing to “learn JavaScript.”40 Years of Learning Science, Built into Your Storyline and Rise Courses
Instructional design has decades of research behind it—yet too often our courses overlook it. In this session, guest presenter Daniel Brigham will share how to apply proven principles such as recall practice, relevant feedback, and Mayer’s multimedia guidelines (modality, signaling, and more) directly within Articulate Storyline and Rise. Walk away with concrete techniques to make your e-learning more engaging, memorable, and effective.Beyond Completion: Creating Memorable E-Learning with RATE
Tired of creating courses that check the boxes but don’t change behavior? In this webinar, guest presenter Paul Alders will explore RATE—a practical and inspiring ‘framework’ to design learning that learners actually remember, use, and grow from.JavaScript for the Rest of Us: A Practical Example in Storyline 360 with Drag-and-Drop Cables
Join us for the final installment of this engaging webinar series with special guest, Nathanial Hilliard, where we’ll take a closer look at an actual small project that implements several of the ideas introduced in previous sessions, bringing JavaScript to life in your design. Together, we will discuss how the project came to be, from inspiration to investigation, experimentation, implementation, and finally presentation. Included will be a review of the project file, a walkthrough of the code, how it’s incorporated into the project, and what special consideration the Storyline environment requires to get it all working. Specifically, we’ll be examining an animated cable simulation as part of a drag-and-drop interaction. This project originated from an idea posted to the ELH Challenges by Seb Daubert.Design for Minds: Leveraging Articulate to Create Impactful Learning Experiences
In this session, guest presenter Patience Walton will cover how to create e-learning that truly resonates by applying key graphic design principles within Articulate tools. This session will show you how to use contrast, visual hierarchy, and proximity to design for the primal, emotional, and logical brains, ensuring your courses are not just seen, but understood and remembered.Master Slide Magic: Using Layouts for Dynamic Interactions
In this session, guest presenter Hilla Schlegel will demonstrate how to use Storyline 360 slide masters in a way you might not expect—to support fully functional graded quiz questions while keeping your visual story consistent. Using a simple frog-jumping scenario, Hilla will walk you through how to design the character and background on the slide master and how to use question banks to randomize the questions without losing interactivity. You’ll see how this method keeps your design clean, your story immersive, and your workflow efficient—without any complex triggers.Design for Change – Because You Know It’s Happening Anyway
By now you've figured out that change is not just inevitable; it's constant. Your challenge is that you've got to deliver your projects on time, in budget, with the resources you have, all while the underlying need for the project is changing. In this session, Megan Torrance, Anthony Reisinger, and Lauren Milstid will share strategies to help L&D teams effectively adapt to anticipated changes by leveraging Agile methods & mindsets and the LLAMA® approach (Lot Like Agile Management Approach). Participants will explore practical strategies for seeking out, building for, and bracing for change within their projects. By understanding and applying Agile principles tailored specifically for instructional design, attendees will learn how to maintain flexibility, enhance team collaboration, and maximize customer value. Through real-world examples, this session will provide actionable insights into managing change proactively.
