Trigger not launching email in LMS player
I developed a course that includes a hotspot. The learner is supposed to click on the hotspot which triggers a "send email to" action. The items work in review 360 but do not in the lms player (vi LMS). Any suggestions on how to get the trigger/hotspot to work?AI in Articulate: Excited or worried?
I’ve been looking at Articulate’s latest AI capabilities, and they are really impressive. But what does this mean for people like me who make a living designing e-learning? We have reached a point where almost anyone can generate a polished-looking course in a very short amount of time – including layouts, interactions, content and images. You no longer need much design experience to produce something that, at first glance, looks highly professional. And that worries me. Of course, creating something that looks like good e-learning is not the same as creating good e-learning. But I’m not sure that this distinction will always be obvious to clients and organisations. If an AI can produce an attractive course in minutes, it becomes much harder to explain why an organisation should invest considerably more time and money in having an e-learning professional design one. And this is where I have mixed feelings about Articulate’s direction. As a designer, I want tools that help me do my job better and remove tedious work. But when the goal increasingly seems to be making professional-looking course creation possible without professional course designers, I can’t help wondering whether Articulate is empowering its professional users – or gradually reducing the perceived value of their expertise. I’d really like to hear from other e-learning and instructional designers: Does Articulate’s new AI feel like a tool that makes you better at your job – or a tool that may eventually make organisations question why they need you at all?My name is Chandler (yes like the guy from friends)
Hi Everyone! I'm Chandler, and I am very new to this world... I actually come from a medical background, but it really was not my passion in life. I had 2 niche degrees, 3 years into a career I didn't enjoy, and no clue where to go next. But hey... turns out skills are transferable! I took the leap in investing in myself and learning new things. I got a job at a new company that I knew literally nothing about but I was willing to put the work in to learn. Turns out it was a great move on my part because I was introduced to Learning & Development. Here, I have really found a passion for training and developing individuals. I recently moved into a role as a facilitator for in-person and virtual trainings, but I have always enjoyed anything that allows me to be creative. I have just been introduced to the creation of e-learning and Articulate by a coworker on my team. I have been enjoying learning the platform and expanding my skill set :)💗How are you designing courses for localization from the beginning?
I've been thinking a lot about localization as a design decision rather than something that happens after a course is built. One thing I've learned from working on global learning projects is that decisions made early, including how text is handled in graphics, how media is structured, how reviews are managed, and how the course is packaged, can make a huge difference once you begin scaling across languages. I'm curious how others approach this. What are you doing during the design and development stage to make localization easier later?New to Instructional Design - Advice Appreciated!
Hello! I am brand-new to the world of instructional design and so excited to have discovered this amazing career path! I would really appreciate some specific advice on how to get started on building the necessary skills, theories, methodologies, etc. that are needed to be successful in this industry. I am looking to educate myself and would love to hear from those that have built their careers from the ground up. What did you do, or what would you do if you were in my position? I look forward to connecting! :)Black Bars on the Left and Right Sides of Published Storyline 360 Course
Hi team, I’m using Articulate Storyline 360. When I preview or publish my course, I get black vertical bars on both the left and right sides of the slide, as shown in the attached screenshot. I have already turned off the Player menu/sidebar, but the black spaces are still there. I want the course content to fill the available browser/player area without these black sidebars. What is causing these black areas, and how can I remove them? Is this related to the Storyline slide size/aspect ratio, Player settings, or responsive scaling? Thanks in advance.Formatting Tables in Storyline
Anyone else have difficulties formatting tables in Storyline these days? I have 3 slides, each with one table apiece and it has taken me 2+ hours to ID these slides because formatting has to be done cell by cell. If I highlight a column and bold, maybe all cells will change to bold. Maybe they won't. Maybe half of them will, maybe one of them will. Same with font size or any formatting. It's inconsistent and I can't seem to find what makes multi-cell formatting work better some days and not others. I am wondering if there is something I am missing in how I format these tables to help me speed up? I am attaching an example where you can see I have 4 cells selected and only 2 of them took the bold formatting, leaving the other 2 cells untouched.In Storyline, how can I prevent the Player Next button from working until all layers are visited?
I am using Storyline. I have a large course with many slides. One slide has four layers in it. I want the player's next button to remain inactive until all of the layers are viewed. Each layer has several icons to be viewed, as well as a close button to go back to the main layer. How can I prevent the player's next button from being active UNTIL each layer has been viewed? I added a Storyline file to help with this solution.Converting Rise 360 content to "slide like" content.
So we're building content in Rise 360, and our instructors are looking for a way to display content so that for each "topic" in a lesson, it just shows that topic, with no "bleed over". (Right now, if you have a continue button, it still shows the old content above, and it may bleed on to the screen. WE've tried importing content into Storyline using web objects and the problem remains. Yes you could theoretically do one lesson per slide, but we've got 100's of slides, and that's a mess. What would really be nice is when you click on the continue button that the prior content disappears. Or is there some other way to create "slide like" content that we've missed. I've attached an example screenshot with the bleed at the top.
