601 TopicsCharacters image & Custom blocks
Hi ! I've been using the custom blocks in my courses, and I really like it. Interactivity would be a huge plus, but from what I gather, it will become available in the future. One thing that I don't understand is why the character bank from Storyline and the "Scenario" block is not available for custom blocks. I love using the "Scenario" block as a mini powerpoint with a character who is explaining points from the course as if they were the teacher. But the thing is that the "Scenario" block has quite a lot of bugs (You have to quit and return to the block to see the updates), and you have a limited amount of words per slide wich can be quite tricky sometimes. It would be great to be able to insert characters from the character bank so that we could make long texts of explaination while keeping the character as an e-teacher. I don't know if it's planned but it's a feature that I'd like to see for the custom blocks ! Thank you !12Views0likes0CommentsBuddyBar 2.0 – now with unlimited colors, drag-to-reorder, and template sharing!

Hi All, I conveted a rounded corner rectangle into picture then filled the thumb of the slider by an image. It looked a great idea, however, the thumb is distorted from the right side as seen in the image. It should look as the left side. Any idea of fixing this? Thank you!25Views0likes1CommentSet Focus, I need assistance
I created the attached Story to encourage learners to answer questions related to a 'method' for solving a payments participant-related conundrum. Using 5 data input fields, I can capture the learner's input, and I have some JavaScript worked out to validate the input matches one of the acceptable answers. Because there are no object states for data input fields and I did not want the learner to go back a question and change their answer, I used triggers to reveal each of the 5 questions in turn and freeze the answer for previously asked/answered questions. Problem is I cannot get the focus set programmatically. All suggestions are welcome.36Views0likes2CommentsLearner navigation is stopped, next button doesn't work until resetting course
I'm working on a course of 10 modules for a client, and due to some very strict restrictions from them, I created the triggers shown in the image on the default Storyline Next buttons. I export the modules as SCORM files to place in their Canvas LMS. The Storyline files are split up into scenes, each of which I upload as an individual SCORM file. We have found that, in each of the modules, at random times, with 0 ability to replicate or expect, and generally at least once every 100 or so slides, the next button does not move the user to the next slide. It can be clicked, but it won't advance the slide. Here are some facts to help illustrate the situation further: 1. I have a Jump to Next Slide trigger on every question slide with two conditions to meet before the next button works: Get the question correct OR attempt it 2 times. Each question has 2 possible attempts allowed. There are around 110 slides on each module, and 80% of the slides are question slides. 2. I have set the navigation to restricted, but with the "restrict next/back buttons" toggle turned off. 3. This issue only occurs on slides with the triggers shown in point 1. 4. I am yet to have this issue occur on the same slide in my testing. But it has happened on a wide number of question slides, no matter the variety. 5. It happens in preview mode, review 360, and in the Canvas SCORM player. More often than not, the issue occurs while the module is in Canvas, but I have had it happen outside that environment. 6. The client asked that, even if they get the question wrong, that they continue through the learning. 7. Once they learner encounters this bug, they have to restart progress in the course to get through. Refreshing the page doesn't solve the issue. I've attached the entire .story file that is a common culprit, and I've also linked to the first scene of it in SCORM cloud for testing. I can attach a .zipped SCORM version of the first scene as well, in case anyone is interested in testing stuff. Here is step 1 and step 2 in Review 360. I can't guarantee you will find the bug in your testing, but if it does happen, yippee! While I would be happy to learn of why this issue is happening, and how to solve it, I would also be happy to hear of any alternatives to entirely dodge the problem. It would be very difficult to convince the client to accept custom buttons for navigation, so that's a limitation unless it is my only way out of this. Thank you all for the help!27Views0likes4CommentsPlease help! slide layer finishes before activity is completed
Please help. I am working on the attached slide. The intended interaction is... Click the picture watch the video check the boxes for the strategy observed. The check boxes provide immediate feedback (check or x). Issue, when the learner clicks the last correct answer the slide layer immediately closes and returns to the base slide before the learner can see the feedback of the last correct answer. I can not figure out the fix. Please help. I am also attaching the Review 360 link https://360.articulate.com/review/content/d3df2228-6e8f-47dd-ab25-0f25b25a9fe5/review30Views0likes5CommentsAssessment not progressing to final module
Hi, I have developed an assessment that should continue to the final module once you have scored 100%. I have tested it multiple times and the Continue button does not appear even though my Settings look correctly configured (attached). Any advice is appreciated.26Views0likes2CommentsCourse Completion Certificates in Both SL and Rise
I know there has been a ton of discussion historically on this topic as well, is there any new updates on adding completion certificates to Rise and SL courses? Many regulatory bodies and review boards are looking for certificates of completion - and in an effort to avoid a paper process (since our poor LMS does not offer this option) 360. Appreciate any and all input - VickiSolved52Views0likes4CommentsResume State Not Working Correctly in Storyline 360
Hi, I have a test that people only get two attempts to pass, published as SCORM 1.2. If a person fails the first time and then closes the test, I have the property set to Always Resume so the test opens on the results screen where they can click Retry Quiz to take their second attempt. I have this set up like this in many tests. For some reason, the test I'm now trying to finalize, when it opens, it opens to a random feedback screen. I've compared the properties to a test that I know is working correctly, and I don't see what is wrong. I'm testing in SCORM Cloud. When I published as SCORM 2004, it doesn't "remember" the first attempt when I fail and close the test. It opens on the title page instead of the results page, and it doesn't max out at two failed attempts. However, if I fail and then choose the Retry Quiz button (instead of closing), it tracks the first attempt and doesn't let them try again after they fail a second time. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you!Solved36Views0likes6CommentsRise Competency-based Quiz - Early Access Group
Our team is testing a potential new feature in Rise that lets authors choose a lesson learners will automatically skip to when they complete a quiz correctly. We’re especially interested in hearing from those who want to use Rise for competency-based or similar course structures. Volunteer to participate here.113Views2likes4Comments
