Graphic Design Resources
I've been in ID for years now but was never formally trained - just figured it out as I went. Other companies I worked for didn't have the budget for certification and neither did I. I'm confident in my ability to create clear, engaging content. What I'm less confident in is my ability to "make it pretty." I rely heavily on the available formats and templates, which isn't a bad thing, but I want to grow beyond that. How does someone decide on a splash of color here, a swoop there, creative transitions or animations? I'd appreciate any tips, tricks, resources for improving my graphic design skills in course creation, because I feel a bit stuck at the moment.Template Scenario?
I find it hard to understand how to use the Scenario block for relatively more complex scenarios. What do i mean by that? Well... i want a scenario (for example: About person X). When i present X:s dilemma and then put the first questions in, like 3 diffrent cchoises for answers. After that i want the answers to take them at different paths. But i dont understand how to create that in the actual block settings. I have tried to look att all the tutorials you have but still doesent get it how i create the actual content tree. So if anyone has a template for scenario block i would be so thankfull. Ragards JohannaTrainer-Led Materials That Help Facilitate Discussion
Hello! Does anyone have suggestions for how to build materials in a way that will help a trainer encourage questions, discussion, participation with the learners? I do most of the Instructional Design in Rise for my team and there are 3-4 trainers who use the material I create. We often have 1-10 people in a virtual class. We have self-guided courses, and then follow up with discussions, review, and/or practice sessions where the trainer will share their screen and present the Rise 360 program. I have used discussion questions with suggested answers, but it is easy for a trainer to just read what is written rather than start a true discussion. Any suggestions or advice is welcome!Custom branching gradeing with SCORM 1.2
Greetings, I'm building module for which I will be making custom menu with branching. What are my options regarding gradeing. Each branch should have different questions. Module will be published as SCORM 1.2 to customer LMS. How is grading in this case? Can I have grade for single branch so student can later start second branch and have that grade saved too or?Ideas for Quiz to Master Analytics Dashboard & Value Storytelling
We need to develop a quiz or interactive activity to assess Customer Success Managers' (CSMs) proficiency in interpreting data from a new analytics dashboard. This dashboard highlights specific value metrics that our product delivers compared to competitors. The goal is for CSMs to translate these insights into a compelling value narrative to share with customers. For instance, the dashboard might display information such as: "Our feature 'X' has completed this many tasks, saving you 'Y' amount of time and generating 'Z' amount of revenue," while also showing that competitors charge extra for similar capabilities. The dashboard offers numerous data points, and CSMs must be able to prioritize and synthesize these into a coherent value story. Our plan is to present customer scenarios with sample data, then test CSMs using multiple-choice questions. Each question will include a combination of three data points, and CSMs will need to select the correct combination that best supports a value narrative. I am pretty fluent in Rise but know that the activity options are limited. But if Storyline could address this need in a better way I'd be willing to invest the time. Curious if anyone has any ideas or similar projects they've worked on and wouldn't mind sharing.Do you create training for Sales Enablement or Customer Service teams?
