Simulating Real-World Activities with Drag-and-Drop Interactions #380
Drag-and-Drop Practice Activities #380: Challenge | Recap Drag-and-drop interactions are a great way to allow learners to practice new tasks or processes—in a realistic way. While drag-and-drop interactions are often used as quizzes with common “Correct/Incorrect” feedback. But there’s so much more you can do with freeform drag-and-drops to encourage learners to practice new skills and interact with your content. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples. Tea Time This example from Kimberly Bourque Valliere is a good example that uses drag-and-drop to demonstrate how to make the perfect cup of tea.

For the Using Button Sets to Create Interactions in E-Learning #505, I created a single-slide interaction using a button set in Storyline 360. The scenario: you’ve been double-booked for two important meetings at the same time (because… of course you have). The learner must choose how to handle the conflict: Reschedule One Attend Both Skip One Each choice triggers a layer with a lighthearted outcome, mixing humor with relatable workplace stress. I used: A sage green button set for a calm, cohesive look An illustrated character for personality and engagement a clean layout to keep the focus on interaction Click to View: Two Meetings One YouCustomize Your Own Quotes
About the Project I wanted to showcase button sets in e-learning by creating an interactive quote customizer. Users can select words to personalize short quotes, creating a motivational poster with 3 quotes that they can print. I used bright speech bubbles and a comic-style design to make the experience fun. How I Built It I created this in Articulate Storyline using button sets and variables to update quotes based on user selections.

In this entry, you'll explore different fingerprint types. It was originally supposed to be created for the Magnify & Zoom ELC but time didn't allow so I adapted the idea to this challenge. I wouldn't have thought of a button set to accomplish this! Surely, I would have had layers and clutter on the back end so loving how much I'm learning from participating in these challenges.
