Chainsaw Safety
Review 360 I learned a lot with this fun challenge! And I know what I will do differently the next time (like don't cover the dial with videos / images on the layers). I used Articulate's TTS, sound effects, and icons with Gemini's videos and images. Given more time, I would vet the entire project with an SME to ensure technical accuracy. Also, I'd love to know how to make the dial's pointer pivot from the end instead of the middle.Designing Office Exploration Interactions for E-Learning #528
This week’s challenge is to build an interactive office exploration that lets learners click different parts of an office photo or illustration to reveal information. Think of it like a virtual office tour where learners can choose the areas of interest to explore and dig into the details to learn more.Using Interactive Dials in E-Learning #453
Using Dials in E-Learning #453: Challenge | Recap Interactive dials are a great way to simulate real-world objects and tasks in your e-learning courses. Dials are similar to sliders, but where sliders move along a straight path, dials move in an arc or a circular path. Dials also use less space than sliders, so learners can quickly scroll through large amounts of data. The best part? Dials are super easy to use and customize. With just one click, you can easily format pre-made dials or convert any object, graphic, or image into a unique dial. Here are a few ways dials are commonly used in e-learning: Reveal or step through a process Choose avatars or e-learning characters Create draggable menus 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share an example that demonstrates how you're using interactive dials in e-learning. 🧰 Resources Downloads Storyline: Rotating Objects Template Storyline: Dial H For Help Storyline: Stacked Dial to Create a Gauge Storyline: Monarch Metamorphosis Dial Storyline: Dial Infographic User Guide Storyline 360: Working with Dials Storyline 360: Adding Variable References On-Demand Training Using Dials in Storyline 360 Using Dials to Create Menu Navigation in Storyline 360 ✨ Share Your E-Learning Work Comments: Use the comments section below to link your published example and blog post.

Hello! I've been lurking around for years, and this is my first challenge (a bit late, I know). Since I develop Travel Advisor training courses for a storied cruise line, I thought a ship's wheel (well, an old-timey wheel) would be perfect for a dial to page through our ship's signature venues. Animating the dots was a bit of a chore (lots of triggers), but I like the way it turned out. Signature venuesStrong Password Practices - Interactive Dialer E-Learning Course

This challenge gave me the chance to try something a little different. I’ve always enjoyed comics and superheroes, so I built an interaction where learners could select a power and a background using two dials to reveal a matching hero. I put together a quick prototype in Storyline to prove out the idea, then brought the idea into ChatGPT to help me shape the content. I worked through the hero grid, tightened up the descriptions, added flavor text, and refined the overall look and feel. About halfway through, I had the idea to present each hero like a Magic: The Gathering–style card, which gave the whole thing a more collectible feel. From there, it was all about polish: adjusting the instructions, finding the right button label (Unleash the Legend), and even adding some sound effects to give the interaction more punch. This was a fun back-and-forth with ChatGPT — starting simple, then layering on details until it started to feel complete.

For this e-learning challenge, I decided to create a sample that represents something cyclical - and that made me think of the Life Cycle of a Frog. So, that's what I created this sample on. I set the dial up for multiple rotations, enabling users to spin it multiple times. I also used Emphasis Animations on some illustrations to subtly enhance them. Here's a link to the sample - Life Cycle of a Frog Let me know what you all think, thanks!Global calendar: where is autumn now, and where is spring?
Hello everyone! When I saw this week's challenge, I immediately imagined the Earth that can be rotated. And I also remembered that different continents have different seasons at the same time. Find out where it is spring and where it is autumn. Take a look at the example About Me Kate Golomshtok Website Email LinkedInVictorian Alphabet Project
A Most Curious Diversion: The Victorian Alphabet Dial Though I am tardy in submitting this humble creation, I felt compelled to share my vision nonetheless. Ever enchanted by the elegance and refinement of the Victorian aesthetic, I have embarked upon a whimsical endeavour: an interactive alphabet dial. With a gentle spin, the player shall unveil a letter accompanied by a charming illustration and a verse, each rendered in the ornate style of the age. It is my sincere hope that this modest project shall delight and amuse, and perhaps even transport you—if only for a moment—into a bygone era of beauty and imagination. Enchanted AlphabetCoin Operated
Hey you guys! I Never Say Die when it comes to these demos, and following last week's Merge Shapes challenge, I thought it'd be interesting to work with a dial that has holes in it. There are actually two 'coins' in this Goonies-inspired interaction. It's the same image, initially housed in a slider, then formatted as a dial. This creates an 'on rails' drag-and-drop, that is fully accessible from the keyboard. (Because when you change the underlying variable of a slider or dial, this also changes its position without the learner having to touch it.) But it's certainly more fun to interact with the coin using a mouse or on a touchscreen. Give it a try here.
