Magnifying Movement
E-Learning Heroes has long guided my work creating art-based learning modules that build visual literacy skills and weave the arts across the curriculum. These modules encourage students to look closer and think deeper about works of art. When I first saw morphing in action, I thought it was engaging—but wondered whether it could truly serve instructional value. This magnifying movement may be more metaphor than method, but it’s a start. Try it here This module was inspired by chaotic museum tours with my young family. The hopes of a shared learning experience were quickly dashed the moment my three competitive children spotted the first interactive button. The rest of the visit was a free for all as they ran pell-mell through the galleries, trying to be the first to mash the next button. The light or sound it triggered crowned the victor. My attempts to explain the displays went entirely unheard as the three terrors dashed off to their next conquest. The best I could do was slow them down with “truth bombs”—the more scandalous, the better. “The newspapers said that artist died painting a sunrise, but he was actually killed in a barroom brawl the night before.” “This artist, who was bald, hid a sneaky self-portrait in that painting—maybe two. Can you find him?” “That painting’s basically a group selfie—and the artist is teasing his friend, a notorious playboy, and a lady who made headlines with her own affairs.” Please share this with anyone who shares that same button-mashing curiosity.

Version 1 I saw this nice Polestar ad on my phone that had markers and labels that I thought I'd test with the morph. I I tried a few things: Create a slide with all of my elements. Add triggers to slides (need to change them after duplicating) Since the morph is only a transition between slides and I wanted all of my objects to transitions in and out the ones I wasn't using a made transparent. I think all of these "hidden" objects via transparency may be problematic. :) Attached is the file. Version 1: View demo Version 2 I tried a few novel things in version 1 that may have confused Storyline, so I simplifed the demo in version 2. Version 2: View demo. About Me I love helping people learn to use the Articulate software to meet their needs at work. I especially like to help those new instructional designers who are trying their best to get a handle on things. I regularly contribute to the training team's blog where we assemble all sorts of tips and tricks. Follow it to stay up to date. I post every Wednesday to Articulate's company blogwhere I share more general instructional design tips. I used to write the Rapid E-learning Blog. Still lots of good tips & tricks in there.

Simple interaction where you can click on different managers to learn about them. For the pop out look I decided to go with a selfie of each person and then used a morph transition to the information slide. [I also submitted this for #502] I used use AI to generate the images and background and I used AI Assistant to generate the placeholder text. See the demo here.

View example. I actually started this for last week's interactive comparison challenge but didn't get it finished on time so instead I morphed (see what I did there!) it into this week's morph transition challenge. It's been a useful exercise to try out the new morphing functionality - it can be a little temperamental though. The transition back to the menu slide isn't as smooth as I'd like, and I found it really doesn't like images so I had to trick it by making each object on the menu slide a shape, setting up the transition, then going back and filling the shape with the image I wanted. Hope you enjoy learning about some global Easter traditions with some pretty watercolours from the Storyline AI image generator.
