This week, I revisited one of my past projects — an interactive listening comprehension exercise I created in Storyline. I was amazed by how powerful Storyline is for developing interactive language-learning content, and how quickly you can build it!

Rave Review | House Music Challenge is a short, upbeat interactive video that uses stock footage of dancing furries and house music to deliver fun learning moments. It’s designed to surprise and delight while demonstrating how interactive video can go beyond traditional scenarios — blending humor, music, and curiosity within instructional design. The video pauses at cue points where learners can click on onscreen pop-ups to reveal “Did You Know?” facts about the origins and structure of house music. What This Demonstrates Using stock footage creatively to build interaction Leveraging pop culture and humor for engagement Combining sound design and interactivity navigation This was a chance to break away from typical workplace training scenarios and showcase how interactive video can be both fun and effective. House music provided the rhythm, furries brought the charm, and curiosity did the rest. Because why shouldn’t learning get weird sometimes?

This is an interactive experiment using poll-style questions within a video. It’s designed to describe emotions through colors and characters, using four simple questions. Each question is linked to a color — Red, Yellow, Blue, and Pink — and presents a few emotional choices for you to pick from. You’ll only be able to select one answer per question, and only once per session. Your response is saved anonymously and added to the overall results. At the end, you’ll see how others have answered as well. This isn’t based on any scientific research — it’s just a creative way to reflect on emotions and try out interactive video features. Thank you for being part of it. Feeling PulsePush vs Pull E-Learning
About the Project I previously posted this entry for the Asking vs. Telling: Creating Interactive E-Learning #455 challenge and am now reposting it for this challenge as well, as it perfectly fits the theme. In this example, we’ll explore onboarding at a fictional company, where new employees need to understand the company’s core values. We’ll illustrate how this can be done using Push and Pull methods in an e-learning environment. Push: A simple slide lists the core values. It's clear but lacks engagement, presenting information passively. Pull: A branching video quiz that immerses employees in real-life situations. They make decisions based on the company’s core values, making the experience interactive and helping with retention. By comparing Push (static slide) to Pull (branching scenarios), I demonstrate how interactivity enhances the learning experience, ensuring employees.
