An Agent for creating course intros to use with Articulate
I’ve been testing an AI Agent called StoryTool for creating short intro videos and other visual explainers that could work well alongside Articulate projects. It seems useful for cases like course intros, topic openers, or short illustrated sections where plain text feels a bit dry. This is one example from StoryTool: The Wood Wide Web They’re currently opening free testing on the website at storytool.io. I’m testing it myself and plan to come back with a more honest review next week. If anyone else is curious, feel free to try it too and share what you think.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?Fast AI Moodboards in Visily.ai
In this short tutorial, I walk through how I use Visily.ai to create a polished 12-slide AI moodboard for training and instructional design projects. The workflow is simple: gather your inspo, align with brand assets, write a clear prompt in Grok 4.1, and let Visily.ai generate high-fidelity layouts that guide the entire visual direction of the course. This approach helps you explore concepts quickly and present a strong visual foundation before moving into development.

Hello Articulate Community, I’m reaching out to connect with fellow learning designers, educators, and organizations exploring fresh ways to drive professional development through impactful e-learning. I’m an Instructional Designer based in Dubai, specializing in designing and developing training solutions and digital learning experiences using Articulate tools. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to scale large-scale training programs across the UAE, particularly in the financial sector, including banks and insurance companies. What makes my approach unique is the balance between instructional creativity and scalability. I’ve not only crafted engaging modules but also rolled out end-to-end learning journeys, covering classroom, digital, and blended formats, ensuring they align with compliance standards, industry regulations, and organizational goals. Some areas I’m passionate about include: Designing custom e-learning modules (SCORM-compliant) that seamlessly integrate into existing LMS. Building training frameworks that can scale from a single team to entire institutions. Creating learning content that bridges complex financial concepts with learner-friendly, practical delivery. I’m now exploring freelance opportunities to collaborate with organizations that want to reimagine their learning, scale their programs, and maximize learner engagement. If your organization is looking for instructional design expertise with proven UAE financial sector experience, I’d be happy to connect and discuss how we can work together. Feel free to reach out here or connect directly. Looking forward to learning and collaborating with this inspiring community!Do You Storyboard Before Building in Rise?
When I'm starting a new Rise course, I often sketch out a quick outline first. Other times, I build right in Rise (especially now with AI!) and organize as I go. Lately, I've been wondering how others approach it—especially when it comes to storyboarding or outlining content ahead of time. If you build Rise courses, I'd love to hear: Do you typically create a storyboard or outline before jumping into Rise? 📝 (And if you do, what does it usually look like—simple notes, a spreadsheet, something more detailed?) I'm gathering some insights for an upcoming community project and would love to learn from your processes! 🙌🏼
