For my demo, I explored how confirmation prompts can do more than just validate an action. Throughout the course, learners encounter simple prompts that encourage them to pause and confirm before moving forward—whether it's understanding the course navigation, acknowledging key concepts, or preparing for a quiz. I often use these types of prompts in my eLearning projects, especially for navigation. They help learners feel more in control of their experience while ensuring they don't miss important information. Sometimes, a simple "Are you sure?" can improve engagement and create a smoother learning journey. Demo: https://www.sarkgcreation.com/elc555c/How to Turn a Slider into a Quiz Question

Hi everyone, how are you? I used the "Localization" feature in a course. After making the content available, when selecting a language I can't revert to the original language. What am I doing wrong? Choice of language After this, it is no longer possible to change the language. Thank you in advance.Accessibility - Screen Readers and TTS
Hi, I'm currently completing an apprenticeship in Digital Learning Design, and I'm working through some content on accessibility. Previously, all our storyline courses had text-to-speech added on, but the accessibility features such as alt text and focus orders weren't used. Since I've learnt more about screen readers through my apprenticeship, I've been following correct processes and designs for best practice with screen readers. However, as these read out the text on screen, I'm wondering if the text-to-speech I manually add onto all slides is still required? Part of me thinks it might be too much if both the audio on the course and the screen reader are reading the content out loud, but then we might have learners with dyslexia, for example, who might not require a screen reader but still prefer to have the text read aloud. How does everyone else navigate this? Do you use both or one or the other? Thank you!Football Manager
