How can you determine the total "run time" of a Storyline file?
My company wants us to indicate the duration for our eLearning courses in out LMS so learners are notified about the amount of time it takes to go through an eLearning course. To help address this need, I wanted to get a total run time for my Storyline files. I wanted to find a way to quickly add up the items listed below (especially items #1 and #2) 1) Total timeline for each slide 2) Total timeline for each question slide 3) total timeline for each layer on #1 and #2 Is there a way to accumulate the items listed above? If not, can code (e.g., javascript) be written to do this? Or is there some easy manual way of doing this without having to go from slide to slide and manually adding up all the timelines?Highlight portions of text as it is read
I have encountered a problem and I hope someone can offer a solution. I have a slide with tabs. When the user selects a tab, it takes them to a portion of text and it is read aloud using text-to-speech. The customer would like a smaller portion of the same text to be highlighted as it is read. Has anyone found a solution? I can add a transparent yellow shape to highlight the area and align it to the voiceover, but I can't figure out a way to get it to move along with the voiceover. Does anyone have a suggestion?Help Needed: Magnifying Glass on 360 Images?
Hello, I am working on a project that requires magnifying a part of the 360 image when students hover over it. Similar to this one: Magnifier1.2, but with a 360 image rather than a flat image. Any ideas/suggestions? Thank you in advance! Tool: Storyline360Reset Questions in Question Bank After Review Button
Hi everyone, Is there a way in Storyline 360 to reset to multiple choice questions on a question slide that is set to automatically decide after the learner has selected the retry quiz button after the review button. I am using a results slide with a retry button and review button. Once the learner reviews the feedback after the review button, and selects the retry button, the quiz questions are locked. How do I reset for multiple attempts? Thanks SandyStoryline: Invalid or Corrupt File
New issue today/yesterday with our team. With Storyline 360 files that have been working great for days or weeks, someone is working away in the file and/or tries to open the file and it all goes bad and we get the following error message: "This project is invalid or corrupt and cannot be opened. It may have been created in an earlier version of Storyline.". The file was NOT created in an earlier version of Storyline. We have only ever used SL 360. Our own tech people are working on their end to see if the problem is in our system but wondering if any of you fine people have any ideas or have experienced the same issue and know the fix? Right now, I have lost at least one file unless I can find a way to get it back, which sets me back days and days of work, plus whatever it takes to get this back up and running and my downtime until this gets fixed b/c I sure won't be using SL again until I know it is working properly. All other file types (pdf, doc, ppt, etc) working great. We all keep our .story files on different drives and different network locations so I tend to think the problem is not with our network - how could multiple network locations go bad all at once for just one file type? I have put in a ticket with the SL folks. I also made sure my Articulate was fully updated, as well as Windows. I'm at a loss. :( I'm attaching the original file and curious to know if anyone else can open it or if the error persists. Thanks for the help!Mystery object in "Invalid Answer" layer's focus order
Hello- I am finding a tiny "mystery object" in the focus order of the built-in Invalid Answer layer. NVDA reads it as "Clickable." I can tab to it, but nothing happens when I select "Enter." However, I can select it with the mouse, then it goes away. Please see screen shot. I have explored the Player's text labels - is it the Notification: Invalid Feedback Title? I cannot delete this text label, and I do not know how to access the actual Invalid Answer layer to investigate the focus order. Any insights would be appreciated!Replay 360 keeps getting automatically uninstalled
When I use the Articulate 360 desktop app (1.39) to install Replay 360, the installation goes away after a few hours. I have to repeatedly install it, over and over. There are times when I have to install it multiple times in the same day because it keeps going away. Has anyone else experienced this?Videos in Storyline 360 Not Saving on Resume State in Docebo
Hi, I am encountering an issue with videos placed in Storyline 360 not saving where the user left off when they close the course. I have troubleshooted by using the navigation Resume Saved State, including changing the player prompt from "Prompt to Resume" to "Always Resume". I also thoroughly searched the web and tried every option I read about. However, I figured my best solution, or at least a hopeful one, is to connect with the E-Learning Heroes. We are currently using Docebo as our LMS and have a large number of courses with videos incorporated. Would anyone have a solution to the videos in Storyline 360 to "save at state" when the user exits the course?How do Storyline beginners overcomplicate course building?
What do beginners tend to overcomplicate when building courses with Storyline? Storyline is powerful, and new users can feel overwhelmed when they first jump in. They see polished examples on E-Learning Heroes, read “tips and tricks” blog posts, and spelunk the depths of r/InstructionalDesign to learn what Storyline can do. Armed with all that knowledge, it’s easy to start reaching for every bell and whistle, while overlooking the simpler tools that are already right there. Here are some examples I see from time to time: Using complicated show/hide trigger toggles with multiple objects instead of simply creating custom states on a single object. Endlessly nudging object positions on the timeline instead of using cue points or trigger events like “When media completes.” Adding loads of animations without stopping to ask how they actually help the learner understand anything. Sometimes less really is more. Jumping straight into using advanced concepts like variables and custom JavaScript when simpler, built-in options could achieve the same outcome. Most great courses start kind of boring. One slide. One interaction. One clear outcome. Then you layer in complexity only where it earns its keep. If you’re experienced with Storyline, I’m curious: What do you see beginners overcomplicating the most? What’s the one thing you wish someone had told you earlier? And if you’re newer to Storyline, this is a safe space. What feels harder than you think it should? Let’s compare notes.Storyline: Course Certificate Template
