Designing training for Mobile App
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some design ideas and would love your input! I’m currently developing training for a new software launching at my company. The software has both a desktop version and a mobile app. I’ve already created simulations for the desktop version and have now been asked to do the same for the mobile app. Has anyone designed training for a mobile app before? I want to ensure it looks good and is effective. I experimented with adjusting the slide size to mimic a phone screen, but I’m concerned it might look odd when viewed on a desktop. Any suggestions or best practices you’ve used? I’d really appreciate your insights! Thanks in advance!Overlapping States
I've been noticing a randomly occurring, but frequent, issue since the newest update. On some objects, the Normal/Original state will overlap with any other state (Hover, Visited, custom states, etc.) So when you hover over a button, the text might change color, or an image might change, but the original text or original image can still be seen underneath. Here is a quick example, a side by side screenshot from a published example: On the Hover state, the icon is changed so that the bars on the chart sit a little higher when hovered over, though you can still see the original icon being used underneath when this happens. Additionally, you can see the stroke thickness looks more intensified as the images are overlapping. If I did this with a lighter text color on the hover state, and made it bold, you could still see bits of the original text peeking out from behind. I've tried testing this with .PNG, .SVG, .GIF, and other transparent files, but it happens with Storyline assets as well. Here's another example using an icon built into Storyline. On Hover, the icon should just rotate 90 degrees, however, when in Preview or Published mode - the icon overlaps, and instead of having horizontal lines, we're left with a waffle/grid. Each example was made using a new Storyline file. What's strange (or stranger) is that I can make a new state, set it to hover, delete all the objects on that new state, copy and paste in place the original assets used, and then swap the icon - and it will still happen. The only workaround I have is to paste in place the base of the button (in this case the white rounded rectangle) two or three times, depending on any shape effects (e.g. drop shadows), which adding a bunch of objects to one state doesn't always yield the smoothest results once published. Additionally, in some circumstances, doing this causes a flicker effect on the hover state where the new button base flashes in before the rest of the other objects do, or the drop shadow will flicker when hovered over. Fixes? Workarounds? Is this a known issue that needs to be patched?How To Embed An ElevenLabs Conversational AI Widget Into SL360 Using JS!
Hi Heroes, It feels like something new and exciting is always around the corner in the world of generative AI technology, and this week ElevenLabs put themselves firmly in the driving seat of the agentic AI revolution with their new Conversational AI toolkit. If you haven't heard of this yet, check out this video which explains it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-EYzZCLF48&ab_channel=ElevenLabs The interactive, animated widget that this toolkit provided is easy to embed anywhere, including directly within an Articulate Storyline 360 project slide! If you're interested in how to get started, I've written a blog post that includes all the steps, including an Execute JavaScript snippet you can use to effortlessly get your agent loaded into your activity: https://discoverelearninguk.com/how-to-set-up-elevenlabs-conversational-ai-widget-in-articulate-storyline-360/ I'm also currently experimenting with the API for the new Conversational toolkit to understand how I can implement it into my eLearning Magic Toolkit plugin for Storyline + WordPress, potentially opening the door for developing real-time voice activated automation all within a Storyline-built eLearning activity! Much more to come very soon. 🚀 --- My name's Chris Hodgson, an eLearning developer and software trainer based in the UK.

Hello! My colleague is creating a quiz in Storyline360 and is encountering an issue. In the screenshots above, you can see what the text box should look like and what it looks like after she leaves the program and comes back in to continue her work. The text box auto-shrinks, and the size cannot be edited. I will list below the things I have tried to fix this. Thank you in advance to any help resolving this matter. 1. Disable Auto-Resize for Text Boxes: Select the Text Box → Right-click → Format Shape Go to Text Box settings Change Text Autofit to Do Not Autofit Manually adjust the size of the text box as needed 2. Lock the Text Box Size Select the Text Box In the Size & Position panel, uncheck Autosize Manually set a fixed width and heightExamples of Fully Accessible Multiple Choice Questions in Storyline
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had an example of a multiple choice question in Storyline that they're confident is fully accessible, in compliance with WCAG Level AA? I know this is a topic of much discussion on the boards, but it would be so so so helpful to be able to reference a fully functional example, if anyone has one anywhere.Changing size of a matching dropdown
Hi everyone, I'm creating matching dropdown questions that have long sentences as answers. Is there a way of changing the size of the dropdown boxes for the text to fit, instead of having to shrink the size of the text? I've been looking at all the settings I could think of, but I can't find anything, anywhere. I really don't want to have to build a custom dropdown because of this minor issue, so I'm hoping I'm just missing a setting or something like that. Any help or advice would be much appreciated!Scoring issue with multiple assessment with Score only viewed questions
I have developed two assessments for two modules and incorporated an additional result slide to display the combined results using the "Score Only Viewed Questions" approach. However, I am encountering a problem with scoring on the LMS. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue: Launch the first module. Answer only one question correctly out of the two and proceed to the result slide. Exit the course from the result slide. The displayed score will show 100, but it should be 50. Relaunch the course and resume it. Once again, exit from the same slide. The score will automatically change to 50. Case #03690965
