We Hate PCI Training! So I Used Comic Panels to Break Things Up (ELH Challenge #541)
Most employees dread PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) training; it often feels too technical, dry, and overwhelming (my employees’ words). To make our training easier to digest, I focused on two core ideas: Show employees how the standards protect them as consumers. Bring the standards to life through an everyday, relatable scenario. For ELH Challenge #541, Comic Book–Inspired Designs in eLearning, I’m sharing a snippet from our PCI course where I used simple comic panels to follow “Fantasia,” a customer success manager, through a typical workday. This approach supports the second pillar, helping learners see PCI requirements in action. The comic slide templates likely came from the ever-amazing ELH community (since I don’t recall). 😂😉 “Fantasia” is actually Nicole from Storyline’s character library, paired with a native Storyline AI voice as the course’s narrator. I added simple entrance/exit animations to bring the comic panels and story to life. One of our course’s avatars on the final slide is “Sarah,” also from Storyline’s character catalog. I changed her appearance using OpenArt (dot) ai (back when I had a personal account and was experimenting - explaining her striking blue eyes). You can experience the short demo here. I hope it offers a fresh, engaging take on a usually intimidating topic! Blessings, Thomas PS: If you'd like to examine the Storyline slides, see the attachment. ⬇️3 Ways to Let Users Choose their Own Character or Avatar in Storyline
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to let learners select their own character and explore three different ways to show that character across multiple slides. You’ll use variables to store learner choices and apply slide triggers, timeline triggers, and slide masters to display the customized character.#537 - Checkmate project
Hi, For this challenge, I chose chess — a sport of strategy, focus, and continuous learning. I decided to present the Spanish Opening (Ruy Lopez) in a minimalist way: no overload, just the essentials. The goal is simple: highlight the moves, spark curiosity, and show how a few fundamental principles can pave the way to a deeper understanding. I look forward to reading your feedback and discussions. Have fun playing! https://360.articulate.com/review/content/2461b969-1f3b-4dcf-ab78-07113690d8c8/review
