    Alternatives to closed captions in Storyline

    An important part of making your elearning accessible to people with hearing disabilities or non-auditory learning styles is to include accessibility features such as closed captions. However, the little black bar of text at the bottom of your screen might not be what you want for your module. In the past, here are two more options we have used to provide a text-based version of the audio to learners who prefer reading to listening. 1. Elearning accessibility document This is

    Using Articulate Storyline Sliders in eLearning Courses

    While not the most popular tool available in Articulate Storyline 360, one of my favourites is using the slider, when developing an eLearning course. My preferred use of this little widget is using it as way to dynamically deliver information, (usually manifesting as steps or a process flow). To find this tool, look under the Insert tab from the Ribbon > then choose Controls > then select the slider of your preference. With your slider selected you can begin to setup your sli

    Locking Navigation in Storyline

    Often when developing eLearning modules, the developer will be required to lock navigation. This decision is made so that the learner will not be able to skip or miss content. To understand which version is simpler, lets break them down into steps. In my experience with programming, cleaner and simpler code is better as it leaves less room for errors or bugs to arise. Method 1 - Variable method The variable method requires the creation of a True/False variable. It can be name

    User Interface Common Mistakes

    The User Interface or UI is the visual interface that the user interacts with when they take your eLearning or digital training. The UI can be considered to be one of the most important aspects when designing your course, as it is directly linked to the learner experience. A poor UI can result in the learner getting confused or frustrated with your course and as a result won’t learn the content you are trying to teach them. Below are 3 mistakes to avoid when designing the UI

    Designing your digital training and eLearning to be responsive is something that can greatly benefit your organisation and future-proof your training through the use of technology. The idea behind responsive learning is to create training content and eLearning that can be used seamlessly on a variety of devices.

    Educating New Internal and External Clients About Developing eLearning

    Lately we have had a lot of clients who are new to eLearning. For many of us who have been in the training industry for the last 5-10 years, we have been accustomed to most people using eLearning as the predominant method of training and it always comes as a bit of a surprise to us to encounter an organization that has not used eLearning at all (due to various reasons such as not having an internal Learning Management System (LMS) or for other reasons such as employees prefe

    Using New Authoring tools

    As an eLearning developer who does work for a wide variety of clients, you can imagine that I am often forced to use a variety of authoring tools, despite Storyline 360 being the industry standard. While I definitely use Storyline 360 the most authoring tools such as Adobe Captivate and Lectora are a close 2nd and 3rd.

    Reward and Recognition

    There is an ongoing debate amongst parenting ‘experts’ regarding the appropriateness of ‘allowance’ for children. Some believe that allowance, is a fair exchange of dollars for services rendered, by those little kiddies occupying the household (i.e. chores). Others are of the mind that chores are a part of any household and because everyone in the family is part that home, everyone should contribute, without a need to be compensated for it. I’m of a hybrid perspective that an
