Overall, working on my first module in Storyline went smoothly and was a great experience! If you would like to check out the course I created, click right here. The critiques and comments helped make my module better than I ever could have made going solo on the project. I would often bounce ideas off of my coworkers or receive help on concepts I didn’t understand. I also received a great amount of feedback from the main storyboarder for the topic, who helped keep my ideas in check with accounting topics. Most of the design team had given their reviews to better the look of how I presented information. Say we want our box layer to pop up when the user clicks the button, we would make a trigger that says something like “perform action: show box layer, when: button is clicked.” Variables can also be used to specify further when a certain action can occur.įurthermore, throughout the process of creating my module, I received more feedback and was able to coordinate with more of GAAP Dynamics coworkers than I ever had when working in the office. With triggers, we can combine our button with states and box layer ideas together. Being a Computer Science major, I was able to relate triggers to what I learned in some programming languages. Triggers involve conditionals, like “If” action occurs “then” do another action. Triggers may be one of the most powerful tools in the Storyline arsenal because it brings user interaction to life. Also, we can use layers to hide information by overlaying some object over something on a lower layer. With layers, we can create a box on a top layer that displays more information that wasn’t on the base (bottom-most layer). These became very useful when I wanted to provide more information. Layers can be described as slides being overlaid on top of a single slide. This is similar to when a blue hyperlink changes to purple after being clicked on a webpage, representing the user has been to the link. In action, this button will remain an orange color until the user has clicked the button, which changes the state of the button to “visited”. For example, let’s take this button and make its “normal” state an orange color, while we’ll give its “visited” state a grayed-out-look. With states, the creator can give a certain object, like a button, several different forms, and attributes. Unlike PowerPoint, Storyline allows for user interaction through its system of states, layers, and triggers. It’s quite simple to just bring in a list of questions from Excel or pop in a couple of slides from PowerPoint.

Articulate Storyline 360 also makes it easy to import from other Articulate software and Microsoft Office products.
The time at which objects appear and disappear on the slide can be adjusted in Storyline’s timeline, like in a modern-day video editor. Entrance and exit animations can be applied to images, shapes, and text on slides. Slide Master, allowing for consistency in slide design, also appears in Storyline, which may be familiar to many who have used PowerPoint. Like PowerPoint, Storyline uses slides to relay information with the ability to apply transitions between slides. Instead, it’s similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the span of the project, I often found myself discovering new features of the software and wanting to return to earlier slides I worked on and revise their initial design.Īrticulate Storyline 360 is vastly different from the other programs I have used while working at GAAP Dynamics, such as Vyond and VideoScribe. Along my journey of creating my module, I received help from several of my skilled-coworkers, as well as attended a week-long course detailing the expanse of Storyline’s features. This time around, I was using Articulate Storyline 360 to build an eLearning module based around the accounting principle of inventory.īeing able to navigate Storyline’s features was yet another wild skill to tame when working at the office. In the past, I’ve created videos with animations and drawings as stand-alone projects using platforms like Vyond (previously called GoAnimate) and VideoScribe. After spending my last couple of summers working as a digital learning intern for GAAP Dynamics, I just experienced my first time programming a full-fledged eLearning course.
