This is a complete, project-based Articulate Storyline 360 course that takes you from opening the tool for the first time to publishing polished, interactive eLearning to any LMS. Across 10 modules and 80+ lessons, you'll build real slides, real interactions, and real quizzes — the same way you'll build them on the job.
Updated for how Storyline works now — AI included. Storyline's AI Assistant is woven through the entire course, right where you'd actually use it: generating scripts and on-slide text, creating images, timing audio, producing closed captions, and even writing quiz questions. You learn the tool and the modern workflow at the same time.
Here's what you'll build and master:
Slides that look designed, not defaulted — layouts, shapes, layers, and object states that give your courses a professional finish
Media that pulls learners in — characters, Content Library assets, video, audio with cue points, text-to-speech, and captions
Animation that feels intentional — entrance, exit, and emphasis animations, motion paths, and the morph transition
Interactions, not click-next — triggers, tab interactions, drag-and-drops, dials, and sliders
Logic that makes courses smart — variables and conditions that personalize what each learner sees
Quizzes that actually assess — every question type from true/false to freeform drag-and-drop, plus custom results pages
A player that matches your brand — custom buttons, menus, colors, and even a full translation workflow
Publishing done right — Articulate Review, version control, and publishing to SCORM or xAPI/cmi5 so your course tracks in any LMS
Who this course is for: Instructional designers, corporate L&D developers, and teachers moving into eLearning who want to go beyond templates and build courses learners actually want to finish. No Storyline experience required — it's beginner-friendly, but the interaction and variables modules go deep enough that experienced developers sharpen their skills too.
With Jeff as your sensei, you'll go from blank slide to published course — and become a certified Storyline ninja along the way.
