Description

This course takes the approach of learning Articulate Storyline 3 by developing a course from start to finish.  This way you will learn things as they naturally occur.  The intent is to help you to become an independent developer in Storyline so you can be successful when you create your own course.  As you go through the course, you will learn the following skills: 

  • Navigation in Storyline
  • How slides and scenes work
  • Design choices in presenting information
  • Building interactivity with states, layers, triggers, animations, and the timeline

This course is meant to help by focusing on doing rather than being a passive observer or doing 'test exercises.'  To assist your learning, you will find yourself doing through mini-challenges that are realistic and what you will encounter when developing.  After the mini-challenge is presented a possible solution is shown so you can get additional ideas in how to solve presenting problems.

Who this course is for:
  • Practitioner's of Instructional Design

Starting the Course

Using the text box control, you'll start learning sound Storyline techniques to make the program work well for you.  This reinforces the navigation chapter and gets you doing right away with a mini-challenge.  Learn how to orient text and think differently about design.

Add Text
07:24

Text flow in Storyline can be a bit tricky.  Learn how to add placeholder text and the options to make it flow like a champ.  A cool trick is included so you can add text quickly to see how things will look.

+ – Import from PowerPoint
3 lectures 22:26

As an Instructional Designer there is no doubt you will receive content that was put into PowerPoint.  Instead of re-creating the wheel, why not import it and then make changes?  Some 'gotchas' are covered so you can handle these real-world situations.

Adding Engagement
