Veronica B’s playtime
After the elearning heroes challenges took a well-deserved week off, we are back with challenge 285: Animated button effects! A few years back, I started something for a similar challenge 89. But alas, I didn’t finish it and it sat in my folder with the sad PENDING label attached to it… until this week!…
Welcome to another week of e-learning goodness! This week has been really great; apart from normal dev work I’ve also been training a group of designers on the ins and outs of Storyline. In doing so, I was demonstrating how to create a hotspot question, and my Windows Explorer opened to my folder for…
In this week’s e-learning heroes challenge, brave e-learning developers all over the world must battle it out to… naw, just kidding. This week we go mobile! Our challenge is to design a navigation menu to use on a mobile phone or tablet. Now, I’ll be the first to admit that completing your e-learning on…
This week, e-learning heroes are asked to come up with a a creative way to let learners know how they performed in a quiz or assessment with a custom results slide.

The most recent E-learning Heroes challenge is all about creating a hand-crafted explainer video. Now ideally this would have all been done manually, like in the example posted where we set up a camera at a very funny angle and move our cut-out pictures around while narrating the story. But, I (also) cheated (or,…
This week’s E-learning Heroes challenge is about creating an interaction using a top view perspective of an office. This seemed like a great opportunity to share where I work. My office As many of you know, I run my own e-learning biz from my comfy home office. It’s spacious and cosy, and I really, really…
Rotoscoping In last week’s E-learning Heroes challenge, the mission was to use a technique called ‘rotoscoping’. Simply put, it involves creating hand-drawn animated graphics. Nick Russell shared a cool example as well as a great tutorial on how to do your own rotoscoping. I actually followed Nick’s tutorial and created a similar sort of…
This week, Dave challenges us to find creative ways to combine text and images. Most of the work I do is pretty corporate-y, so with challenges and demos, I like to cut loose and find topics that are completely different to my normal everyday work. For this challenge, I created two demos. The first…
