Boy, it’s good to be back in the swing of things, and looking forward to a year of more fun, e-learning challenges! I love the theme for the second challenge of 2022: cut out and masking effects with animation! PowerPoint is so great for masking; add a pinch of Storyline animation and layers and…
Hurray for 2021! We made it, and to kick things off, I made a little something for the last challenge of 2020: 2021 Pantone Colour of the Year… or colourS I should say as this year we see a grey (Ultimate Grey) and a yellow (Illuminating) make the cut. I have been feeling a…
This week’s e-learning heroes challenge is about converting static content into interactive content. Storyline has a great feature—convert to freeform—which allows you convert a static slide into any one of 6 types of interactive slide, including drag and drop and others. The challenge for heroes this week is to create 6 interactive versions of…
This week’s e-learning heroes challenge is about using text variables to allow learners to compare their answer to an expert’s. I opened up Storyline 360, and set to work! In this simple game, you’ll be shown 10 famous movie quotes. Your job is to type in the quote, if you know it or as…

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.
