Working it
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…
How we got here I have no idea, but my last post and challenge was the 2021 Pantone colour of the year. I have plans to come back in 2022 with a renewed energy and vigour, after a few weeks off work and everything else, but wanted to finish the year with a challenge…
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 variables—number variables to be exact. For my entry this week I decided to share a demo I created that I use to train people in more advanced Storyline skills. This demo uses all variable types, i.e. T/F, text and number. The number variables are used for four…
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…
This week, the e-learning heroes challenge, 291, is to create a summary or conclusion slide for a course. We don’t need a whole course—just a final slide to support learners in their journey after the course. Things to include could be PDF documents, external links, attachments, and more. I’ve started playing around with animated…
This week’s e-learning heroes challenge, 288, is a personal favourite: create your own challenge! Once in a while Dave Anderson likes to mix things up and give challengers the freedom to choose what they would like to make that week. I have to be honest though; I started working on this game 40 weeks…
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!…
The ADDIE framework—Analyse, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate—is a well-known model used by learning designers to design and develop courses. It’s traditionally known as a ‘waterfall’ model in the sense that once the water falls, you can’t get it back. So, once a stage in ADDIE is complete, no changes are possible once you move…
