Blurred images I remember the not-so-good-‘ol days pre-digital cameras when you had to aim really carefully and make sure no one was moving to get a good photograph without any blur. Those days are well and truly over, with happy snaps being taken 24/7, left, right and centre. Blurred pic? No worries, there’s a…
Create-your-own-challenge I love movies. When I watch a movie at home I inevitably have a sketch pad with me so I can sketch out visual designs and aesthetics I like. I make notes about how I could use a certain effect or shot, or whatever it is, in e-learning. So, when David Anderson set…
Last week’s e-learning heroes challenge was all about zooming images in e-learning. Now, I love desserts. I love to make them, I love to share them, I love to eat them. So, for this challenge I decided I’d create a desserts menu in Storyline. Design I started with a wooden background simulating a tabletop and…
Anthropomorphic characters The latest challenge set by Articulate’s challenger supreme, Dave Anderson, asked participants to use unconventional characters in an e-learning course or sample. Enter: anthropomorphic characters! Say what?! Making something ‘anthropomorphic’ simply means attributing humans characteristics to non-human things, like animals or objects. Now, some of you know that I plant vegies and fruit…

I like these avatars because they look clean and classy, see for yourself: The Idea Realising there had a Pantone…
The Articulate Guru competition is long over, so it’s about time I shared my entry on my blog. Did I win? Nope, I didn’t, but I am still pretty happy with my demo. Nut Factory is a game designed to teach nut identification. I was inspired to create a fun game for my daughter,…
The Challenge Last week’s Dave Anderson’s e-learning challenge was to create a toggle effect. Once could use a button, a slider or any other creative way to achieve this. The idea My first idea was to create a button where the user could choose an avatar to represent them for the rest of the…
The missing piece This is the last part in this series, phew! If you missed the previous 3 parts, you can find links to those at the bottom of this post. Here, I’ll show you how I told Storyline to show the appropriately-dressed teddy based on the learner’s choice. So, if you’re looking for…
Lately I’ve been making a lot of interactions aimed at kids, which is weird because most of my projects are for companies and universities. I guess that’s what having young children does to ya’. So, when Dave Anderson posted the challenge to design an interactive conversation, I decided I would go all grown up……
Sure, I’m a Storyline developing, interaction-blockbuster beast now, but in a previous job I kinda sorta earned a reputation as a grammar bully. I prefer the term word nerd. Whatever label you want to put on it, I love language. And I confess, there was a time when I took slightly too much delight in…
