Pro tips and hints for Articulate Storyline 2
Storyline 360 is out now! It’s available as a part of the Articulate 360 package—a subscription-based software suite. I’ve actually had a bit of early access to it. *Happy dance* It works!

E-learning that rocks I’ve been busy so haven’t had heaps of time to participate in Dave Anderson’s weekly e-learning challenges lately. However, when I saw the topic for this week, I simply could not resist: E-Learning Röck Band Challenge! The task is “to design an interactive graphic or micro site for your (fictitious) e-learning…
