A360: ARTICULATE STORYLINE 360 – THE ESSENTIALS

Duration

2 day

Introduction

This two day course will teach you to create projects from scratch, how to work with slides, how to add text, images,

characters, and shapes. There are lessons that will teach you how to add interactivity to your slides via buttons, Triggers, text

entry areas, and hotspots. And you'll learn how to engage your learners with quizzes, and how to publish your eLearning

projects for the widest possible audience.

Preface

During this first section, you’ll receive a quick primer on the fantastic, and ever-expanding, world of eLearning. You’ll be

introduced to some best practices when planning your projects, budgeting suggestions, and you’ll learn about the

development process. Along the way you’ll pick up some awesome design tips from effective slide layouts to fonts to

scripting to storyboarding

This Module, You Will Learn About:

Planning eLearning Projects

Budgeting eLearning Projects

eLearning Development Phases

Module 3: Add Content

Content is truly king. You’ll add such common slide elements as text, images, characters, and captions. You’ll also learn

how to create and format shapes and work with a bulleted list.

In This Module, You Will Learn To:

Create and Format a Text Box

Work with a List

Add an Image to a Slide

Add a Shape to a Slide

Customize a Shape

Insert a Character

Insert a Caption

Add Content from the Content Library

Module 4: Interactivity

You’ll learn how to engage your learner by not only adding buttons, but controlling how a button looks as learners interact

with it. You’ll learn about the power of layers, and give learners a place to type text within your lesson.

In This Module, You Will Learn To:

Add Buttons to Slides

Change Button States

Create Layers

Insert a Text Entry Field

Module 5: Triggers and Hotspots

Triggers are arguably the most powerful Storyline feature and are the key to managing interactivity. Triggers can be

attached to slides or slide objects. They control what happens when a learner interacts with a slide object or enters or

leaves a slide. During this module you’ll put Triggers to the test by adding them to slide buttons. You’ll also work with

Hotspots, areas of a slide that can be made interactive. You’ll learn that you can draw a Hotspot on top of anything and

quickly use Triggers to initiate the interactivity.

In This Module, You Will Learn To:

Delete Default Triggers

Add a Trigger to a Button

Hide Player Buttons

Add Triggers to Layers

Add a Hide Layer Trigger

Add a Slide Trigger

Add a Conditional Trigger

Edit a Trigger

Add a Hotspot and Lightbox Trigger

Module 6: Variables

Variables serve as buckets for data. The data can be used to provide feedback to the learner and/or allow you as the

developer to create conditional scenarios. For instance, you could use a variable to capture a learner’s name. Once the

name has been “stored” by the variable, the name can be displayed over and over again throughout the lesson.

In This Module, You Will Learn To:

Manage a Variable

Reference a Variable

Create a Variable

Manipulate a Variable with a Trigger

Create a True/False Variable

Create a Trigger to Change a True/False Variable

Add a Condition to an Existing Trigger

Play Audio with a Conditional Trigger

Add a Condition to a Button

In This Module, You Will Learn To:

Add Voiceover Audio to a Slide

Change Slide Audio

Edit Slide Audio

Add Silence

Record Voiceover Audio

Control Object Timing

Module 9: Recording and Publishing

You can use Storyline to create the videos of just about anything you can do on your computer. Storyline captures multiple

versions during the recording process including interactive simulations and videos. During this module, you’ll capture a

video and insert it into an existing Storyline project. You’ll also learn how to publish your finished eLearning project for the

widest possible audience.
