Articulate Storyline in recent times has evolved as one of the most sought-after authoring tools. It provides the ease of creating engaging rapid eLearning without any programming knowledge.
Recently, we received a requirement where the client wanted us to create compliance eLearning with Review Feedback option for assessment remediation. This means whenever learners answer a question incorrectly, they should be redirected back to the topic/remediation slide for a quick review before attempting the question again.
In this way, the learners are provided with multiple attempts till they get the right answer. This review feedback approach in eLearning remediates the learners’ misunderstanding and provides a chance to reflect on why they have failed.
Using Storyline’s variables, you can present dynamic content based on your learner’s activity and other defined conditions. Variables can store learner input or quiz results and use the information to present dynamic content based on specific criteria.

Tabs interactions are one of the most common interactions in e-learning. They’re super flexible and come in all shapes, sizes, and designs.
For e-learning designers, tabs make it easy to break down and group related content into smaller, more meaningful sections. Using tabs to reveal each section helps learners remain focused in the moment without jumping out to new slides or scenes.
And for course designers new to e-learning or just getting started with Articulate Storyline 360, tabs interactions are a fantastic way to learn Storyline’s core building blocks: slides, states, layers, and triggers.
There are two types of tabs
Basic Tabs
If you’re just getting started with Storyline, try to focus on the alignment and positioning of slide objects before adding the interactivity with triggers and layers. Work with the shape tools, formatting options, and alignment tools. Don’t worry about making your tabs look good. Instead, focus on Storyline’s workflow of adding states, layers, and triggers.
Advanced Tabs
For those of you with Storyline experience, try working with conditions to make something happen after a specified number of tabs were clicked. Can you reveal a hidden or disabled button after all tabs are visited? Can you make something happen when the timeline of a slide layer reaches a cue point or the end? What can you do with the layer properties options to affect how the tabs interaction functions?

Zoom-in interaction is one of the best customized elearning interactions in Articulate Storyline 360. This type of interaction can be majorly used for learning and training purpose where learner can be immersed with real time interactions so that to retain the knowledge for a longer period. Instead of a simple text and image presentation you can give learner zoom-in interaction option to view the image in detail especially when the learner is viewing the course in mobile.
Interactive screenshots are a great way to orient learners with a big-picture view of an application’s interface, then let them drill down into the details for a particular menu or panel.

Practice Your E-Learning Animation Skills using Rube Goldberg Machines. In Storyline 360 and Storyline 3, you can trigger actions to occur when two objects intersect or collide.
For example, you might show a layer when a character moves along a motion path and intersects with a doorway. Just set your trigger to occur when the object intersects.
What Is A Rube Goldberg Machine?
Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist who drew complicated machines and contraptions built from ordinary objects that completed simple tasks. Want an example? Here’s how you can light a bulb with a Rube Goldberg machine:

In the context of Adobe’s decision – along with major web browsers – not to support Flash player from 31st December 2020, the need for ‘legacy content conversion’ of Flash to HTML 5 has come into play. There are other reasons as well – the growing trend for rapid eLearning content and the current need to play eLearning courses on multiple devices. Moreover, the open-source web technology, HTML5 is recognized to have content design flexibility and course deployment feasibility. Flash to HTML5 conversion enables a course to play device-independent and makes learning happen anytime.
So, once you have taken a decision to convert Flash to HTML5, the next best decision is to select the right authoring tool to go ahead with. One prominent rapid authoring tool to consider for this purpose is – Adobe Captivate. The tool began its humble beginning as a screen recording utility but reached its peak in two decades as one of the best authoring tools in the market today, incorporating all the needed features suitable for rapid Flash eLearning to HTML5 conversion.
Lectora Inspire – one of the powerful rapid eLearning authoring tools is now out with more exciting features. Trivantis has recently released Lectora 17, an upgraded version of Lectora. Lectora 17 – is now at its best to deliver better HTML5 support to create responsive mobile learning that an eLearning developer can ever dream of. The new features of Lectora 17 are here to support all the realms of eLearning, be it custom eLearning, rapid eLearning, mobile learning, gamification, microlearning, Flash to HTML5 conversion and so on.
New Features in Lectora 17 for Custom Rapid Elearning Development
Let’s have a look at what is parallax effect and how does it level up your eLearning courses.
Parallax scrolling effect is a mashup of slides in a serial way using sliders which creates an illusion of 3D effect that increases the learner attention. With the help of slider movement in Articulate Storyline, we can create parallax effect.
Use of sliders will play a major role in creating this effect. Images in the background moves along with the images in the foreground with the movement of the slider. In this blog we are going to have a detailed step by step procedure in creating a parallax effect in Articulate Storyline 360.
Undoubtedly, Adobe Flash was ever-popular and gold-standard of eLearning course creation that was absolutely rich in high level interactivity, engaging animation, graphics, flexibility, diversity, uniformity, etc. Unfortunately, incompatibility issues and Stagnant progress has made Flash a fewest option now-a-days.
As learning methodologies took the digital route, inevitable thanks to the wave of new standard in the world of eLearning i.e., HTML5 which became new favorite among eLearning professionals.
Hypertext Markup language 5 (HTML5) is the highly advanced, latest, robust, and versatile standard of HTML that serves best in designing and developing eLearning courses to meet diversified needs of global audience across array of devices.
HTML5 has made the future of eLearning by structuring and presenting responsive courses, loaded with outstanding interactions, rich media, graphics, and many more.

Here we are with another challenge that was posted in eLearning community that really make to think of it. This was the challenge that we already faced with one of our clients who stands as a top class manufacturers in apparel and footwear industry based in Australia. They are in need of eLearning courses to train their quality analyst department thereby to bring awareness on the manufacturing defects who are in different levels.
The major work that the quality analyst department is to identify the defects in the apparels and the footwear that is manufactured by the organization using different defect codes that are assigned to each defect. Based on the query registered by our clients we have developed the course that consists of different types of defects in the product and the user must identify the defect in the product by comparing the defected shoe with the correct shoe and defected shirt with the correct shirt, etc. Here you can see spotting of differences in the defected shoe with compare to the correctly manufactured shoe.
