In this screencast, I’m sharing what I feel is a lesser-known tip about cropping images via the media library instead of simply cropping using Articulate’s picture formatting functionality. This can save you a lot of precious megabytes in your SCORM outputs, which is especially helpful when working with clients who have strict LMS file size requirements.

I’m going to preface this post by saying that I am by absolutely no means an expert in all things JavaScript, which is why I had ChatGPT help me out with the code…and also why I’ve probably butchered the explanation of what the code is telling Storyline to do 😀 But I digress.
In the screencast below, I’m sharing how to create a visual click indicator using JavaScript in Articulate Storyline and how to prevent the indicator placement on the base layer from being displayed on the layers.

Are you someone who likes to really get in there and fine-tune sizing, positioning, all of the things? You’re in luck! Several months ago you may have noticed some circles around the corners of your shapes and other slide objects in Articulate Storyline. Articulate had come out with a new ‘corner radius’ feature that allowed you to really customize and dial-in the corners for most slide objects. In this screencast, I’m giving you a quick overview of this functionality.

Adaptive learning paths powered by interactive scenarios create a personalized learning experience that adjusts based on the learner’s choices. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, this method tailors content to individual needs, skill levels, or behaviours, keeping learners engaged and focused on what matters most to them. By embedding decision points and consequences, interactive scenarios simulate real-life situations, helping learners build confidence and apply knowledge in context. The result? Smarter learning journeys that feel relevant, efficient, and impactful.
In this video, I’m walking you through how to build out a simple interactive branching scenario where the branching is based on learner selections at two decision points. You can apply this approach to very simply or incredibly complex scenarios.

Customizing learner feedback based on role selection is a powerful way to increase relevance, engagement, and retention. Learners receiving feedback tailored to their specific role can help make the learning experience more meaningful and relevant to them by connecting the content to their day-to-day responsibilities. This approach acknowledges a single audience’s diverse backgrounds, in turn creating a more personalized and inclusive learning experience.
In this video, I’m showing you how you can easily customize learner feedback on assessment questions based on their initial role selection.

In this video, I’m showing you how you can allow learners to test out of content within an Articulate Storyline 360 course. I’ll preface this by saying that when creating test-out assessment items, you will want to ensure the assessment items are well-written and allow the learners to demonstrate mastery of the content for which they may be testing out of taking.
This strategy can be employed at the course level (e.g., testing out of a full course) or the module/topic level (testing out of a smaller chunk of content) and can be beneficial when there are concerns about length of time spent taking training or maintaining multiple versions of courses (e.g., one for existing employees and one for new hires). These are just a couple of use cases.
The programmatic setup is super simple – you’ll mainly be working with a test out intro slide, a draw from question bank, and a result slide. Passing the assessment funnels the learner to the end course slide whereas failing the assessment funnels the learner to the start of the content slides.
