Print Slide Trigger in Articulate Storyline 360

Today I’m talking about the Print Slide trigger in Articulate Storyline 360. This was a feature add mid-year that I was cheering about. Previously, to create a print slide function, you would need to add a trigger to execute JavaScript to create the functionality. This is no longer needed.

In this screencast, I’m showing you how you can quickly use the Print Slide trigger to create functionality needed to say print a certificate for example. Gone are the days of needing JavaScript for this purpose and convoluted HTML programming for your Storyline outputs!

Screencast: Quick Hit Text-to-Speech in Articulate Storyline 360

In the upcoming screencasts, I’m planning to chat a bit about closed captions and options related to closed captions in Articulate Storyline 360, but wanted a quick and handy example first. In thinking about this example, I thought it might be helpful to share a quick hit tip about creating text-to-speech audio in Articulate Storyline 360 before we jump into the closed captions.

Screencast: Add a Course Thumbnail/Cover Image in Articulate Storyline 360

One of the more recent updates in Articulate Storyline 360 is the ability to add a course thumbnail/cover image. With most browsers no longer allowing autoplay of media, an issue that becomes prevalent when there is media on the first slide of an e-learning course, there has traditionally been just a blank slide with a play button.

With this update, you can now choose a cover image. This will be present on those first slides along with the play button. In this screencast, I show you how to add a course thumbnail/cover image.
