Screencast: Crop Existing Characters in Articulate Storyline into a Shape

I’m working on a project right now that requires a talking head to pose questions throughout the course, so in my design, I wanted to have the character’s head appear in a circular shape. Most people do this by creating a circular shape and then formatting the shape to have a picture fill, which often times skews the perspective of the image (especially when using a circle as the shape).

This tutorial shows you just how easily you can create this effect, without skewing the image, in Articulate Storyline, using existing characters.

Screencast Monday: Using States in Articulate Storyline to Control Navigation

Hey there – it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a Screencast Monday, so I figured what better way of doing a screencast, but to show you a very functional navigation control effect in Articulate Storyline.

I’m currently working on a project that requires the navigation to be locked down on interactive screens until all slide objects have been interacted with, and the easiest way of doing this for me is by using the states feature in Storyline. There are a few different ways you can do this, so don’t feel forced into using states; this is just my preferred method.

Screencast Monday: Using Variables to Personalize Courses in Storyline

This week, I’m showing you just how easily you can personalize courses in Articulate Storyline by using the data entry field and variables. It’s a quick screencast, but it can help take the learning experience of your courses to the next level!

Last week I showed you how to use button sets to select an avatar for your course, and this week I’m showing you how to carry the selected avatar throughout your course developed in Articulate Storyline.

There are different ways of doing this, but in this screencast, I show you how to use variables and states to achieve the desired effect.
