Storyline Demo

One of my favourite ways of uploading and sharing projects for Subject Matter Expert (SME) review is to use Articulate Tempshare. Once again, the lovely folks over at Articulate have come up with a fantastic (and generous) solution to temporarily storing our Articulate outputs, and it has come in handy for me on more than one occasion.

What is Tempshare? Articulate Tempshare is a temporary store for your Articulate project outputs; it allows you to upload web-based project outputs and stores them for 10-days, providing you with a link to view your project. It is SO HELPFUL!

Another great use for Tempshare would be to share files with other developers (or Articulate) for troubleshooting purposes.

This week’s Screencast Monday is a throwback from last year. It illustrates one way – some may say an unconventional way, but one that is still functional – of creating custom feedback layers in Articulate Storyline. This approach does not involve using Feedback Masters, and may be effective in situations where you want to use multiple styles for multiple questions without having to create multiple feedback masters.

This week I wanted to show you how easily you can create an automatic scrolling effect in Articulate Storyline 2. Hopefully you can find some good uses for this effect in your e-learning projects and add a bit of flare to your Storyline interactions!

I know I’m going to regret doing this, but I’ve added a new weekly feature to the site: Screencast Monday. I’ll regret doing this only because I am in a constant state of feeling like there are never enough hours in the day…but my hope is that it will be a very helpful feature for all of your lovely folks!  Sharing is caring!

Inspired by the E-Learning Heroes Community screencast challenges, where I’ll be cross-posting videos, when relevance allows. The first instalment of Screencast Monday has been cross-posted to the E-Learning Heroes Community post Share Your Tips for Getting Started with Storyline’s Variables.

Using Variables to Add Values in Storyline

I write about this and many other neat Storyline concepts in my new book, being published in the next couple of months, Mastering Articulate Storyline, so if I peak your interest, stay tuned and grab the book when it comes out!

This week, I’m showing you just how easy it is to perform basic calculations using the Number variable in Articulate Storyline. This is a great function to use when it comes to mathematical quizzes, or scenario-based learning.

Check out the video below to find out how you too can add values using number variables, and let me know in the comments whether you’re excited about this new weekly feature and whether you want me to continue it!
