Screencast Monday: Using Shapes as Buttons in Articulate Storyline

June 27, 2016

This week I’m showing you just how easily you can create buttons (and their associated states) in Articulate Storyline, using any shape (aka not the default buttons).

Check out the screencast demo below to see just how I did this, and don’t forget to check out Sprout E-Learning, where you’ll soon be able to register and take courses through Sprout to pump up your resume with Articulate Storyline and Instructional Design expertise!

Screencast Monday: Using JavaScript to Generate a Certificate in Articulate Storyline

June 13, 2016

Again, my apologies for the screencast hiatus – it was a nutty few weeks, but now I’m back! This time with some fun and exciting JavaScript. PS – Don’t forget to subscribe (below) for updates on Sprout E-Learning’s launch date, where you’ll be able to take online courses related to e-learning!

The HTML code you will need is available for download below the video, and I’ve also included a link to the CertBG image I used.

JavaScript code:

var newWin=window.open(“certificate.html”, “certificate”, “status=0,scrollbars=0,width=600,height=480”);

  • Please note that the HTML code and JS used in this screencast, was originally obtained from the lovely Steve Flowers in the Articulate E-Learning Heroes Community.

Download the Certificate HTML code needed here.

Download the CertBG used in this screencast here.

Screencast Monday: Videonot.es Demo

May 9, 2016

This week I thought I would leave Articulate Storyline alone for a bit and show you an application that I have been rapidly recommending to faculty members for syllabus inclusion as a helpful hint for students, especially in courses that are largely video-based. It is an AMAZING student study tool!

Check out the demo, below, and hopefully you too can find some use for this handy, open-sourced application.

Screencast Monday: Extending Slide Content in Articulate Storyline – Part 3: Scroll Panels

May 2, 2016

Continuing with the theme of extending slide content in Articulate Storyline, this week I’m showing you just how easy it is to extend slide content within a ‘container’ by using a scroll panel. If after this demo you’re interested in learning a bit more about scroll panels, check out the Automatic Scrolling Effect demo!

(Also – Please excuse the sound of my dog gnawing on his toes)

Screencast Monday: Extending Slide Content in Storyline Part 2 – Lightboxes

April 25, 2016

Moving forward with the topic of extending slide content in Articulate Storyline, I wanted to show you two very easy and functional ways that you can use Lightbox Slides to extend display content – this works particularly well with navigation instructions and media carousels (which I’ll discuss on another day).
