In this video, I’m sharing one use case for Articulate Storyline’s AI Assistant, specifically the Insert Text feature: Quickly creating course learning objectives.

When you’re working with eLearning translations, it’s important to consider both the translation import and the text label adjustments. This is an extra step to ensure that you’re localizing your courses effectively as importing a translation via File does not automatically translate your player labels.

This is one of the easiest things I can show you how to do in Articulate Storyline 360: Add a zoom region to an image. What is a zoom region? It’s a function that, when enabled, allows a learner to zoom in on an image. Why would you want to leverage this functionality? You may want to use this for images that are super-detailed and which the learner may want a closer look at.

Here’s another helpful tip when working with text boxes. This tip comes into play when you’ve defined a fixed-sized text box (e.g., you’ve drawn the text box in the size you want it to remain). Now it used to be that you could ‘shrink text on overflow’, which is no longer an option and one that I wouldn’t recommend from an accessibility perspective. Why? Because the text could shrink to less than 12pt font size which would no longer be WCAG compliant.

Now, when you’re working with a fixed-sized text box, you can choose between two options: 1) allow a scrollbar, or 2) allow the text to overflow the bounds of the text box…in the latter, you would likely then have to go ahead and add a scrolling panel and it would be a whole, unnecessary to-do. Here’s what I would recommend doing.

This tip goes out to anyone who has been struggling to figure out why their data entry field text isn’t wrapping…it’s just continuing along horizontally. In the November 2023 update of Storyline, Articulate adjusted the verbiage from (I believe) autofit to Multi-line, which may have confused some who were searching for word wrap or text wrap or autofit in hopes of making this adjustment to their data entry field. The good news is that multi-line is selected by default, so this tip is something to consider if you notice the behaviour and want to remedy it.

In this video, I’m sharing some of the random bits that didn’t make it into the previous videos:

• Deleting a playlist
• Using triggers to play/pause/stop playlist media
• Allowing users to toggle background audio on or off.
