Screencast

Today I’m sharing how I create a tabbed layout. I start with a styled screen so you don’t have to stare at a blank canvas the entire time, and then I go through adding all of the essential elements of a tabbed layout:

• A prompt on the base layer (which I think is essential for almost any interactivity students need to engage in
• The tabs – I used the rectangle shape; you can use buttons if you like – Storyline 1 and 2 has me brainwashed into using the rectangle as a button
• The container for which the content will appear when tabs are selected – again, I used a rectangular shape
• The layers containing the content that will appear, along with a close button.

Once all of these elements were created and content was populated, I went back to the base layer to make the tabs functional. This is as easy as creating a show layer trigger for each of the tabs. Easy peasy!

Today I’m showing you how to add an Exit Course Trigger as a player tab in Articulate Storyline. Check out the screencast below!

Yesterday I showed you how to create a simple toggle switch interaction using states in Articulate Storyline. Today, I’m showing you how to make that toggle switch work for you. The first example uses the selected state and a trigger to show layer when the state is = to selected. The second example uses 1 true/false variable to create an on/off (or in this case play/pause) toggle for audio.

Today’s screencast shows you how to easily create an off/on toggle switch in Articulate Storyline using states. Tomorrow I’ll show you how to employe these toggle switches to control other elements of your slide, so stay tuned!
