The eLearning Designer's Academy by Tim Slade is the all-in-one community for new instructional designers and eLearning developers. Inside our free community, we help people grow their careers by focusing on the one thing that makes a difference: building actual skills. We do this through our community, hands-on learning experiences, and free resources.
Now that most colleges and universities are 4-5 weeks into the semester (aka peak roommate conflict time), I am sure these courses would help improve RAs’ skills! Awesome work all!!! 🎉
Just landed my first job offer for a corporate Learning & Development role after being burned out from 10 years as a K-12 teacher. Thanks for providing this excellent content - this channel as well as other ID channels on RU-vid were a HUGE help along the way. 6 months ago I did not know what an instructional designer was, and now here I am! If anyone is in a similar boat and has any questions, feel free to reach out and I'm happy to pay it forward :)

Hello, does storyline have something similar to Explain everything that you have a recording button or a pencil to draw with? What happens is I like doing my lessons with a tablet and a pencil and I create my explanations by handwriting or drawing things and I dont know if this tool allows that. On the other hand, thanks for the video, it's so interesting to see an example of what can be done with articulate storyline.
Great video! What would your advice be to someone who did not fall into the career by accident? As someone currently pursuing a degree in ID, what steps would you recommend for right after graduation?
Hey Tim! All your videos are amazing! I keep doing everything you teach side by side in Articulate and it so so helpful! You are awesome...thanks so much!
Having built dozens of trainings, I find that depending on the training build, using a combination of the two works best for me. I rarely follow just ADDIE or SAM exclusively, partly because of how fluid designing a training build has to be. Now, some projects I have no choice but to build them to spec as provided by the client, but even with those projects since I'm able to interject creativity into the design, I find myself having several iterations before reaching the final product especially if I have parts of the design I haven't storyboarded. I like having that flexibility to turn on the creative inspirational part of my brain when working through some of my builds.
I'm learning the "All-New Adobe Captivate" (v. 12.3) and find it very limiting and frustrating. I'm used to being able to design screens the way I want them but with everything being so templatized it seems I can't move or layer assets as I would like.
You can, but I'm not a big fan of importing PowerPoint files directly into Articulate Storyline. Here's why: community.elearningacademy.io/c/knowledge-base/how-to-import-powerpoint-slides-into-articulate-storyline
While you can add audio, it’s not like other tools where you can sync the audio with animations or other effects. It’s simply gives you a simple audio player, where the learner has to click to play the audio.
Nicely done, Tim! Well put together and a great summation of what the community is about. I continue to love the direction the Academy is taking. Bravo!
Great video, thanks Tim! Two years on...do you still recommend envato elements as an asset subscription? I am looking to sign up for one but there are so many options.
Hmmm. Great question. Not necessarily. While I like things to be “on brand,” that doesn’t necessarily mean they all have to look the same. What more important is that the user expects a consistent learning experience. So, it’s more important to be consistent with navigation, etc.
@@elearningacdmy Thank you. We have a team of content developers so we are naturally all a little different. I'm thinking we should all have the same "beginning slide" with the logo and company mission (three words) and then launch the video.
