I've literally had employers passing me up for instructional design roles due to not having experience with Articulate Storyline. Thank you so much for creating this workshop! It is truly PPT with the ability to create non-linear learning experiences and uses a few other cool features. Like you say multiple times in your workshop, if you know how to use PPT, it's very easy to learn Storyline.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad the video was helpful. And yes, while some in our industry will try and claim that learning how to use an eLearning authoring tool, like Storyline, isn’t necessary to be successful in this industry…there’s no denying the fact that you see it listed on almost every ID job description.
I'm a member of Tim's eLearning Designer's Community, and I'm always impressed and thankful for how much great content Tim provides for free. Thank you, Tim!
From one educator to another. This was one of the most informative and functional how to videos I have seen. You covered the essentials. I did not know a thing about Storyline. After watching your video I have learnt what I need, in order to carry out what I need to do in just over an hour. Thank you Tim. Appreciate you brother.
Thanks for watching! I’m so happy you like it…and I appreciate the kind words. I’m adding a bunch of other related content like this to our Knowledge Base. Feel free to check it out here: community.elearningacademy.io/c/knowledge-base/
This tutorial contained all the basics to get started with creating that One First Complete Beginner Project. A must-watch for any beginner. Can't wait to join the community. Thanks!
This tutorial is an excellent introduction to Articulate StoryLine. I love how Tim made it 'easy' and compared features to PowerPoint where applicable. I look forward to using this tool in our eLearning Academy cohort.
Tim! This was so helpful! I start my ID job on Monday, and just wanted to get my feet wet. You answered all my questions about basics like markers, triggers, and inserting questions. I may have missed you talking about flowing from one scene to the next, but I was able to figure that out! While other channels are useful for the ideas and concepts behind ID, I love that your videos are so visual and interactive with teaching to use software.
Dear Tim, thank you so much for a thorough introduction to Articulate Storyline 360, you have have left no stone unturned for anybody who is curious about Articulate Storyline and the majority of it fundamental capabilities, the tutorial covers all the 'important' basics for anybody to get started with creating their first complete beginner project, I am looking forward to subsequent sessions on this subject, keep up the great work🙏🙏🙏
All I wanted to comment is already covered, so simply excellent video! Thanks, Tim, for putting these efforts to train people like us in starting our journey using Articulate storyline!
44:36 "Eat more onions, they're good." *Shrek has joined the chat. Thank you so much for this video by the way. I love how intuitive Storyline is. It really is just like PowerPoint.
Great tutorial! The explanation was so simple to understand. Looking forward to take up more videos from this channel that would help me at my work. Thank you!
Hey Tim! I'm a newbie in the world of ID and your Channel has been of great help! All the videos Ive watched till now have been super helpful! A quick question: Which tool did you use to create the background images you imported into Storyline?
This was so helpful! I wasn't sure which e-learning software to go with yet and this video drew a clear picture of how it works. Thanks for creating these videos. Btw, what microphone (the black one) do you use? It really looks cool but most importantly, the quality of your sound is crisp. I was hoping to use it for my classes. THANKS!
Hi @elearningacdmy; thanks for this great video on basic storyline functionality -- super helpful refresher! Question: is there ever a scenario in which building a button from scratch is better than using a built-in button? I've heard from other designers that using built-in features (buttons, states, etc.) can often result in issues with functionality, especially when the course gets larger. Thoughts?
Nope. The only exception would be from a visual design standpoint. I’ve worked on courses with 1000+ slides and have always used the built-in buttons and states…and this has never been an issue. I’ve heard this brought up before and I’ve never had anyone explain what exact “issues” might pop up from using the native buttons and states…so if you have more specifics, please feel free to share.
This is excellent--I've learned so much by watching. Thank you! One question I have is (and I need to look at your other vids--maybe you've covered it)--what do you think of Adobe Captivate? I'm 90% sure that I'll be buying Articulate. It seems like it would suit my purposes (help me with the teaching I do and possibly transition into being an e-learning or training consultant); still, thought I'd ask about Captivate. This is the most commonly used e-learning software, isn't it? I like how intuitive it looks. After watching, I feel like I could begin using it...now! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching, Lisa! I’m glad you found it helpful. Regarding Captivate…I’m not a huge fan. While Captivate it cheaper than Storyline, many people (including myself) find it very hard and clumsy to learn and use. Articulate Storyline is for sure the more widely used tool in the market…that’s what I’d suggest. I hope that helps! 😊
I love your videos, I am in my career transition to ID and you have been my mentor. I am just wondering how did you do the waves for the template? in Power Point or AI? thank you
Thank you! I so appreciate the kind words! As for the waves, you can create those in PowerPoint. Check out this video to learn how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zm6zua2YET8.html
I want to create a trigger on my slide so that my first layer animates to the right and simultaneosuly second layer floats in from from top when the use presses the next button on first layer. Will someone please help
Hey there! Thanks for posting. I'd have to see more of what you're doing to full understand and provide the best answer. If you can, I'd suggest sharing your project inside our Ask the Community space in our free community here: community.elearningacademy.io/c/advice/
Hi Tim, is there a way for multiple instructional designers to work on one course in parallel? It seems that this is not possible in Articulate, other than by sending the entire course file back and forth. Thanks in advance for your response.
@ingacdmy thanks, that makes Rise the better option for larger projects with multiple authors & collaborators. Luckily, Storyline elements can be integrated into Rise.
Amazing video! Thank you so much! Just wondering how can I avoid my background images to become pixelated when I place them in Articulate? I'm using slide size 16:9 and I'm exporting my designs from Illustrator as PNG in the same size.
I would encourage you to increase the size of the images inside Illustrator first...and then export them with a high-resolution setting. Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I can share a video to show you how I do it.
If you go to the Insert tab at the top of the screen, you'll see a section for "Content Library 360," which will include options for inserting Characters, Photos, Icons, etc.. Let me know if you're still not able to find it!
@@elearningacdmy There's not a single section for "Content Library 360". Here's only Insert tab which further opens into: Chracter, Pictures, Videos and audios. Not with Content Library 360. May be it's because I'm not using a subscription of the software, (free trial) that's why?
@@iqrasaeedqureshi Hmmm. It may be that you're using the trial. I'd have to see what's on your screen. If you'd like, feel free to share a screenshot in my Ask the Community space and I can help you more here: community.elearningacademy.io/c/advice/
Can all the different browsers display the Storyline animations? Since PowerPoint is so similar to Storyline, then why not learn and use PowerPoint instead?
Great question! When you publish a course from Articulate Storyline, it all gets converted into HTML5 content...so if you're using any modern browser (not like and old version of Microsoft Explorer), the animations will be just fine! :)
Hi Tim, brand new to Articulate and so far loving your videos here. At 11:36 when you open up your slide, its in more of a PowerPoint size screen to work in. When I open mine up, its an almost perfect square. How do I resize my slide??
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! You can change the slide size just like you would in PowerPoint. Go to the Design tab, then click the option for Slide Size. The default is 4:3, which is what you’re seeing. I tend to always go with 16:9. Hope that helps!
Great question. Well, Canva is mostly a graphic design tool...and PowerPoint is a presentation tool. Neither of them lets you design interactive online courses, which you can publish to an LMS. With Storyline, you can design custom interactions, etc.
