How to Create Interactive Videos with 3D Models in Storyline
February 6th, 2018
This is part two of the series on working with 3D models and interactive video. In the previous post, we looked at how to create a video using 3D models in PowerPoint. Today, we'll discover how to use them to create interactive videos in Storyline. And then of course, once you have an interaction you can also insert it into a Rise course, which is what I did in this Rise lesson.

I shared a cool 3D interaction in a recent workshop demo and have had lots of people ask how I built it. You can check out the 
In a previous post, we looked at 
Emojis are the today's hieroglyphics. I can imagine thousands of years from now as archaeologists try to reconstruct our culture. They'll spend years collecting emoji messages and then additional years to decipher them. And after all of that time, they'll come to learn that we worshiped the goddesses known as Kardashians.
It's a frightening thought indeed, but one we can counteract in how we use emojis in our training programs.
What Are Emojis? 😕
The first emojis started in Japan. It literally stands for picture character. They're often used to add emotional ...
It's common that when getting to a new web service or starting a new application you see some sort of instructions or start screen. Basically, the screen freezes your interaction with the site until you're oriented and then lets you continue. Some force the interaction and others allow you to opt-out.
Those are not much different than the 
We recently finished our E-learning Roadshows in Europe and the United Kingdom. One of the things I really enjoyed about the trip was riding trains. Where I live in the United States, there aren't many opportunities for me to ride trains between cities.
One thing that does make me a bit nervous when taking a train ride (especially in new places) is not knowing how to find my way around the station to ensure I don't miss the train. And it doesn't help when each station seems to have its ...
At a bookstore, you'll see all sorts of books covering all sorts of content. But one thing you'll notice is that while they may have different content and even look different they mostly share a similar structure.

One of the e-learning tips I give at workshops is to be intentional about your e-learning course design and production. Many course developers start with the default settings and then make changes later. However, that could impact the course and cost time and money.
So today, I'm sharing three things you should do before you start working on your e-learning course.
E-Learning Tip: Determine Your Course Size
It's important to determine your course size before you start working on the slide. If you do some work and then change it later, you may ...
Over the weekend, I was supposed to paint the house but was watching TV instead. My wife asked why I wasn't painting and I told her I couldn't because I lost the paint lid opener and couldn't open the paint can. She handed me a screwdriver.
"No dice," I said. "That's for screws. I can only use a paint lid opener."
Ridiculous, right?
E-Learning Tools from a Different Perspective
Here's the deal, e-learning vendors make products and those products have a purpose. However, the products often do more than they're designed to do. ...
I build a lot of templates and shareable files, so I often use system fonts. I do this so I don't need to worry about fonts not being installed on the other person's computer. Most of the time I stick with 
I created a demo course in Rise for a workshop. One of my goals with the demo was to show off different ways to add content and how the various blocks work and look in a real-ish project. This produced a lot of questions in the community on how I built it. So I'll try to answer them here.
I once had a manager who told me everything I report to him should be presented as five things on a notecard. He didn’t want all of the detail or nitty gritty. He just wanted a quick overview of the five most essentials points.
I get a lot of emails from people who want to transition from their current jobs into e-learning development. They want to know what they need to do (or know) to get moving in that direction.
