Awesome! To take this cool concept ahead – maybe you can make a tutorial page, where all tutorials are filtered for quality and hosted. It would be a great “how to…” guide.

Thank you! There’s always so much interesting stuff! 😉

Thanks Sourabh & Italgo – really appreciate the feedback!

Great suggestion Sourabh.
Italgo – yes, this list should keep you busy over the weekend:-)

In fact, I should go through a few mysel:-)

David,

To elaborate on what I am suggesting 🙂
While the blogs are a great way to learn, they are not structured.

Users/experts can create these do-it-yourself demos and articulate filter them for quality/relevance and put them in one place.

For an e-learning developer..this would be an amazing resource to have. And with screenr this becomes so easy to implement.

David,
I have a question in regard to your Screenr: “How to design your e-learning templates by breaking down scene elements” (http://www.screenr/TNW). Are these elements housed in Photoshop in your Screenr? Can you do a Screenr to show us how to set up a file/resource like this?
Thank you!

Sorry, the web address should be: http://screenr.com/TNW

@Pink Lady Thanks for your question.

The example I shared was created in Photoshop but it could just as easily be in PowerPoint, Fireworks, or any program with layers. I like the option for grouping the layers but it’s not essential.

I’m more than happy to put something together for you. I’m traveling home today but look for something by Monday. I’ll post the link in this thread, too.

@Sourabh I completely understand what you’re saying. The Articulate community has created so much content the past year we’re looking at ideas for making it more accessible.

One way I’ve been able to quickly find things is by searching inside each of the Community Tutorial pages. Take Presenter tutorials: http://www.articulate.com/blog/articulate-presenter-tutorials/ and press Control-F in your browser to pull up the search field. Type “scenario” and you’ll pull up around 15 resources on screencasts.

I realize that’s not what you’re requesting and I get that. Just something in the meantime.

Just curious: What do you find yourself looking for most often? Templates? Screencasts? How are you currently finding what you need?

Thnx David,

I work at learnwithflip.com and I have been involved with the community for about 8-9 months. I did not even know the link you gave existed 🙂
Here’s my view.
1. What you gave is a blog page. When I do a search on articulate I have so many options it takes significant time to get what I want exactly. Why not give this pride of place and make a special (well categorized) section for tuts only.
2. The link has what I would call level 1 issues. Level 1 issues at our company is ” how do I do this?”. The next level is “How can I do this better? What are the different ways to do this?”
In our company we search most often for level 2 – new ideas, new concepts, ways to implement.(To answer your question)

The highest level is of course “What is the best way to do this!” This is too contextual and can only be done by a live interaction, some of which I have been seeing on the forums.

I believe, we depend on you to filter and play host to all the creativity of articulate users. I know you guys have done a great job, maybe we can take it one step further now.

Hi Sourabh – thank you for your detailed follow-up. I know the team reads every comment here so your comments are appreciated.

I like your Level 1 and Level 2 categories. Those are helpful.

You bring up a good point about maximizing all the creative work the community has created. We don’t want others to miss out on what’s already available.

Thanks and just know we’re looking at ways to bring all this info together:-)

@SOURABH ~ Independent of your excellent suggestion about organizing the tutorials, thank you for posting the categories your company uses to define issues.

That is an exceptionally useful and adaptable model for tagging information and instruction!

I think tagging is the key because it would enable a tutorial to be categorized and accessed both by product and other variables, such as your categories.

Amazing stuff. Only just realising what is possible! Thanks a lot, and please keep posting tutorials.

I’m new to Articulate.

Question #1. How can I build a Tabs interaction in Engage, move it to presenter and have the images become the background?

Question #2. How can I include text narration in the Tabs interaction so that it shows up in the final presenter project?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Herman
