Do you ever feel like you’re building courses in the dark? Designing game-changing e-learning requires a game plan and a lot of practice. Clients, SMEs and even teammates can change plays without notice. That’s why you need a talented offense like E-Learning Heroes—they’ll leave the lights on for you so you can keep your eyes on the ball.
This week’s game featured animation tips, custom avatars, text-to-speech options, user demos and a lot more. For an instant replay of last week’s e-learning action, check out the highlights below:
Community tutorials:
- Zoom in on key course content in Articulate Storyline
- Turning the Quizmaker timer on & off, and creating your own timer
- Creating a knowledge check in Articulate Engage
- Linking from one Engage section to another (or to a Presenter slide) in an Engage interaction
- Protect your eLearning audio as part of the round tripping process in Articulate Presenter
- Articulate Presenter audio bulk upload tool. HOW did I not know about this until now?
