This challenge was set by David Anderson at Articulate. The challenge is all about teaching math online to high school students. I started with PowerPoint slides which I had previous converted into iSpring (Free version) which is very linear. There were certain elements of the iSpring production I liked, so I kept those, but generally it was a rebuild using Storyline 2. With Storyline 2 the student has the choice whether to study first before taking the tests, which I couldn't do with iSpring. Also, the original version only had one topic this new one has two topics (which could be extended). I found using the Chapter feature in Storyline 2 made navigating around and previewing the project much easier. I also wanted to trial as many of the Quiz types as possible. This became challenging with the rigid built in templates and formats. I had to construct my questions and positioned the answers on the slide in a user friendly format to enable the student to understand the question, provide the correct answer and perform the task correctly. Any feedback would be appreciated!
This weekly challenge was to design an interaction graphic, demo, or activity that features a Valentine's Day theme. My design is a a Valentine Card, there isn't much interaction on this one, so it's very much like a PowerPoint. Click on the lips to get things started!
I've been working on this project for a couple of weeks now and if I hadn't been look for suitable free music (without success), this would have been finished ages ago. Also, for this project I wanted it to be more than just a few slides, so I could get a feel for how to link and use the Scenes efficiently in Storyline 2. So, my final project is an interactive restaurant menu with search functionality. Enjoy!
This video screen cast demonstrates how to create a shape, change the colour, add animation using PowerPoint. This is just an example therefore the Help button does not provide any real Help at the moment. The recording was made using Articulate Storyline 2. This is the same screen cast as above, but this time, I chose to convert the recording into slides with step by step instructions. Check it out the difference below.
Another cool way to use a slider by using it as a form of measurement. I enjoyed creating this activity and my daughter enjoyed testing it.
The slider was a new feature to me, and it was easy to change the slider features, there were just a few things to bare in mind when setting up the slider using the Slider properties. In general they seem relatively simple to use. Can't wait to test this out on more challenges via the Articulate Community.
Watch the moon phases change! This is a great way to use the slider. It really does make an impact. Try it and see!
This multiple choice quiz was built in Storyline 2, see quiz below. Storyline 2 also offers drag and drop quizzes using hot spots, see quiz below. Another quiz type from Storyline 2, allows the learner to click multiple correct answers. Try it below.
I've never used variables before so they were difficult to get my head around, I still need to practice this feature further. Saying that, I included variables in #62 - How to survive the holidays, which was challenging but I got there in the end. I'm sure there will be more opportunities for me to use variable further down the track of the Articulate Community Challenges.
Tutorial No 8 was possibly the hardest to get my head around as it was using the Triggers in Storyline 2. I've used triggers in PowerPoint before but not to this extent. ie opening and closing the fridge, plus hiding the ice cream once dropped inside the fridge. You could say it was a learning curve. It looks so simple but there are a few triggers to manage and a second layer where the fridge is open. Great idea though, and it looks appropriate.
