This ‘Master Developer’ training course will focus exclusively on building your creative software skills and techniques using the Articulate 360 suite, predominantly focusing on Storyline 360.
Audience
This class will provide an ideal follow-up to any foundational Storyline training you might have undertaken, elevating your skills from proficient to masterful. By the end of this one-day class, you’ll not only have a deeper understanding of Storyline 360’s extensive capabilities but also the confidence to explore further the possibilities of building connected eLearning experiences that captivate and engage your learners. This training is for those who are already very familiar with Storyline including a solid understanding of triggers, conditions, and variables.
Description
This class delves into several advanced techniques that make it possible to build ‘connected’ experiences in Articulate Storyline, transforming how users interact with live and variable data.
The morning session will commence with an exciting project focused on integrating external data into Storyline using the JS Fetch API (following an overview of how to utilize RESTful APIs in Storyline).
Participants will learn to manipulate open-source live data to visualize it within a custom Articulate Storyline project, setting the foundation for creating responsive and engaging user experiences.
The afternoon session will allow participants to implement new ideas into their practical applications, by linking Storyline content with different data stores including browser-based sessionStorage and also Google Sheets, providing a hands-on opportunity to build a quiz-based activity that reflects real-time user data and previous attempt statistics.
Participants will get the opportunity to enhance their interactive projects further by exploring advanced animation techniques using GSAP, adding a layer of visual flair and sophistication to their user experiences. The workshop will balance demonstration and active participation, uncovering a deeper understanding of Storyline 360’s capabilities and how to employ them creatively.
Learning Objectives:
- Exploring the wider capabilities of the ‘Execute JavaScript’ functionality of Articulate Storyline 360 to utilize external data sources using the JS Fetch API and RESTful APIs
- Manipulating data within Storyline as project variables to visualize live data within a graphical user experience
- Building a dynamic quiz that both transmits and loads real-time data
- Discover advanced animation techniques to enhance projects further by implementing GSAP for enhanced visual effects
