Free Download: Storyline Menu Template
Recently, while reading some web development articles I came across this cool animated menu and thought it would make a cool elearning course menu. I took a few minutes to recreate it and this is how it turned out. Add a cool, appealing intro slide in front and this could make a nice opening sequence forContinue reading “Free Download: Storyline Menu Template”
Free Download: Storyline Elearning Navigation Menu
As I was browsing through my morning reading recently, I came across this nifty navigational demo on the codyhouse.com website. I think this makes a nice addition to an online course so I crafted a quick example in Storyline. View Demo | Download Storyline file
No Photoshop Required
Ethos3 recently posted a ‘How to’ on how they made their cut out images in Photoshop for their fabulous “Simplify, Simplify, Simplify” deck. I saw a question asking if this could be done using ONLY PowerPoint and the answer is yes and it’s super simple. Here is one way it can be done: 1. RemoveContinue reading “No Photoshop Required”
Buffer
I do a lot of reading and try to share a lot of the best stuff I find via twitter. Usually this resulted in a big mass flood of tweets in the dark hours of the morning when most people here in the U.S. are still sleeping. Recently I discovered a much better way toContinue reading “Buffer”

In the post he shows how he built it alongContinue reading “Displaying Documents in PowerPoint”
Publishing PowerPoint/Articulate to DVD
Since we’re developing materials for people working in power plants, we have a fair number of the people in our audience do not have easy access to a PC. ( Imagine the guy driving a bull dozer in a coal yard for instance.) It’s much easier for them to find a TV/DVD player than aContinue reading “Publishing PowerPoint/Articulate to DVD”
Articulate Community Flip Card Template “in the wild”
I just wanted to share how I’ve used one of the great elearning templates from the Articulate community for a recent project. If you haven’t tapped into the Articulate community you’ve definitely been missing out! I used Tom’s Flip Card template for a course on signs & barricades. I loved the original version but it’sContinue reading “Articulate Community Flip Card Template “in the wild””
Using Diigo’s Webslides in Articulate as a Web Object
I recently came across this post on the Diane Ree’s Instructional Design Fusion blog and immediately thought of using these Diigo for Articulate courses. This is a good way to provide a “guided tour” of online resources within your course. For example, we often do safety related courses and could use this to walk viewersContinue reading “Using Diigo’s Webslides in Articulate as a Web Object”
