Did you know you can Vibe Code for Articulate Storyline as well? Create custom games and interactions with AI that work perfectly inside of your eLearning course? I have talked a lot about getting something you #VibeCoded into the #Rise code block but had someone ask about how to use the code inside of #Storyline so wanted to create a video walking you through how to take something from Claude #AI and use it as a fully functional page inside of Storyline. There are a couple of extra steps to do but I do hope that Storyline implements something like the Rise code block in the future where you can just copy and paste in the code or just import a zip. This however opens up a lot of possibilities still within Storyline, being able to create customizable interactions without complex triggers or logic. I took the game I vibe coded last week and got it fully functioning inside of Storyline. Full video here: https://lnkd.in/gQJt-hEX

If you are a new eLearning Developer, you may not be sure how to handle audio in a course. This article covers 6 options for making decisions on how to use audio. As you create courses, you may find what works best for your audience. I like that this article points out the use of sound effects and even music in eLearning. Both of these if used well not only contribute to the learning but make it interesting as well. This is especially true if you are making a game-based learning project.

If you are creating or authoring Rise content. I recommend checking out Articulate’s maturity plan for Storyline. It outlines known accessibility issues with the application, if there is a planned fix, and provides additional workarounds and details. #accessibility https://lnkd.in/gBjW8VfP

Storyboard_V1.0: “Looks great!” Storyboard_V17.0: “Let’s just add one small thing…” Every instructional designer knows this story. You submit your first storyboard. Clean. Structured. Beautiful. ✨ Then the feedback starts rolling in: 👉 “Can we add this? It’s important.” 👉 “Let’s include one more example.” 👉 “Maybe a quick scenario?” 👉 “Oh… and a short video.” 👉 “And this compliance point.” Seventeen versions later… Your storyboard has officially entered its ✨ expansion era ✨ Welcome to the world of stakeholder feedback, scope stretch, and evolving learning requirements. But here’s the twist — this is where real learning design magic happens. 🧠 Because behind every “small addition” is: ✔ clearer learning objectives ✔ stronger business alignment ✔ better learner relevance ✔ richer instructional strategy Iteration isn’t the enemy. Unstructured additions are. 😅 The real skill? Turning feedback overload into structured, high-impact eLearning design. 🎯 Be honest… What’s the highest version number your storyboard has reached? 👇😂 #instructionaldesign #elearning #learninganddevelopment #storyboarding #corporatetraining #instructionaldesigner

Storyline360 just released an accessibility checker tool which will help flag potential accessibility issues. I had a quick glance and it flags things such as tiny text, missing alt text on images, missing captions on A/V content, videos set to autoplay and missing use of heading styles. https://lnkd.in/e_-ZTYZP

I'm working on my next Articulate Storyline mini-series! Drop a support reaction to this video if it's something you might be interested in so I can come back and find you when it's ready for release. Here’s the plan: a series of mini tutorials that, step by step, will help you build a fully functioning mini platform game in Storyline. And the best part? NO CODE! 😱 #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #LearningAndDevelopment #EdTech #OnlineLearning #DigitalLearning #Gamification #ArticulateStoryline

This week I participated in #ELHChallenge 505, which focused on using button sets in Articulate Storyline—a simple feature with a lot of potential. For my submission, I recreated a classic click-to-reveal interaction, this time using a cleaner, trigger-free approach with button sets and custom states. In my blogpost, I share how I built it and some of the key things I’ve learned along the way in working with Storyline. (downloads included) Follow the link below for a live preview: https://lnkd.in/efNXUg9f Check out the full post on Articulate’s Community: https://lnkd.in/eBp6-QD2 or visit my personal website: https://lnkd.in/ec3Zzcfp #instructionaldesign #elearning #ArticulateStoryline #learningdesign #elearningdevelopment #elhchallenge #elearningBrewery

I got a question for ya'll: Is the eLearning authoring tool as we know it dead? It's a question I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. So, let's discuss! Ya know, a few months back, I invited Jeff Batt into my community to talk about vibe coding...and one of the things he showed was how he was using tools like Lovable to essentially vibe code his own eLearning authoring tool. And I gotta say...it was pretty damn impressive. Since then, I’ve seen more and more people using vibe coding to build custom interactions and other learning elements, and then embedding those into the tools they already use. And this is what got me thinking... If we can vibe code the interaction, at what point can we vibe code the whole learning experience? And if we can do that, then what exactly is the authoring tool for? Is it just a familiar interface? A publishing wrapper? A SCORM machine? A place to organize content? Maybe. But AI can increasingly do those things too. So, at what point does the AI tool stop being the assistant… nd start becoming the authoring environment itself? Well, that’s exactly what I talked about with Melissa Milloway in my new video. 🔗 Watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/g4xf3rMi Otherwise, I'm curious where you land on this: Do you think traditional authoring tools still have a clear long-term role, or are we watching that category start to break apart? Let me know down in the comments! See ya around! —Tim #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #LearningAndDevelopment #VibeCoding #AI
