NOTE: if the event shows sold out and you're interested in attending, contact me and I can see if there are any additional seats.

Spend a day (or two) with the Articulate team and user community to learn more about e-learning design and how to get more from your Articulate tools.

The workshop sessions are informal, fun, and packed with tricks, tips, and ideas you can use immediately to help take your e-learning skills to the next level. And if that’s not enough, you’ll get access to the source files and video tutorials shared during the workshop.

Our workshops are designed for users of all skill levels from beginners to those with years of course building experience. However, they do anticipate at least a functional understanding of basic Storyline authoring.

You can sign up for one or both days. Sign up for both days and get a 10% discount on top of any other discounts.

DAY 1 AGENDA

I like to break e-learning course development into three core focal points: what content needs to be in the course, what should it look like, and what's the learner to do. This forms the foundation for all of our sessions as we look at using the Articulate software to build courses.

These tend to be quick hit sessions where we show a boatload of tips and tricks. Some topics* include:

10 Things to Know About Drag & Drop Interactions.
How to Use PowerPoint with Rise 360
Using Lightbox Slides in E-Learning
Create an Engaging Parallax Slider Interaction.
Finding the Right Look and Feel for your Course
Everything You Wanted to Know About Object States But Were Afraid to Ask
Nip and Tuck Your Slides Using the 5-Point Makeover Process
Build Interactive Scenarios in Rise 360
How to Update Old Courses When You No Longer Have the Source Files

DAY 2 AGENDA

This day focuses on moving past click-and-read courses by reworking the content to make it more engaging and interactive. In a series of hands-on activities, we review existing content and learn some technique that when applied will completely transform your slides from standard click-and-read content to something more interactive and engaging.

Topics* include:

How to Gamify Content Library Templates
Background Slide Makeovers
Customize Drag & Drop Interactions
From Static to Interactive
Interactive Quiz Makeovers

*Session topics subject to change.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I CANNOT PAY WITH A CREDIT CARD (OR MY CREDIT CARD DOESN’T WORK)

Unfortunately, some credit cards (usually corporate or government) timeout before they're authorized. There are two options to try: PayPal or Stripe. If one doesn't work, try the other. If you still have problems paying for the event, contact me and I can process the card manually.

If you have any questions (or problems) regarding payment, please contact me.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We try to keep things relaxed and encourage casual attire. No need to dress business casual. Jeans are fine.

SHOULD I BRING MY LAPTOP?

Bring your laptop with the Articulate software installed. You can always download a trial version of the software to follow along with the Articulate-specific activities. And if you just want to sit and observe without doing activities that is also OK, but you’ll have more fun participating.

IS THIS A TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR BEGINNERS?

The sessions are flexible for both beginners and more advanced users. But it is assumed you have some experience using the software as it is NOT a getting-started training program. You should have familiarity with the basic authoring in Storyline. We recommend going through some of the getting-started activities & tutorials in the community. Here are your options if you do need a beginner-level training program.

CAN I GET HELP WITH MY OWN PROJECT?

We are always around to look at your work and answer questions throughout the day.

IS INTERNET PROVIDED?

We try to provide Internet service when available, however, for the workshop it is not required. Often the wifi connections are spotty so we assume no Internet and if it’s working, that’s a bonus.

CANCELLATION POLICY
