Debrief on Last Week’s Assignment Participants shared the following comments:
• Melissa and Sylvia said they met, refreshed a bit on the previous assignment on layers, and reviewed sections of the recorded training, which they found helpful. They talked about adding the triggers and changing the states of the button. In general, they found the homework assignment was a little more complex this time, but still doable and straightforward. Melissa explained that they duplicated their base layer before adding triggers, but it could have saved them some time and work if they’d had triggers in their base layer before duplicating it. • Doria said she’s feeling good about layers at this point. Main Topic for This Week: Layer Properties • Tip: In Storyline, the purpose for the “Dim” button at the bottom right of the screen is to dim the background while you’re editing slides, but it doesn’t affect what users will see in the final view. • Layer properties aren’t visible on the base layer (slide). • The default setting under Visibility is to hide other slide layers. • You can also select “Hide objects on the base layer” or “Hide slide layer when timeline finishes.” • The training slides presented in class are available: o 360 Review: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/1ee2ac2a-51bf- 4530-9c75-2a4e40355f64/review o Storyline file on Confluence: https://insigniafederalgroup.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/2180 218881/Layer%20Properties.story?api=v2 Resource Reminder The Articulate E-Learning Heroes site that was mentioned last week has a helpful reference page on working with layers. You can use this page to review today’s discussion about layer properties. Homework for Next Week • Go back to the “practice course” you started earlier. • Pick one of your 3 course topics you haven’t yet explored: • In the corresponding scene related to that topic, create a new slide, including a base layer with audio and/or animations that require the use of timing on the slide. • Create a layer that provides more info on the topic—design as you like. • Create a button which, when clicked, opens the layer.
