Session 2: Storyline Practice (1/23/24) This training session built on last week’s “homework,” which asked participants to select a topic that interests them so they can practice applying Storyline features as they learn about them in upcoming training sessions. Doria shared a recording of this session with the DT team. For future access to the recording, contact Melissa Moreno. Reminder The focus of the training sessions over the next few months is on helping participants gain the knowledge and skills needed to update existing courses in Storyline. Later on, we’ll focus on developing new courses, including storyboarding and creating a design plan. With that in mind, participant feedback is helpful and welcome! Storyline Vocabulary Tip A “scene” is a collection of slides, somewhat similar to a chapter in a book; they’re often—but not always—related thematically. The primary purpose of using scenes is to organize a course’s slides and to map out branching (how the user navigates through the course). Homework for Next Week Apply what you learned today to build a simple start page for your selected topic. Here are the steps you should take: • Create a title slide (Click “New Slide” in the ribbon or Right Click>Basic layouts>Title Only; enter title in text box; adjust text box placement as needed) • Insert, place, & format: o Start button o Audio file(s) (You can either record an audio file using your computer’s mic or generate an AI-generated text-to-speech file.) • Publish to 360 • Optional: o Add animations to any of the elements you like. o Time audio w/animations using the timeline. o Add a trigger to the start button and direct it to a 2 nd slide (2 nd slide can be blank). o 1 photo o 1 shape Next Training Session • Tuesday, January 30, at 1 p.m. ET • Please have Storyline (and the opening slide you prepared) open on your desktop when you join the call.
