It's a Storyline software simulation showing learners how to use Storyline! Thanks to the help of hotspots, layers, and triggers, this example walks learners through the process of creating a button trigger. After seeing how it's done, learners get to practice themselves in a risk-free environment. 

Explore the project here. 

Want to try building something similar in Storyline 360 but don’t have Articulate 360? Start a free 30-day trial.

      Hi Lacey. Richard just shared the .story file with us and it's now available for download up at the top of this post.

      Lacey,

      I can't attach it here. I'll pass it along to Articulate and ask them to upload the .story file to this post.

      Thanks,
      Richard

    Boooo - this is no longer here. It links to a page of a bunch of other stuff which maybe I want to see, maybe not. I came to see this. Perhaps take down the links that link to something that is no longer there?

      Kathy, I updated my website a year or so ago to reduce storage space and to avoid redirect problems, just pointed things at my Storyline samples page. The item you are looking for is at the top of the page under Simulations and Scenario Examples. It's titled: Simulation: App Training. Have a great day!

    Hi Richard, this is awesome. I did something similar but the quality of the video is not the same. How did you do to have the video so clear!?

      Gaby, it looks like someone helped you on another thread. My apologies, I've been out of the office for the last few weeks. - Richard

        I tried the other solution, however, the video quality is still nothing compared to yours...

      I believe it is made using the screen record in story-line.

        That's correct. You should be able to find several tutorials on Articulate's site that explain how to use this feature.

    I like your use of mouse click to simulate the method, but be careful in assuming the user has the reading speed or the time to stay and focus on every part. Using actual clicks of the user will keep the user more engaged an allow them to take it at their own pace.

    Richard,
    Where can I learn to do this? In particular, I would like to know how you transition from Video to the learner trying it. It looks like you are in a Video mode and then switch to Storyline. i.e. the User's Clicks now work on the video... Great design by the way; I love that it's so Clean.
    Thanks,
    Wayne.

      Wayne, better late than never. Sorry but just saw this thread. There are tons of examples on how to use this feature on the Articulate's website. Hopefully, you've found the answer by now. Again, my apologies for missing this question. - Richard

      I was practicing on this and figured out how to do it.
