Storyline 360’s dials feature makes it easy for learners to manipulate data, explore cause-and-effect relationships, and control other objects in the course. You’ll often see this e-learning feature used in settings and situations where you’d find a dial in real life, but there’s no reason that needs to limit how they can play a part in your courses.

In this creative download, pictures are used as dials to simulate the different components of a compass. Those dials all come together to allow learners to try their orienteering skills in a guided map navigation experience.

  • Are there any other examples of using a compass or dial anywhere? I love the idea but the map is very busy and a bit confusing.

      I'm sure a search on the Heroes boards will yield more examples, Jennifer.

      The map in this demo is from the British Ordnance Survey. They are extremely detailed, for sure. Here in the UK, most children learning to read a map at school or the Scouts or similar would use a map like this.
