Gate Screens in E-Learning #3: Challenge | Recap
Challenge of the Week
Show and share your best out-of-the-box ideas for using gate screens:
- Objective: Design a two-slide interaction that includes a content screen and a gate screen. The content screen can be a placeholder screen. The key is to show how your gate screen will load and close in relation to the course.
- Tools: You can use Articulate Storyline or PowerPoint to create your example.
- Resources: Check out Tom’s post on gate screens and the free Storyline and PowerPoint templates he put together in our downloads section.
