This interaction makes adult learning principles more approachable thanks to a friendly color scheme, cohesive illustrations, and gentle animations. And while it still has similar functionality to a traditional tabs interaction, the unexpected layout makes the experience feel fresh and enticing. Explore this project.

Using Drag-and-Drop in E-Learning#468: Challenge | Recap If there’s one e-learning interaction that belongs in every instructional designer’s toolkit, it’s drag-and-drops. Drag-and-drop interactions are a fun way to engage learners and encourage them to interact with the screen. They’re also one of the most flexible interactions you can create. So, whether you’re designing straightforward question slides or custom freeform slides, drag-and-drop interactions are one of the best ways to get learners to stop, think, and interact with the content. And that’s what this week’s challenge is all about. 🏆 Challenge of the Week This week, your challenge is to share a drag-and-drop interaction to show how they can be used in e-learning. You can use any authoring tool you like and make it as simple or custom as you have time for. Note: Since Storyline’s drag-and-drop interactions aren’t currently keyboard accessible, they can create serious barriers for learners who rely on keyboard navigation or use screen readers.

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. Explore this project Want to know more about how this project was created?
