Bridge the gap between understanding design and being able to build it. In this course, you will use your preferred development tool to create robust CCAF interactions.

Participate in a hands-on workshop to learn how to use Articulate Storyline* or Captivate to build instructional interactions. Basic knowledge of the tools is assumed. Learners will learn how to create interactions outside of the traditional “test-question” model, focusing specifically on using imagery and hot-spot and hot-object interactivity to create compelling context, using variables to track actions and delay judgment, and non-linear sequencing. This will be a multi-week course with required independent work.

In this course you will:

  • Participate in hands-on workshops
  • Recreate award-winning e-learning activities from the Allen Interactions portfolio
  • Work with professionally-created assets, provided by the instructor
  • Create interactions outside of the traditional “test-question” model
  • Use imagery and hot-spot interactivity to create compelling context
  • Employ variables to track actions and delay judgment
  • Craft non-linear, learner-driven interfaces

Prerequisites: None

Experience level: You should have some basic knowledge of the Storyline interface.  If you've never used Storyline before, we also recommend orienting yourself to the interface with some simple tutorials prior to the first session.
