This week’s eLearning Heroes Challenge was to create a flat office or desktop theme based on your own work space. I love the visual design challenges so I jumped into to this one wholeheartedly! What is flat design? For the visual design newbies out there, flat design is a style that focuses on making images […]

I was one of the lucky folks that got to beta test Storyline 2 and lemme tell ya’ - it was hard to hold my tongue.  I am so happy that it was officially released last week so I can share my excitement about this upgrade! So happy that, for the next few weeks, I […]

Somehow, magically, I was ahead of the game last week. Not long after I published my Sliding Along with Storyline 2 post, David posted that this week’s ELH Challenge would be to create something using the new sliders feature! Imagine my surprise and delight when my post was featured on the challenge page. I could […]

I managed to kill 2 birds with one stone today and built a quick little demo that both demonstrates some motion paths in SL2 (which I wanted to do on the blog this week) and completes this week’s ELH Challenge!

Happy Halloween everyone! In an appropriate celebration of this spooky holiday, the ELH Challenge for the week centers around things that Instructional Designers don’t like to hear - the tricks amongst the treats of our jobs.

I was excited about this for a few reasons, but mainly because I had wanted to mock up something similar to this for a while now to show as a sample of how interactive documents can be created pretty easily with Storyline. The […]

It’s the holiday season which means lots of baking in my household. Pies, cakes, bars, cookies… you name it, we make it. With so many treats on my mind, I decided to build a delicious drag and drop demo. Baking Basics walks you through the process of making a cupcake batter. It showcases a lot […]

Now that the exhaustion and constant movement that comes along with the joy of the holidays has subsided, I decided to tackle a couple of old ELH Challenges! This demo takes on two recent ones: interactive charts and graphs and the color of the year. I took my inspiration from a simple, interactive graph I […]

I’ve been a little quiet lately because, well, winter, but also because I have been in a period of transition. Starting February 16th I will be the Assistant Director, Instructional Design at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. This exciting new opportunity means I have been spending some time […]
