What is eLearning — types, formats, and industry standards (SCORM, xAPI)

Instructional Design fundamentals — ADDIE, SAM, and Bloom's Taxonomy

Articulate Storyline 360 interface — scenes, slides, timeline, and slide panel

Adding and formatting text, images, shapes, and basic media

Slide properties — dimensions, player settings, and publish configuration

Building your first interactive slide: click-to-reveal content

Basic triggers — jump to slide, show/hide layer, show next slide

Object states — Normal, Hover, Visited, Selected, Disabled, Hidden and custom states

Building click-to-reveal, tab interactions, and accordion panels using layers

Layer properties — base layer control, audio behaviour, timeline management

Feedback layers — redesigning correct, incorrect, and try-again feedback

Building a 5-tab interaction for a real-world eLearning use case

Lightboxes — glossary panels, help modals, and reference pop-ups

Completion checklists — tracking visited items before unlocking navigation

Advanced triggers — AND/OR/NOT conditions, trigger order, multi-condition logic

Progressive content unlocking — gating navigation until criteria are met

Variables — Text, Number, and True/False types with professional naming conventions

Learner personalisation — capturing name and using it across the course

Number variables — score trackers, attempt counters, and visual progress bars

True/False flags — section completion tracking across scenes

JavaScript basics in Storyline — dynamic date display, GetVar, SetVar

Branching scenario design — flowchart planning before building

Choice architecture — plausible wrong answers, consequence design

Building branching in Storyline — Scene View as a branching map

Decision tracking with variables — accumulating score and choice flags across branches

Results debrief slide — personalised summary based on all choices made

Remediation pathways — directing learners back to relevant content

Branching QA — walkthrough testing every path, checking variable resets

Timeline mastery — narrative sequencing, seekbar control, auto-advance

Entrance, exit, and emphasis animations — duration, delay, and easing

Motion paths — simulations, process demonstrations, multi-stage movement

Audio-visual synchronisation — syncing object reveals to narration cue points

Master slides and layout hierarchy — designing 6+ content layouts

Brand themes — colour palettes, typography systems, and reusable templates

Accessibility — WCAG 2.1 AA, alt text, tab order, keyboard navigation, NVDA testing

SCORM publishing — SCORM 1.2 vs SCORM 2004 vs xAPI, completion tracking, LMS testing on SCORM Cloud

AI-assisted eLearning production — ChatGPT and Claude for scenario writing and quiz generation

AI voiceover tools — ElevenLabs and Murf AI for narrated course production
