LN Mastery Day: eLearning Development

This event has passed.

« All Events

Even the very best tools are useless in unskilled hands...

There is no shortage of options when it comes to eLearning authoring tools, but tools can only get us so far.

Our second Mastery Day focuses on developing your eLearning development skills. Across four practical workshops, you’ll get hands-on with some key concepts and features of just some of the authoring tools out there.

This day is all about getting hands-on, so you’ll need your laptop and all the relevant software and accounts (free trials are fine). Each session will tell you what software and/or accounts you will need.

You’ll get all the assets you need to create a visually rich experience that you can adapt when building formative and sumarative assessments in your own organisation.

Enhance Your Articulate Storyline 360 Animations Using GSAP!

You likely already know how to create animations in Storyline using its in-built motion path features, but did you know there’s a whole other level of creative possibilities waiting to be explored?!

And it’s all thanks to GSAP, a powerful JavaScript animation library that’s quietly integrated into every Storyline project, offering a greater degree of control and wide-ranging creative motion design possibilities!

In this live workshop session, Chris Hodgson from Discover eLearning will demonstrate all the secrets of GSAP! Showing you how to go beyond Storyline’s conventional motion path techniques to create your own stunning, interactive, and engaging animations.
