Other Games Available on the Interaction Builder

Pre-developed Templates! That’s the secret sauce! We have been making and using eLearning templates for years. If you need to quickly develop eLearning courses, using templates is the way to go.

I developed this entire course in about an hour!

In my example below I used Articulate, a rapid eLearning software that leaverages PowerPoint. I started off with a PowerPoint Course style template that I then customized to match my branding. I used a People Cutout series to give the course a friendly presenter that walks the learner through the training. Inserting some Flash interactions and a game helped make the course more engaging. The interactions and game were made at eLearning Interaction Builder. Finally, the course was published with a custom Articulate skin (player).

Here is a list of the prices and products used to develop this course:

• Articulate Presenter software
• $149 PowerPoint Course Style
• $40/month eLearning Interactions Builder subscription
• $150 People Cutout series
• $450 Articulate player skin

If you’ve been coming to this site for awhile you probably know that we build a lot of custom flash games/quizzes/interactions for eLearning developers. I want to take a moment and focus on how the templates work with Articulate.

eLearning Games

Each of the games is created in Flash and has scoring and looks amazing. A learner answers various questions and gets feedback and a running score. Every game comes with the .fla file so that you can customize everything until your heart is content.

However, if you don’t know flash very well, that’s ok. All you have to do is insert your question text into the movie clips in the library. (a tutorial is included with every .fla and there are videos on our template tutorial site.

There are 8 games available right now:

Articulate Presenter Games (Jeopardy, Millionaire, Pyramid, Golf, Spy Game, Board Game, Soccer, Bootcamp)

eLearning Interactions

Ever wish that you have tons of interactive page layouts just ready and waiting? Now you can! We’ve created 4 different designs of interactive flash layouts. Pages with tabs and sections, scenarios, drag and drops, flash cards, quizzes, and more! Each set has over 30 interactive layouts.

All you need to do is add your text to the text movieclip in flash and publish. Here are some samples:

Using Templates and Games in Articulate Presenter

Here are the steps to use these flash templates in Articulate:

1. Add the text that you want to see in your game/interaction to the appropriate movieclip in Flash.

2. Publish the flash movie as .swf

3. In PowerPoint go to Articulate / Flash Movie

4. Select your .swf

5. From the Insert Flash Movie window choose these settings:

That’s it.

So how do you visually indicate where or what a user should click on? How do they know when they are supposed to interact with your course content?

Here are some examples of what I call “click alerts”. I like to use click alerts through out the course to help the user know when I expect them to interact with content. The click alerts below are made in flash and usually have a slight pulse or strobe. This subtle movement is enough to catch the user’s attention but is not distracting.
