Using Articulate Storyline

Tools: Storyline, PowerPoint, DALL.E3

My Role: Instructional Designer, eLearning Developer

Time: 16 hours

Client: UNICEF



Task: To create a set of interactive coloring sheets for young children living in conflict areas with immediate deployment. Content must be created in Articulate Storyline and exported out as scorm. 

Solution

By researching eLearning Heroes, I reverse-engineered four coloring designs of varying complexity to explore the use of logic-based variables. Then I built five coloring sheets using shapes from PowerPoint and Storyline. These designs incorporate Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) principles through calming colors, soothing sounds, interactive engagement, and unexpected creative elements to enhance user well-being and personal expression. 

Result

Pros: Due to necessity, the turnaround time on this project was short, making it essential to design adaptable activities. Once the foundational structure was built, it became much easier to integrate new elements, allowing the focus to shift toward addressing the psychological and emotional needs of the audience. 

Cons: There were some challenges to the workflow, such as occasional issues with variables and triggers requiring adjustments and testing. Naming states properly was also vital to the process, as some limitations with shape options led to importing assets, which was slightly time-consuming if not named effectively for each state.
