Building Branched E-Learning Scenarios

Here’s a six-part screencast series demonstrating how to build branched e-learning scenarios in PowerPoint and Articulate Presenter. You’ll work with core features including  branching, hyperlinking, slide masters and customizing player templates to create multi-path learning paths using Articulate Presenter.

About the video workshop

The idea was inspired by an Articulate community user looking to simulate loading unique content based on a learner’s selection. Navigation icons are included for learners to return to start screen or jump over to another learning path at any time.

Also included is a small, visual map in top right corner. It’s not something you’d include in a final project. I included it to visually communicate how and where the learner is at any given time in the project. It’s mostly a linear course but the course navigation buttons provide non-linear branching to each job role start slide.

The lessons:

Each lesson focuses on a specific task for setting up your e-learning scenarios. You’ll begin in PowerPoint and customize your project in Articulate Presenter.

• Part 1: Introduction
• Part 2: Slide Masters
• Part 3: Content slides and placeholders
• Part 4: Slide navigation and hyperlinking
• Part 5: Slide Properties and Branching
