Here is an early version of the simulation that I used to work out the overall navigation scheme and confirm the setup for tabbed navigation, disabling/enabling menu items, slide view, story view, preview, etc. That got everyone’s attention and right from the beginning removed any doubts that Storyline can be used to develop complex simulations. At the end of this demo, I casually mentioned that “Oh and by the way, what I just showed you was NOT the actual Storyline application, but a SIMULATION of the application”. So I thought I’d start the session by showing off the new Storyline 2 UI, including the various tabs and some selected new features.

In the initial discussion about which topics should be covered in the workshop, the client also mentioned they have doubts Storyline 2 could be used to build complex software simulations that go way beyond the usual, linear Step-by-Step demoes and exercises.

In addition to developing eLearning projects for various clients, I occasionally conduct training courses and workshops for Storyline. One of my clients asked me to run a 1-day workshop that, after a brief overview of Storyline 2’s new features, focused on the type of eLearning courses they build most often: Software simulations for their ERP system.
