You don’t want to end up with huge captions filled with long paragraphs or bullet lists of text. Keep in mind: differentiate between need-to-know and nice-to-know content, and then limit yourself to only the need-to-know.
I’ve also added explanations throughout, where it’s valuable for the learner. This example also has a summary caption that lets learners know the process is complete and summarizes what they’ve done.
What type of information should you add? Include an introduction caption that explains the process they are about to learn (like this example does) and provides the real-life trigger or context for when this process would need to be completed on the job. While the Storyline recorder will automatically capture most of the text for instruction and hint captions, only you can add that extra, contextual information that enhances the meaning for your learner. Contextual InformationĬontextual information helps learners make sense of the process they’re learning, why they need to do it, and what the bigger picture is. In addition to having these three modes, did you know you can customize any of the modes to make your slides more or less interactive, depending on your project requirements? In my after example, I started out with View Mode slides, but I manually updated the slides to add more interactivity and information where I felt it was required, so I turned the passive View Mode slides into something more engaging for my learners. When you convert a video recording into step-by-step slides, you have the option of inserting them as either View Mode, Try Mode, or Test Mode steps. Luckily, Storyline offers a variety of ways you can turn a passive video into an interactive learning experience. People love to feel like they are in control of what’s happening on the screen. Notice how much more interesting it was to actually click through the process yourself in the after version, as opposed to just watching a video of the process being done in the before version. This way, I can enlarge my course without having the recording become fuzzy or pixelated. So, for example, if my story slide is 720 x 540, I set my recording size to at least 1440 x 1040.

( Psst: You can update the story size by going to the design tab of the Storyline ribbon and clicking the Story Size button.) But here’s a pro trick: if you set the player to fill the browser window (as I do in the example here) and you want your screen recording to remain nice and crisp, set your recording area to be at least 2x the side of your story slide. If I want my screen recording to fit just right on my Storyline slide, I need to set my recording area to be the same dimensions as my Storyline slide.
