How to Make Background Images Clickable in
Articulate Storyline-Design Document (Gold)
Business Purpose
Franklin Instructional Design Institute (FIDI) is a leading
educational institution in instructional design, committed to
providing comprehensive training resources to its trainees.
They have identified a problem within the curriculum:
instructional design trainees struggle with limited
interactivity in their e-learning modules. These modules
lack engagement, resulting in decreased learner
involvement and knowledge retention.
To address this issue, the institute has decided to develop
a microlearning video that will guide its instructional design
trainees through the steps of how to make background
images clickable in Articulate Storyline, a widely used e-
learning authoring tool.
By enabling trainees to create interactive elements in their
e-learning courses, the institute aims to empower trainees
with the necessary skills to design engaging e-learning
experiences that encourage active learner participation and
improve the overall quality of instructional design work and
foster optimal knowledge transfer.
Target Audience
Instructional design trainees at FIDI
Seat Time
7 minutes. This amount of time will provide trainees with
sufficient time to actively engage with the content,
attentively listen to the information presented, and observe
the visuals. Additionally, this duration allows trainees to
reflect upon the video's content and internalize the key
concepts effectively.
Video
Recommendation
To enhance the viewing and learning experience for FIDI
instructional design trainees, the following steps can be
implemented:
Ensure the microlearning video is accessible through
the institute's learning management system (LMS).
This centralized availability enables easy access for
all trainees, promoting convenience and efficiency.
Schedule dedicated "quiet time" during discussion
sessions specifically for trainees to watch the video
without distractions. This creates an environment
conducive to focused engagement, allowing for
immediate discussion and reflection on the content.
Before releasing the video, send a clear and
informative email or announcement to all trainees,
emphasizing the video's relevance and importance.
Provide detailed instructions on how and when to
access the video through the LMS, ensuring trainees
are well-informed about its availability.
Offer trainees a job aid that provides step-by-step
instructions for making background images clickable
in Articulate Storyline, a valuable software tool. This
resource serves as a helpful reminder and can be
referenced later for implementation and
troubleshooting purposes, aiding trainees in applying
the learned concepts effectively.
