In order to demonstrate proficiency with Articulate Storyline and gamification, I applied facts from the JPMorgan Chase website to an Articulate Storyline template.
Because this eLearning module was built from an existing template, the project moved very quickly. In fact, updating the content and running a few test rounds of the game took only about two hours. Anyone familiar with the Articulate community won’t be surprised—its members are wonderfully generous with sharing high-quality assets. If you’d like to explore the original template, you can find it on the community page here.
Templates often come up in my interviews for Instructional Design roles, and I’m always transparent about using them when appropriate. Leveraging a well-designed template can save an organization significant time, resources, and effort, especially when the design adjustments are straightforward. After downloading a working file, it’s typically just a matter of updating colors, fonts, and branding.
For this example, I chose to keep the layout fairly close to the original, but nothing in the template is fixed. Every element—colors, gradients, shapes, interactions, and more—can be customized or replaced entirely. Branding can be incorporated, new framing or intro elements can be added, and the overall look and feel can be completely reimagined. When it comes to eLearning files, we have an incredible amount of creative flexibility.
