  • Prison break (#198)

    Prison break (#198)

    This portfolio piece was created for the eLearning Heroes Challenge #198 (designing escape the room puzzle games in eLearning). This was the first eLearning Heroes Challenge that I attempted; however, it took me a whole month to complete, so I worked on other challenges in the meantime. I wanted to really push my development skills with this challenge, so I included animations from Adobe Animator and Adobe Character Animator, I included a countdown timer across multiple slides, I included several GoAnimate/Vyond videos based on the prison break outcome, and I threw in more states, triggers, and conditions than I had ever used before.

  • Icelandic soccer team (#200)

    Icelandic soccer team (#200)

    This portfolio piece was created for the eLearning Heroes Challenge #200 (how are you using lightbox slides in eLearning?). With the World Cup coming up, I was caught up in the soccer fever and decided to design an interaction based on the Icelandic soccer team. Since Icelandic names are difficult to pronounce for those who do not speak the language, I thought it would be a nice touch to add in the audio (using Storyline’s text-to-speech) so that everyone can cheer for them this summer!

  • Introduction to French (#179, #195, #197)

    Introduction to French (#179, #195, #197)

    This portfolio piece was created as a combination of three eLearning Heroes Challenges (#179 using eLearning to teach foreign languages; #195 how can learners choose their own avatars in eLearning?; #197 using badges, awards, and achievements in eLearning courses). Instead of setting up the characters as different states, I created alternative pathways so that the avatars could have different voices when teaching the language. This seemed like a good topic for using badges, as each lesson is stand-alone.

  • Colouring book (#190)

    Colouring book (#190)

    This portfolio piece was created for the eLearning Heroes Challenge #190 (designing interactive colouring books for eLearning). I wanted to add a small aspect of learning into the design, so I added a language learning component. I used the text-to-speech functionality of Storyline to create the voices

  • Fruits and Veggies (#155)

    Fruits and Veggies (#155)

    This portfolio piece was created out of curiosity about the dragged over states in Storyline. I first came across this functionality when exploring the eLearning Heroes Challenge #155 (design an interaction to simulate the grocery store checkout process). Instead of choosing this topic, I created a new scenario based on the swiping aspect of a popular dating app.

  • Circular menu (#189)

    Circular menu (#189)

    This portfolio piece was created for the eLearning Heroes Challenge #189 (circular menu navigation). This was my first experience creating nesting animation for a button. Rather than creating content simply for the challenge, I decided to create a buildable forest scene.
