Creating Accessible E-Learning in Articulate 360 Virtual Training Syllabus
This 2-session virtual training provides everything you need to begin building accessible e-learning courses in Storyline 360 and Rise 360.
In this training, we’ll explore how to build courses that work for all learners and meet compliance standards. We’ll focus on the practical aspects of creating accessible e-learning by building interactions in Storyline 360 and Rise 360 that contain text, images, multimedia, and interactivity.
Prerequisites
All participants should have basic computer skills and familiarity with Articulate 360. These 2-hour sessions build on the knowledge presented in the Basic Articulate Storyline 360 training, Advanced Articulate Storyline 360 training, and Articulate Rise 360+ training. Therefore, it is recommended you first attend those sessions or have mastered the concepts of the building blocks in Storyline (slides, states, layers, and triggers) and the basic functionality of Rise 360.
