Use them to focus attention, deliver critical information, or add festive flair to your course! 🎄✨ #Accessibility #Storyline #InclusiveDesign #HolidayCheer #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #Storyline #HolidayFun #InteractiveLearning  #FestiveTips #Lightboxes #OL #12DaysOfChristmas  #ProTip

🎲🎄Create Some Holiday Fun with Game Pieces in Storyline! 🎲🎄 Did you know you can design a game piece in Storyline using motion paths on an object? It’s a great way to add a dash of interactivity and festive cheer to your course!    🪄 Why Motion Paths Are Magical:  Motion paths offer sleigh-full of features, including selectable start and end points, size and position controls, and more.     Each motion path is guided by X and Y coordinates for its start and end points, which can either differ or align. This allows for:  - Seamless transitions from one motion path to another.  - Multiple paths converging at the same location.    Motion paths can be triggered by user actions - like pressing an arrow key - or set to start automatically via the timeline.    🎮 How to Create a Game Piece:  - Use motion paths triggered by a user action, such as clicking an arrow key.  - Pro Tip: To keep the motion path from snapping back to its original coordinates, select ‘Relative Start Point’ in the motion path options dropdown. This ensures your game piece moves from its last position every time - smart and festive! 🎁    Add a touch of playfulness to your course this holiday season and let your learners enjoy some interactive fun! #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #Storyline #HolidayFun #InteractiveLearning #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #Storyline #FestiveTips #Lightboxes #OL #Accessibility #eLearning #Storyline #12DaysOfChristmas #ProTip

🎄Keep Your Slides Merry and Bright with the 5/5/5 Rule! 🎄 This holiday season, make your presentations as delightful as your favorite festive treats! The 5/5/5 rule is your secret to engaging and joyful slides. Use no more than: - Five words per line of text, - Five lines of text per slide, - Or five text-heavy slides in a row. To keep your audience in the holiday spirit (and not overwhelmed), keep your slide text short, sweet, and to the point - just like your favourite holiday treats! 🎁 #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #Storyline #FestiveTips #Lightboxes #OL #Accessibility #eLearning #Storyline #12DaysOfChristmas #ProTip
