You may be familiar with carousel effects, a slide show like feature sometimes used at a website and also an available format and effect for SharePoint sites. Earlier in the week, I realized this design element could also be applied to solve the constant problem of sharing all training content without overloading the slide.
This example utilizes triggers, layers, and (my new favorite Articulate feature!) variables, and I selected a multi-step process with a singular step detailed at each stop along the carousel. I also included text box to reflect the numeric variable value in the lower, right corner as I enjoy having this reference on screen while I’m building and previewing variables. The text box with the reference can easily be moved off screen or deleted entirely when you’ve successfully applied the necessary logic.
The learner can navigate this version by simply clicking arrows, but check back soon. I’ll feature this same slide, but instead of an arrow navigation I will revise the logic to automatically progress through the process steps.
