Storyline 360 Interactive Map

The process

Creating an informative interactive map using Storyline 360 is a dynamic and engaging way to present information to your audience. 

Plan and Research

The first step I took was to determine the purpose of your interactive map and gather all relevant information. This may include informative facts, images, and other multimedia elements. It's also important to consider the target audience, and how they will interact with the map.

Design

Once I gathered the information, it was time to design the map. Storyline 360 offers a variety of customization options, so I used different types of media, added markers, and incorporated multimedia elements, and a help icon. I also used pop-up layers to provide descriptions of the specific locations on the map. 

When designing an interactive experience for a broad audience, it's important to keep the design simple and easy to use. For this reason, I avoid overly complex designs or technical features that may be confusing or intimidating to some users. I use clear language and provide instructions to guide users through the experience. I also utilize visual cues, such as arrows or icons, to help users understand how to interact with the experience.

Test and Refine

Before publishing your map, it's important to test it thoroughly to ensure that all elements are functioning as intended. I made the changes necessary and even added sound effects to improve the user experience. I then presented the interactive map to fellow eLearning colleagues. Once I was satisfied with the project, I published it through AWS.
