The Story Behind Magic Made Simple
Starting your journey as an e-learning developer can be overwhelming at times. Organizations and clients often ask you to wear several hats at once. While there’s a lot that could be said about juggling these different roles, I’d like to focus on the design hat and my experience with one of my favorite e-learning development tools: Articulate Storyline.
When I started my journey as an e-learning developer, I found inspiration and guidance in a few insightful books on the software. I also connected with many fellow e-learning developers through LinkedIn and industry events, where they shared their experiences with me and offered valuable insights into using this tool effectively.
Two other resources that really helped me grasp the basics of Articulate Storyline were YouTube and Articulate’s eLearning Heroes community. On both platforms, inspiring individuals like Chris Hodgson, Ashley Chiasson, Nejc Žorga Dulmin, and Jeff Batt generously share their insights, offering tips and tutorials that deepen your understanding of Storyline. These resources have been invaluable for learning practical techniques and becoming more comfortable with the software, as they provide real-world examples and lessons from experienced users.
In addition, I learned a great deal through trial and error—testing features, solving problems, and discovering what worked and what didn’t. While this hands-on approach was invaluable, it was also time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. That’s why I created Magic Made Simple: to help others navigate the learning curve of Storyline more efficiently.
Magic Made Simple offers:
- Step-by-step manuals
- Source files
- All the assets you need to rebuild my examples yourself.
It’s a resource designed to save you time while empowering you to learn by doing, helping you create with confidence.
