Overview
Storyline 360 for Software and Business Process Training provides comprehensive instruction on creating effective system simulations and process-based learning using Storyline’s screen recording and step-by-step slide capabilities. This two-day course covers the full workflow from recording software interactions through publishing polished simulations that train users on both digital tools and the business processes they support.
Participants will learn to capture and edit screen recordings, create View, Try, and Test simulation modes for progressive skill building, and design training for non-software business processes using Storyline’s interaction tools. Through hands-on projects, you’ll develop simulations that bridge the gap between watching and doing while ensuring accessibility for all learners.
Format: 2 Days | Live Online (VILT)
