Simulation Step is a variation of Demo, one of the more advanced Steps to create!
Learners will interact with a series of images that highlight interactive spots to simulate how an app, program, or website navigates.
How to Build
To begin:
CREATE and CONFIGURE your Demo Step
SELECT "NEXT"
"SAVE"
Create your simulation
SELECT "Launch Demo Editor"
SELECT "Turn on Simulator Mode" (from bottom menu options)
From here, REPEAT as needed!
- Choose your image -
To upload a new image:
SELECT the cloud with the "up" arrow in the middle of the screen
FIND the image you wish to use
CHOOSE the image
To use an existing image:
SELECT "Launch Asset Manager"
FIND the image you wish to use
HOVER over the image
SELECT "USE"
Once selected, ENTER a "Screen Name" to identify the image you're using.
- Create hot spots -
OPEN a stage
DECIDE where your "hot spots" will be (where learners will click)
CLICK, HOLD, AND DRAG mouse over the area you want to use
ADJUST position/size as needed
- Add additional stages -
SELECT the "+" sign to add your next stage
REPEAT above steps until all needed images have been added
- Establish navigation -
OPEN a stage
SELECT a hot spot
SELECT "Jump to Step" from the HotSpot menu
CHOOSE which stage will open when hot spot is selected
REPEAT for each hot spot on each stage
Once you're done, SELECT "Finish!"
Final touches
- Exit Summary -
WRITE an "Exit Summary" that learners will see when the last stage is complete. (E.g. "Great Job! You now know how to deposit checks through our app!")
- Completion Action -
When you want learners to put what they just learned into practice or simply view the web page/application, you can link to it from here!
To do this:
UPLOAD an appropriate image
ENTER "Link Text" (such as "Try it for yourself!")
ENTER "Link URL" (the web page where the actual program is)
ENTER "Action Description" (explain what the learner will be doing in more detail)
Make your simulation available to the public!
In addition to all of the above, you can also include any Demo Step you create in a public-facing page!
