As expectations for digital learning continue to rise, experienced developers are being asked to deliver more—faster, better, and with greater impact. This Pro Lab is designed for learning developers who already work in Articulate Storyline and Rise and are ready to take the next step in how they design and build. 

The day is grounded in doing so bring your laptop! You will work through ways to elevate visual design, create more dynamic and engaging interactions, and more effectively combine Storyline and Rise into cohesive learning experiences. With a focus on customization, you will experiment with building richer interactions, developing learning games, and extending functionality through plugins and code to gain practical experience you can immediately apply to your own projects.

You will leave not only with new techniques, but with a clearer sense of how to work differently—building faster, designing more intentionally, and pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with Storyline and Rise.

You will learn to:

• Apply AI-assisted workflows to speed up development in real projects
• Evaluate visual design and overall learner experience
• Build custom interactions and learning games
• Effectively integrate Storyline within Rise experiences
• Extend functionality using plugins and code
• Work more efficiently while increasing the quality and impact of courses
