eLearning Heroes #394 (Drag and Drop…Smoothies?)
This week’s eLearning Heroes was a challenge for me to come up with an idea. I spent the first of my five hours just chasing various ideas and researching possible topics because I am definitely not a SME on smoothies. I prefer when it’s based around an interaction or raw topic than in response to another training like this, because I didn’t want to be redundant to the example given but had no idea on the topic! (I also have no recipes for basically anything.)
Alt Text: The screen shows a drag and drop Storyline interaction with a mason jar on the left and the label “Step #1: Fruit” above it. On the right, it starts with directions: “Select the correct tool with the fruit or drag the fruit into the jar to use your hands. (See Steps).” There’s a picture of a half orange, 3 bananas, and 2 strawberries. Below, it says “Tools” and shows a fork, knife, and spoon.
I wound up focusing on a drag and drop interaction, something I can do but don’t do a lot for accessibility concerns. I also used states and true/false variables to give the user a choice. I could have built more, but I wanted to keep it simple and develop in a few hours. As always, coming up with ideas and finding the art took the longest!

Here’s my recap video with my “Working Out Loud” thinking. This week, the big challenge for me was what to make in response to such a complete smoothie demo, especially since I don’t cook/craft drinks/do culinary stuff!
Time Clocked: The full 5 hours this time, but an hour of content based on a Survivor thing was totally scrapped and another hour was spent figuring out what to actually do, so development was probably closer to 3, including sourcing the images.
