How to add a Course Timer in Articulate Storyline 3 or 360

Articulate Storyline has been a favorite authoring tool for many eLearning developers/ companies. Articulate Storyline is known for its simplicity and lesser learning curve to get the job done fast and easy. But just as any comfort comes with a cost, not every requirement can be implemented with the options available in Storyline by default, which forces us to make some compromises.

Though the latest release of Articulate Storyline 360 or 3 came with a bunch of new features, there are still a few that are not available natively. One of them is a Course timer, which allows learners to view the time they have spent in a particular course. Other eLearning authoring tools like Adobe Captivate or Lectora Inspire offer this functionality by default. This feature can still be achieved using some smart work-around.

In this blog we will see how to add a Custom Course Timer in Articulate Storyline 3 or 360.

First, let’s take a look at a screenshot of what we are trying to achieve in the end.

What is the advantage of cycling the layer vs cycling an animation (with timed motion path) located just off the slide or layer? Both can be used to trigger timer increments (and other variable changes). I have not used your technique, but I am intrigued.
