Streamlining Compliance Training with Dynamic Storyline Solutions

Compliance training can be a snooze—until it’s not. A healthcare provider I worked with needed a course on patient privacy laws, but their initial Storyline version was a wall of text with clunky navigation. Learners were checking out, and the stakes were high—non-compliance wasn’t an option. I stepped in to make it dynamic and digestible.
I built branching scenarios in Storyline where learners chose how to handle patient data, with smooth transitions between scenes powered by GSAP. For instance,
gsap.to([".scene1", ".scene2"],
{opacity: 0, stagger: 0.3})
faded out old content and brought in the next step with a staggered effect. JavaScript managed the branching logic, storing choices in variables
let choice = "A"; if (choice == "A") { showOutcome(); }
The result?
A course that felt like a conversation, not a lecture—completion rates jumped 25%.
In theory, GSAP excels at multi-element animations, giving you cinematic control over pacing. JavaScript adds the brains, letting you tailor paths based on user input. Together, they turn dry topics into immersive experiences.

This project showed me that even compliance can captivate with the right tools. If your training feels stuck in the dull zone, I’d love to help you streamline it with Storyline—reach out, and let’s make it happen!
