What we build in Storyline
Build the interaction your training actually needs.
Articulate Storyline gives us the control to create realistic decisions, guided practice, software simulations and assessments that go well beyond clicking through slides.
Branching scenarios
Let learners make decisions—not just click Next.
Put learners into realistic situations where their choices change the feedback, consequences or path through the course.
Decision 01
A new manager receives three urgent requests. What should they address first?
A
Respond to the loudest request
B
Assess urgency and business impact
C
Handle the quickest task first
Software simulations
Give learners a safe place to practise.
Demonstrate a workflow, guide learners through each step or let them complete a realistic software task independently.

Select the employee record
Assessments and practice
Measure whether learners can apply what they learned.
Move beyond basic recall questions with realistic challenges, confidence checks, tailored feedback and measurable results.

Beyond the visual design
Good Storyline work happens below the surface.
Behind every smooth interaction is a carefully structured system of triggers, variables, reusable components, accessibility decisions and publishing settings.
We build that foundation properly so your course remains dependable, editable and ready for delivery.

Interaction logic
Triggers, variables and object states work together to control decisions, feedback and learner progress without creating a fragile course.
Choose the right authoring tool
Storyline, Rise—or a combination of both?
Not every course needs the same production approach. Select what your training needs to accomplish and see which Articulate tool is likely to be the strongest fit.

Recommended approach
Strong fit
Articulate Storyline 360
Storyline is the stronger choice when learners need to make decisions, explore consequences and receive feedback based on their actions.
Best when you need
- Branching decision paths
- Consequence-based feedback
- Custom visual interactions
Important consideration
A custom Storyline course generally requires more development and quality assurance than a straightforward scrolling course.
Our Storyline development process
From rough files to a course ready to launch.
Storyline development runs more smoothly when the course structure, interaction plan and delivery requirements are established before production gets complicated.
We guide the project through one organized workflow—from reviewing your source material to testing the final SCORM or xAPI package in your learning environment.
Senior-led from beginning to end
The people planning the experience stay connected to the people building it.
Clear reviews without production chaos
Feedback is organized into defined review rounds before final testing and delivery.
Senior-led production
Built carefully. Reviewed clearly.
A clean production path
Four connected stages. One accountable team.
02
Design
Plan the experience
The storyboard, visual direction, interaction patterns and course structure are established before full development.
03
Develop
Build and review
We develop the course in Storyline 360 and manage feedback through clear, structured review rounds.
04
Deliver
Test and launch
The finished course is quality checked, published for your LMS and delivered with its editable Storyline source files.
Storyline development FAQ
Before we open the project file.
Straightforward answers about custom Storyline development, existing course files, accessibility and LMS delivery.
Have a different question?01 What can you build in Articulate Storyline 360?
We develop custom Storyline courses including branching scenarios, software simulations, assessments, interactive practice, onboarding and compliance training.
Storyline is especially useful when learners need to make decisions, explore consequences or practise tasks rather than simply read or watch information.
02 Can you update or repair an existing Storyline course?
Yes. We can review an existing .story file, identify what can be reused and recommend whether the smartest option is to update, repair or rebuild the course.
This can include content changes, broken triggers, navigation problems, visual updates, publishing issues and courses inherited from another developer.
03 Will we receive the editable Storyline source files?
Yes. Unless a project agreement states otherwise, the final handoff includes the editable Storyline source file and the published course package.
Your organization can maintain the course internally or return to us for future updates. You are not locked into using Hiveminds for every change.
04 Can Storyline courses be made accessible?
Storyline supports many accessibility features, but they must be considered throughout design and development rather than added at the end.
We can address keyboard navigation, focus order, alternative text, captions, visual states and other WCAG- and AODA-conscious requirements based on the needs of the project.
05 Can you publish and test the course for our LMS?
Yes. Storyline courses can be prepared as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 or xAPI packages depending on your learning management system and reporting requirements.
We can also help test completion, scoring, bookmarking and reporting behaviour after the course has been uploaded to your LMS.
