What does it take to create a non-linear presentation or "choose your own adventure" story?
Whether you're creating a story, game, classroom activity, technical documentation, or anything with hierarchical information—understanding how to create an interactive experience that's tailored to your audience is a valuable asset.
Simplify the reader experience by only showing them the relevant sections of your document based on their selections.
In this short course, you learn how to
- Remove linear navigation (e.g., back and next buttons, page thumbnails, etc)
- Create custom navigation that forks in the path that your reader selects
- Set up your document to make your life as the designer easier
Short on time? No problem. This course will get you up and running quickly.
Your colleagues will think that you've suddenly learned how to code...that'll be our little secret. ;-)
This is the Basic version of the course, meaning it's just the videos.
If you want Exercise Files, Discussions, and Downloadable Transcripts; check out the Premium version of this course.
