Hi Jeff, thanks so much for posting this! I'm just starting to go through your tutorials and think it is wonderful that you've found an intersection between computer science and instructional design! I haven't heard that many people talking about it online. As I was first learning Storyline, I always thought of it as "Diet Coding", and now I'm moving onto the real deal with JavaScript, haha. I have animations I'm having trouble with in my ID portfolio project, so JavaScript gives me hope that I could do some customizations to fix them. :)

Glad you liked it. Yes, depending on what you are trying to do, JS will at least help go beyond the out of the box limitations. More to come on this so make sure you subscribe.

seems like a useful tool. Could this be used to determine if the synchrony effect is indeed impacting learning outcomes?

[@LearningDojo]

Great question, if you track it with xAPI statements I’m sure you could measure impact. The key is knowing at what point do you track the behavior that happened and send that to the LRS.
