Making E-Learning More Accessible for a Global Audience
In response to increasing demand for translated learning across our international membership, I identified an opportunity to extend the capabilities of the Articulate Storyline player. Using AI-assisted development, I wrote custom JavaScript code that transformed the built-in glossary feature into a synchronized transcript panel compatible with browser translation tools, enabling a multilingual learning experience at virtually no additional cost to the organization.
Impact
52% of evaluation respondents reported using the translation feature. Of those learners, 97% rated the quality of the translation as Good or Excellent.
Design Insight
Innovation doesn't always require new platforms or expensive software. By leveraging AI to explore, prototype, and implement practical solutions, existing tools can often be extended in ways that improve accessibility and the overall learner experience.
