Build Guided Step-by-Step Topic Layouts Without Coding

Rise gives you a long page learners scroll past in seconds. Complex topics need to unfold in a guided sequence, but building a step-by-step guided layout in Storyline means slide after slide, each with its own navigation logic.

The Guided Topic generator lets you break a subject into ordered, focused sections learners advance through visually, then export a single HTML file and embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for concept introductions, multi-part explanations, and any topic that overwhelms learners as one block, so even your most complex subject feels approachable one step at a time.

How To Use the Generators


Each tool in the eLearningDesign.org ecosystem follows a streamlined, three-step workflow designed to keep you focused on instructional strategy while we handle the technical execution.

  1. Input Your Content: Open the Content tab to add your specific learning prompts, interactive options, and coaching feedback. This is where you build the logic and instructional heart of your activity.

  2. Customize Your Design: Switch to the Design tab to align the tool with your course aesthetic. You can manually adjust colors, typography, and layout structures to ensure a seamless visual fit.

  3. Generate and Embed: Go to the Generate tab to finalize your tool. Click "Copy Embed Code" for your authoring tool's HTML block, or "Download as HTML" for local hosting and offline use.

Common Use Cases

  • Policy Rollouts: Break a dense policy into guided steps learners move through in order, improving comprehension and retention.

  • Multi-Part Explanations: Sequence a complex process so each idea builds on the last instead of competing for attention on a single page.
