Introduction

Nuggets is a JavaScript library designed as a plug-in exclusively for Articulate Storyline 360. Its design philosophy is in line with what you'd expect from a plug-in: simplify development, work faster and add new features.

The name Nuggets comes from the jargon of digital training where a nuggets-learning is a small module that is eaten like a box of nuggets. You eat one, then two, then three, and you quickly lose track of time. In the end, you'll have spent more time than a long e-learning session lasting an hour and a half.

In English, a nugget is also a nugget.

The role of Nuggets in digital training

There are a lot of resources on the Internet around Storyline in terms of self-help, innovation, development and so on.

The downside is that all these resources come with a steep research and learning curve. This requires a lot of time that you probably don't have. Not to mention the possible problems and/or conflicts between this development, that idea and/or that JavaScript code. In the end, you end up with development that's too complex and difficult to maintain over the long term.

So we set about :

  • group all the functionalities in a single place;
  • synthesise the 'extra' code to make it light, fast and future-proof;
  • limit integration and development in Storyline to the bare essentials;
  • simplify the development of new features.

Nuggets offers

  • comfort for beginners and experienced developers alike,
  • help in formalising ideas for designers, and
  • integration support for integrators.
