"I am so thankful this course was created. Before going through this course, Storyline was a bit intimidating. I appreciate how different Storyline features were covered, and how we even had opportunities to practice using the practice file. Having been through the course, I now feel more comfortable creating projects independently."

-Angela Balmer
