Print Current Page and Print Course

Jul 11, 2012

Hi everyone,

I'm evaluating Storyline to see if it would be a good tool to include in our elearning toolbox. In our existing courseware, we have a Print Page feature and a Print Course feature. Is it possible to do this in Storyline? I've read a couple of posts and it looks like there may be a problem doing this in a flash-based course. Is that true?

If we bought Storyline, I'm not sure what our workflow would be. For printing the course I was thinking we could probably export the PowerPoint storyboard to Word and then link to the document but I'd rather be able to print/export from the finished product. Too bad Storyline doesn't have an export to Word (or PowerPoint) feature. I'm not sure how to handle the Print Page feature.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Kris

I've seen this solution in several posts, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I have a results page that has a print certificate button that jumps to a completion certificate. On the certificate page, I have a trigger to execute the JavaScript window.print(); when the timeline on the certificate begins. When I try this in HTML it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,

We are interested in this widget but the website appears to be down.

Is this still available?

Thanks

Hi all, sorry for the silence. eLearning Enhanced joined the ElearningBrothers team. There were some issues during the site transfer.

The good news is that they will have a new version of the SL2 Print Slide Widget available soon.

Thanks for your reply James,

Will the current version work in SL2?

Thanks

Hi,

We were able to get the widget and for anyone else who is interested in it, we can confirm it works in Storyline 2.

Thanks

Thank you this was very helpful. Do you know if Articulate intends to put a Print feature in a future?

Hi Elisa,

There is a print functionality on the results slide of a course, but we don't have any other print functionality right now. You're welcome to share your thoughts about other features you'd like to see by submitting to our product developers here.

Hi James,

Just an FYI that the URL at the bottom of your post doesn't seem to go anywhere? Not sure if it's a part of your signature or similar, but you may want to look at editing the post to remove that information.
