Does anyone know how to upload a Storyline 2 course onto Confluence? Looking for some guidance on which publishing option I should use, then which files to upload onto Confluence. I don't need to track attendance or completions. Any ideas? Thanks! - Tina
I'm not familiar with Confluence - and didn't find anything in a quick Google search. Is it a web hosting platform or a Learning Management System (LMS)?
If it's a web hosting platform, look at publishing to web and then you'll upload the entire contents of the published folder to the site. You'll then be able to point learners to the story.html link.
If it's an LMS, even if you won't be tracking content, you may want to look at what LMS output types it supports and choose that in the publish to LMS window.
Confluence is a web driven, content collaboration tool. It allows people to create pages and share those pages as a resource. Let me continue to work on it. I thought maybe someone else out there may have experienced the same issue or has done this. Thanks!
Good news is I'm still alive! :) Bad news is I didn't make any progress with uploading a course to Confluence. My project I was working on needed to be done that day and didn't have time to investigate further. This is definitely something I need to figure out because I'm having more employees accessing training outside of the LMS, which they don't have access to.
Thanks for updating us on your progress, Tina! So far I I have not had success, but I am playing around with an HTML macro in Confluence, as well as a media macro.
We are essentially in the same boat as you, Tina. We can attach a zipped SCORM file to the Confluence page, but customers (users) get confused with downloading and unzipping the file.
Just wondering the same thing. Has anyone tried any of the addons for Confluence? I've looked at Wyzed, but I'm waiting on an answer around whether it accepts SCORM 1.2
Hey everyone, I have some good news to share... (I hope!)
We recently created a native app for Confluence that allows you to upload eLearning courses (in SCORM format) into Confluence, deliver/distribute and track user progress/completion. Here's a quick video with an example course I created from Storyline:
(Disclaimer: My team at ServiceRocket, a Top Vendor in Atlassian ecosystem, built this. If you need a personal demo or want to help expand on this idea, I'm available at https://calendly.com/azwandi/30min).
So far we have tried SCORM Learning for Confluence (referenced above) but it was incompatible with our security settings (specifically, the need to allow a connection between Confluence and ServiceRocket's learning site).
We have also tried "Smart Attachments for Confluence" in which we attempted to attach a file that had been published for Web, and then use the HTML5 link to launch the training. This also did not work for my team.
I've booked a demo in for the one mentioned above, hopefully our security settings will allow.
The other option I'm thinking is to take some Amazon space to host the files and surface through a link in Confluence, but obviously this would lose the course tracking/assessments.
There are no native support for SCORM packages at Confluence.
However, SCORM is only API allowing to track course progress or other data coming from your course. You can still put e-learning on confluence.
If you don't need to track progress of the course, you can simply publish course as web project, upload whole folder to your server, and then put <iframe> with src attribute pointing to story_html5.html of your course. It will play normally, allowing users to go through the course.
And if you have some programmer onboard, you can just pass storyline variables through javascript to confluence database and then view it as you want. It's not something hard. One of my clients didn't have LMS and didn't want one, but they wanted to track course score, so I've made an simple javascript+php and collected data to the .csv file on server.
Thanks for your reply! It sounds like you have uncovered a solution to my team's problem.
So you don't attach the published files to an individual Confluence page, or use some other add-on--you upload the published content directly to the server?
But on the individual Confluence page where users will access the e-Learning, we would post a link that looks something like this, except displaying a file pathway as opposed to a URL?
"So you don't attach the published files to an individual Confluence page, or use some other add-on--you upload the published content directly to the server?"
You just put normal URL. AFAIK iframe won't understand normal server path. You can of course put the files on server where does your confluence reside, then URL would be something like "https://www.yourdomain.com/confluence/course1/story_html5.html". It should also eliminate problem with security issues, as you run iframe from the domain you have your confluence on. If you have some cloud-based confluence, you can put it on any server and then just give link.
I strongly advise using html5 output, as the course published this way is simply very complex www site. Which you can view through iframe. Of course flash also can be viewed through iframe, just use story.html if you have flash-published course.
Thank you so much, Mateusz! I haven't been able to test this yet, as my team has never loaded content to the server directly, but the gears are in motion to try it out. I will update with my results.
I'm neither a Storyline nor Confluence expert, so I'm having trouble understanding the directions above. I am documenting software using Confluence and an interactive labeled project would be ideal for explaining the various fields on a report. I will be creating several pages and hope to use some kind of interactivity to help make the pages more interesting and helpful. Can/How can I accomplish this?
Hello, I can uploaded the zipped web content from Storyline, but it displays on Confluence as a zipped folder. How can I unzip it to reference the html file? Thanks!

Hey, Tina. Great question!
I agree with Ashley: To publish your Storyline 2 project to Web and then try to upload it to Atlassian Confluence as web content.
Keep us posted on your progress, and I hope some community members can weigh in with their experience!
Hi Tina,
I was wondering whether you had any success with this. My team is attempting to accomplish the same thing now!
Thanks!
Hi Jeff,
I'm not sure if Tina is still subscribed here, but I hope she has an update to provide to you and the community.
You are certainly welcome to reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

That would be yes.

You can see how I used iframe basically on my website as part of my company portfolio:

Has anyone had success in finding a Confluence Plugin that will host web published files?
