Advice for Posting Storyline Files to GitHub

Jan 28, 2015

Our university created 8 Storyline modules to help with information literacy instruction. The modules are imported as SCORM packages into our LMS by faculty.

We would like to make the Storyline files available open source for use by others and have considered posting them to GitHub. We have posted web based projects to GitHub and like the central space it offers to track changes and features that enable a community to collaborate on development. 

Has anyone else posted Storyline files to GitHub and if so, what have you posted, just the Storyline file and a brief description of what the file does? Or have you also posted additional material such as flow charts with variable names and what they do?

If there is a better option than GitHub that people have found useful in the sharing and collaborative development of Storyline files, we would like to hear that too.

I've never tried posting courses to github, but I would include the .story file, and the web Output files. That way users can download the original story file and edit it if they'd like, but also they can see the changes in the code between versions and branches in the web output.

I would include a list of variables and any notes on them in the README
