I know we can create avatar roles by inserting a picture or image that we have predetermined into the course with Storyline 2. I want to allow students to upload an image of themselves and this would then appear throughout the course to represent them where they are required to interact or make a response to a situation.
Does anyone have any idea on how I would set this up or if it is possible?
Hi Elena. Thanks for reaching out! Storyline 2 doesn't allow learners to upload an image into a course at this time. It's a cool idea, and definitely worth sharing with our development team in a Feature Request.
As I'm sure you've considered, a possible workaround would be to have a few different avatars or images from which your learners could choose.
Random and not very thought through idea but could you add a weblink that takes them to a file upload page external to storyline and tell them what to call the file, then embed the weblink to the file of that name in future slides? I guess you would need a file upload that could have a constant address for each user - e.g a system that required login and could result in everyone having the same url for their picture?
See the attached story file for part of what you are looking for. Enter the full url to an image on the first slide and that image will be displayed on the second slide.
Any chance this type of functionality is available in SL 360? We want students to upload a picture of themselves which then gets added to a picture of a specific landmark (so it looks like a picture of the student actually at the landmark). The pictures of the landmarks will already be uploaded into Storyline. I guess this would be kind of like s Snap filter.

Hi, Sue.
Thank you for reaching out!
While not currently a feature in Storyline, we have a feature request logged to allow learners to upload an image while taking a course.
I will update this discussion if I have any news to share or if this request makes it to our feature roadmap.
