I got an inexpensive Kindle Fire thinking I could use it as testing device for screen reading. It seems like the Articulate App that I easily installed on my smart phone from Google Play is not available in the Amazon App Store. Wondering if anyone else has found it? I've been able to load google play on older Kindles but this one just won't let me crack into it.
The Articulate Mobile player is available in the Google Play Store for Android or the Apple App Store for iOS, so unfortunately it's not available in the Amazon App Store.
If you published for HTML5 and didn't include the AMP option, have you tried testing the course in a browser that's supported? Take a look at the options here for Storyline 2.
Oh, of course! If you're using Storyline 3, even less need to use the Articulate Mobile player we we redesigned our HTML5 output and creating a new responsive player! Take a look at the FAQs on that here and the system requirements for Storyline 3 here.
Maybe I should start this as a separate thread. My end goal is publish to LMS and use Blackboard to deliver the content to my students. It seems like everything is in place for this to work smoothly. I just haven't been able to test it myself to make sure all of the text is readable to viewers as they are looking at LMS Storyline 3 output coming through Blackboard.
We can keep it going here - let's just start from scratch! 😀
Have you asked your LMS admin if there is a particular publishing option to use (i.e. SCORM 1.2, 2004, Tin Can API, or AICC)? That'd be the first step!
If you're using Storyline 3 and publishing for LMS, you can include HTML5 and/or the Articulate Mobile player(AMP). The latter, AMP, will require that you use Tin Can API as an LMS publishing option and that your LMS supports it. These FAQs will help you determine when to publish Storyline 3 courses for Tin Can API (also known as Experience API or xAPI), how to publish, and where to host your published content.
If your LMS doesn't support Tin Can API, you may not be able to use the AMP anyway. So don't include that in the publishing options here. Choose the SCORM or AICC options, HTML5 (first, only or as a fallback to Flash), and then publish.
Once you've got that you'll be able to upload to your LMS or if you're not ready to upload and test at Blackboard, try it out at SCORM Cloud. It's a free standard for LMS testing. This article should help get you started!
Once the course is live on Blackboard or SCORM Cloud, you can use any of these browsers to test it out:
HTML5
Windows: Internet Explorer 10 or later, Microsoft Edge (latest version), Google Chrome (latest version), Firefox (latest version)
So, here's the next question as I move through. I have two courses that I am building. One was started in Storyline 3, the other was started in Storyline 2, but is now being finished in Storyline 3. I have published both to HMTL to share with my content development team.
The course that was built in Storyline 3 opens fine in the browser (of my Kindle Fire which has text to speech turned on) the course that was started in Storyline 2, but now published to html in SL3 comes up in the browser with a launch button looking for the Articulate app. Is there a feature somewhere that is defaulting to SL2?
that helps tremendously. Is there an article on here somewhere that helps in making the decision as to which choice is best for each situation? Here are my long term goals. I will be publishing to LMS for delivery via blackboard for the incoming students at my school. I then want to publish to html (with an unrestricted menu) as an ongoing and available resource for the full campus. I need to be Section 508/WCAG compliant as possible and I've been doing a lot of reading up on that and utilizing my on campus resources to support that. So I think I've done the best I can from the development stand point and now just need to make sure that my intentions survive the delivery aspect of the project.

Hi Rebecca,
The Articulate Mobile player is available in the Google Play Store for Android or the Apple App Store for iOS, so unfortunately it's not available in the Amazon App Store.

I'm actually working in Storyline 3 (I'm part of the SUNY project) , could you connect me to options for that version? thanks

Hello Rebecca - When publishing are you de-selecting the option for the publishing to Articulate Mobile Player?
I don't get it as an option box when I go to publish, this is what my screen looks like:
Hey Rebecca - I apologize! That confusion is certainly my fault. I meant to include the SL3 screen capture as well.
Let's see if I can redeem myself with a video here.

Hi Rebecca!
Sounds like you will need to publish 2 different versions of your course.
