Can you set-up a Resource (url) to open as a separate window?

Jul 16, 2021

Hello!  In SL360 is there a way to set-up that Resources (urls) open in a new browser window?  Currently, when a Learner opens a Resource: Url, it opens in the same browser window as their LMS.  After they review the url and want to return to the rest of the module, they hit the back-button and the LMS makes them log back in.  So, is there a way to  set-up a Resource that will open as a separate browser window?  Of another work-around?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Sylvia. 

There isn't a setting in Storyline to force a resource link to open in a new window, as all those options are browser and LMS-specific. 

I recommend testing your course with SCORM Cloud with a few different browsers. Check out this step-by-step article!

You can then contact your LMS to see if there are settings you can change on their end to open links in new windows. 

Let me know if this works!
