considering purchase

Apr 28, 2016

I'm considering purchasing articulate storyline for our organization. I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.

1) can developed trainings be uploaded to another site that tracks our employees usage and completion of training?

2) can trainings be viewed offline? 

3) can trainings be developed offline? 

thank you in advance.

Hi Scott,

Good Questions! Courses developed in Storyline are SCORM compliant. This means that a published version can be placed on another site as long as that site accepts SCORM packages. Usually that other site is called a Learning Management System or LMS. The LMS can track usage and completion. The question you really want answered is, will your "other site" accept SCORM packages?

Storyline can be published to be viewed offline. However, unless the mobile device syncs with your "other site," offline course taking will not be recorded or tracked.  

Storyline should be installed locally on your machine. So you do not need a connection to develop. The user needs to be online only.

Cheers,

Julie

Hi, Scott -- I see that Julie has stopped in with some great advice and I thought I might pass along a few other resources in case you would like to take a look! 

Regarding the use of an LMS, here is some information on Publishing a Course for LMS and also some other options to share your content here. 

And if you are not using an LMS, you might want to consider these alternatives to track employee usage and completion.

If you'd prefer offline viewing, please check out this article. 

And yes, it is recommended that you work on your content locally as described here, and that will also help avoid a number of potential issues such as file corruption, an inability to save changes, and loss of resources.
