While you can import PPT into Lectora, the features and functions are quite different. Triggers in Storyline are similar to Actions in Lectora and both are proprietary coding to each platform.
One major difference is Lectora doesn't have a "player" so much as it has pre-built templates that have all the built-in navigational elements (next button, menu, etc.).
There is no way to "convert" .awt (Lectora) source file to a .story (Storlyine) file. If your Lectora project was first laid out in PPT and then imported into Lectora, you could use that same PPT and import into Storyline. However, any additional functionality you developed in Lectora will have to be rebuilt with similar functionality in Storyline.
If all 14 of your courses are using the same look/feel you could set up a template using Master Slides in Storyline to ensure consistency. Then if you have the source content of the original courses, you could use those documents and develop some sort of assembly line process with your team.
Unfortunately, with no conversion option you're faced with rebuilds.
It is still currently not possible to directly import Lectora content into a Storyline 360 project file. If you have the option to convert Lectora content to PowerPoint slides, you can then import these slides into Storyline 360. Here's how:

Good luck.
Thanks, Kevin. I figured it couldn't be done, but we have 14 courses in Lectora that we want to put in Storyline, so it was worth checking!

Hello, I noticed this thread is 10 years old. I was wondering if now we can convert Lectora files to Storyline, or is the answer still no?
Thanks in advance.
Hello Michele,
Thanks for reaching out!

Hope this helps!
Thank you, Joe. I didn't think there was a way, but I wanted to double-check to be certain.
With gratitude!
