Electronic Signatures

May 29, 2015

I have seen a few older posts, but I am wondering if anyone is aware of any progress regarding using electronic signatures. I would like to eliminate paper for our record keeping and assessments as all paper gets scanned and recorded electronically anyway.

I work for a construction company, am using Storyline 2 for content development, Oracle UPK as our platform and Tablets for training / assessment of our employees in the field. Classroom based training is not an option for me.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Ryan! Hopefully some community members will be able to chime in and assist you here. I haven't seen a lot of threads about this - but you may want to reach out in this thread where someone else was trying to do it recently as well, and this much older thread suggests using a web object.

We need to have student sign their name before they can commence a Storyline course. I think the only was is to create a Text Entry Question slide and include javascript so the user can upload an image to the textbox.

Using the technology http://jsfiddle.net/vacidesign/ja0tyj0f/ what steps would be used in Storyline?

There are various conversations but nothing that seems to accomplish this.

Hi Ryan,

I am trying to create an acknowledgment signature for employees to sign after they have read our manual. Something like "Click here (BOX) to acknowledge that you have read, understood, and will abide by the above policies."

Did you ever find an answer to your questions?

Thank you!

Any chance a text box where they enter their initials be sufficient? Hard to believe but digital signatures are not binding....

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your fast reply! This could be sufficient, as long as we could somehow link their email or their name to their response. (So we can keep track of who has completed reading the manual, etc.) Would this be a possibility?

Thank you,

Caroline

Hi Matthew,

Thanks very much for your input! Those look like great options. Do you think there is a free way to sign? Or what are your thoughts on how someone could select a box to confirm they have read the material?

Thank you,

Caroline
