I was wondering if it were possible to embed an editable document as a web object in Storyline for students to enter information and then print out.
My idea was to post a PDF they could type in their class schedule and then print out.
Is that possible? If not, any suggestions on how to accomplish what I want to do. In the end I guess I can just link to the document in our LMS, but if it is apart of the SCORM package, then the student will be more apt to complete it.
That's a great idea... you might have to set up a JavaScript print button to actually print out a page, but, to create a class schedule, that shouldn't be too difficult. You'll just need data entry fields to input the information, and recall them in a format that you design on a second page. Then, with the JavaScript print button, you can print out that finished page.
I just made a quick data entry field for entering the class name and a class time menu. And displayed the info on the second slide with a print button. In order to see the print button in action, you'll have to publish the .story file and run it for it to work.
Jesse, you are a GENIUS! Thank you so much. This is perfect. It provides interactivity for the student, but also helps the student start to organize and realize when their classes are.
Yup, no problem. That menu style is something I've used on a lot of different projects and adding a true false variable is pretty slick when you want to recall the info on another page. Just goes to show how versatile Storyline is. Love Storyline.

Jesse,
That is really sweet. And I think your drop down menu implementation may have just answered another question I've been cogitating on.
Nice work!
Glad to help!
Jesse
