I need to create a storyline file in which i need to create links to 9 other published story line courses. That is, when the learner clicks Lesson 1, it should execute the lesson 1 published story line file in a new window, similarly when the learner clicks lesson 2, it should open lesson 2 in a new window and so on for 9 lessons.
Please let me know how I can do this. I am not familiar with Javascript. Is there any code that I can write to run lesson 1 when the user clicks on Lesson 1?
The most important question is your LMS let you get the direct links to SCORM. If yes, firstyl you'll embed your SCORM's to LSM and get the links. Then when you'll be creating a main course, you'll use the direct links to other SCORM's.
It looks like Kamil has you on the right track here, as there isn't a built in way to connect multiple Storyline files. The one thing you'll want to consider before connecting them as described, is how you want to handle tracking and what requirements your LMS has for tracking.
I have a similar kind of issue again and this is not for LMS but for the WEB.
I have a main course story files that has links to 9 lessons. Each of the 9 lessons when clicked should open in the same browser window as the main course. This is happening fine. The issue now is how do I get back to the main menu page when i close say Lesson 1. Is it possible to do this?
Currently, Storyline looks for the main course within the Lesson 1 folder which is not there, but is found in the root folder.
There isn't a built in way to link Storyline files, but if you've published them all on a web server and then are creating hyperlinks between them, you may want to include a link on each individual lesson for the "Menu lesson" so that they always have a way to get back to the starting screen.

Yes, these courses are published for LMS.

You may also want to look at enabling the browser controls for a hyperlink, and then allowing your users to utilize the back button.
Thank you Ashley. I will try this out and let you know.
