I am embedding a link in my project to a cloud hosted PDF flipbook. I would like to know how to hide the web address so users can't copy and paste it and share it outside of the company's LMS. Thank you!
I guess it depends on how badly you want to restrict it. If it is your pdf, load it to the LMS, and link to it there. The LMS can prevent unauthorized users from accessing either the project or the pdf.
If it's not yours, I'm not sure how you can both access it from the cloud and limit access to it.
Yes, that's what I will do. I wanted to load it in the flipbook format though, not a normal PDF. It is our owned content. I have Active Presenter, which allows me to embed the flipbook as a web object. The flipbook can be viewed in the SCORM project in the LMS without a link displaying. When I tried to do that same process in Storyline, the link to the web object (the filpbook) displayed.
I've uploaded two images. I used an inserted web object in both instances to direct users to the flipbook, which is hosted on FlipBuilder's cloud. Both modules open in a new window. The module made in Active Presenter does not show the original link to the FlipBuilder site. The module created in Storyline does. Both projects were exported as SCORM files and added to our LMS, Braineir.
