I have a fairly basic problem (well hope its basic). I have a few clients that would like to host their courses online but not use an LMS. For example I want to create an interactive video using Storyline (as opposed to a full course) but would like to play the interactive video off a website.They would like to play the courses in a player similar to how one would play a video in a player. How do I publish the course and then "host" the published file?
Next, you'll host the output file on a web server. If you don't already have a web server available to you, Amazon S3 is a great option. Lots of folks here in the community use that one. We've even got a video tutorial here to help you get up and running!
So, if a client has their own website, should I suggest to them to also purchase something like Amazon S3? Or should I ask them what website hosts do they use?
First, ask them if they have access to a web server. If not, you can suggest that they use Amazon S3. They'll want to host the published course on a web server (like Amazon S3) before they can link the course on their website.
Let me know if you have any more questions about that!
I am trying to host a rise file course using Amazon's S3. I have followed the tutorial mentioned above and have everything set up but I can't figure out what is the file to use in the folder to provide the url to kick the lesson of for learners.
I can figure out the file for storyline but not for a rise course.
I have hosted my Rise course using Amazon S3 and have the URL to share with my users. However, I noticed that it does not save the user's progress. Is there any option that will save the user's progress in the course without having a formal LMS system? Am I missing a setting in Amazon or is this the same as just using the share link directly from the Articulate site that also does not track progress?
Great question! To track learner progress, you'll need a Learning Management System. Hosting the course on the web doesn't include the same tracking behavior in the published output, so if you need to track learner progress, then you'll need to host your course in an LMS.

Hi there Nelson! I can help you with this. 😊
First, you'll want to publish Storyline for Web or publish Rise for No LMS--Web Only.
Next, you'll host the output file on a web server. If you don't already have a web server available to you, Amazon S3 is a great option. Lots of folks here in the community use that one. We've even got a video tutorial here to help you get up and running!
Hi Alyssa, Thanks for the information.

That's right, Carolina!

Hi Alann,
Thanks for reaching out! For a Rise 360 course, you'll share the link to the index.html file. This article provides the details!
