How do I know a course is being viewed in HTML5?
Feb 10, 2016
I currently work in Storyline 2.
Based on my understanding, it seems that even when I select HTML5 when publishing, my course will generally display in Flash - depending on the device/browser the user is accessing the course with. Ideally, I would like to test out how one of our courses works in HTML5 to see what will or won't work.
I've reviewed this chart. I am unsure where most of the interactive aspects in my courses fall on the chart.
We took an existing output and removed "story" and left in "story_html5". We loaded the course and it seemed to work fine. Does this mean it's displaying in HTML5?
Is there a way to know what I am viewing is being displayed in HTML5 or is there a place to put a course so it acts as if it's in HMTL5?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Kristine
you don't say if you are trying to view the html5 output in an LMS or on a webserver.
Below are two links to a course on my webserver - first one points to story.html and second one points to story_html5.html.
When you view the url in the browser you will see if it is html5

Hope that helps you
Hi Wendy
Thanks so much for the info, it is really helpful. Based on this, appears we aren't seeing our courses in HTML5. We viewing them through an LMS (custom).
Do you happen to know of a place I can upload a course to test it out as HTML5?
Thank you again!
Hi Kristine
try turning off flash in your browser then access and see if it forces the html5 to run. If not, I have a client that adjusts one of the published files to force it to run in html5 - let me know if you need that info.
FYI - Articulate won't support any changes made to published files.
Thank you for the tip Wendy! It didn't show in the bar if it was HTML5 - though I noticed on my courses I don't see .story either - but based on disabling Flash on Chrome, I could see a marked difference on the course, so I presume it was HTML5 I was seeing.
This was quite helpful, thank you again for your quick response and awesome tips!
Glad you got it sorted Kristine.
