Insert / upload image

Jessie,

Others may know about some capability within Storyline where you can have learners upload images. However, I do not. In the meantime, if I wanted to provide the learner the ability to practice uploading images, the first way I could think of to do this is as follows:

1. Create a slide with a hyperlink that says "Click here to upload an image." 
2. The hyperlink would open a SharePoint or shared folder within the network (that everyone who is taking the course has writable access to). 
3. The learner would need to upload an image with a particular naming convention like (Bryant_Patti_Image). 

I hope this helps and look forward to seeing suggestions from others. 

Keepin' the joy,

Patti Bryant

Hey Jessie and Patti,

I wasn't sure what the question one. I like your idea. I'm wondering if in addition video recording within SL could be used. And there could be options to view it, do step-by-step, and then on your own, as you suggest'

Hi Rebecca, this is the situation Would like the kids to upload their picture in the box provided.

Hi Patti, thanks for the steps. 

What is the action chosen for the trigger hyperlink? Is it JUMP to URL/FILE?

What happens if the images are located in their own PCs? Is there any other instruction for that?

Hi Jessie and Patti,

Patti, tx for the clarification. I see now.

Regarding the images on their PCs, the hyperlink idea would be the same, except you'd point to the local hard drive.

I have a question, though. I just tested this by jumping to URL/File, but the photo isn't uploaded; instead, the photo opens in a separate browser window. So I, too, would like to know how you can get the photo into SL.

Hi all,

Right now there isn't a feature within Storyline that would allow learners to load their own picture and have it appear within the course. That's a really interesting idea though! It would make a great feature request. 

Done

Was this feature solved for?

Hey there, Jazmin.  Uploading an image as a learner taking the course is not a feature in Storyline.  But you're welcome to add your voice in a feature request!

Hi. Any news on this? 

Hi Jacob! Thanks for checking in. It sounds like you're interested in a feature that would allow learners to upload an image while taking your course. This isn't a feature in Storyline 360, but we'll add your vote to the feature request!

I would like that feature too!!!

I would like this too

Thank you for your vote, Graham! 

Although this currently isn't a feature in Storyline, I've documented the request for this capability with the right folks. If there's any forward movement, we'll share the news here!

This is also something we're currently looking into for a project at my company. Please add my vote to the list for this feature! :) 

Ad my vote too.  We are working with online learning and offline workshops. I would like to let the laerner upload there offline work to the e-learning.

Hi Articulate team, any update on this? indeed this feature will add a bigger value to UX and I would like feature too

Hi Ali,

This just seems such a great idea for gamification of courses. I have come here looking for how to do this in Storyline as we are building a simulation and having generic photos or avatar illustrations is not really cutting it for a realistic simulation.

Thanks!

I agree with you Daniel. We're looking to use this feature for a road trip theme and have the learner upload selfies at a landmark. We'll have to fall back on plan b of using avatars. :(

Add my vote to this.  This would a huge benefit for my organization.  It literally just came up in a development meeting hence the reason i came here looking for a solution.  

I would like this too. It seems strange that Articulate would acknowledge it as a popular request but not have a plan to implement it into their software...maybe it is just way more difficult to build than I imagine.

Read the post from Ren again. It doesn't say it is a popular request, only that it has been around a long time. You're right, it would be very difficult to implement, and I don't they are going to get their undies in a knot over maybe 25 requests. It takes several hundred, maybe thousands to make the cut of affecting enough users to be worth creating. Sorry, it would be cool, but I think you need an ipad to do something like that. Even then, I see users creating projects from scratch (like a PowerPoint, maybe even with a template), rather than fitting an upload into a completed project.
