iPad App

I think you might have forgotten to check iPad compatibility before you publish your course, see below. Then download Articulate Player from appstore to play your course. Hope this helps.

You need to send a link via email or on a website (visit articulate online in iPad browser) the course when clicked on will open in the iPad app

Thanks Phil - now I just need a link to a sample deck so that I can test drive the experience! Anyone have a sample they would like to show off to me?

iPad and paid content - I understand that Articulate Online has password controlled permissions to restrict content access so I can charge for it. How does the app ensure that only the customer with the correct permissions can see the deck?

Here is a link http://www.elearninglaboratory.com/index.php/portfolio/coffee-demo

not used AO but I believe you need to login to the browser which then opens the app, the app does not do authentication

Genius

I wanted to try your periodic table one too - but couldn't find it on the iPad

The version on my site is not iPad friendly, I thought the storyline showcase was, however I can publish to iPad if you want and send a link

Ah no, don't worry I had a look at it on the PC - I wanted to see what award winning executions looked like!

I really enjoyed it, would have adored it studying for my O-levels 30 years ago.

You're right, the coffee example was iPad optimised, and help me understand.

Just mildly surprised that the Articulate corporate example - Effective Meetings - isn't much more clearly signposted on the Articulate site.

Likewise no documentation talking about the iPad app and how it is intended to work.

It could be that I'm daft - but it was approximately 4 hours of wading through various sites and web searches before I could actually try it.

I also kept getting diverted by the fact that the Articulate.com product pages appear to have 4 header horizontal menus when trying to find out product information: it's netiher intuitive nor simple. It's just a pain.

Fingers crossed the UI we can generate through Storyline will improve on that

Why is the iPad app so cryptic as in a blank slate with no info on how to use it. It just sits there and I did publish for it. I thought the new update might help but still now clue on how to use it.

Hi Doug,

The way the iPad app will work, is that when you publish for the AMP and then access your course (either from within an LMS that supports Tin Can API or a link on a web server) it will open within the AMP and you'll be able to navigate through the course. When publishing to the AMP it doesn't automatically appear in your library, as the publish set up is not connected to your instance of the app. There are some additional tutorials here on how to use the Articulate Mobile Player.
