What sort of tracking is available in the iPad (player version) storyline output?
I don't know much about how it works (still new to eLearning) but our clients have suggested there are problems with having a 'course complete' page/button that would work with their bespoke LMS, does anyone know what I'd need to do to make it work/compatible with a bespoke system?
I'm having difficulty even getting access to it to provide details so sorry if I'm being vague :(
For LMS or Articulate Online tracking via the iPad, you'll want to use the HTML5 output. Currently, the Articulate Mobile Player is not able to authenticate a login for tracking purposes, but that's coming soon via Project Tin Can.
So, am I right in thinking that with Project Tin Can, I'd (eventually) be able to publish the unit under SCORM (new version? not 1.2?) and the iPad version/LMS version would work in the same way?
Thanks for the info so far, do you know when it's likely to be rolled out?
I saw a demo on the Tin Can API call last week. Looks to work GREAT.
You wouldn't publish to SCORM since Tin Can is a completely different protocol (similar roots, just different means of communicating). To make it work, though, your LMS would need to support the protocol. I don't think many LMS's are there yet.
HTML5 SCORM 1.2 and 2004 outputs are supported via the LMS on iPad through Safari mobile. The mobile player offers a far superior experience in most cases but the Storyline HTML5 output works pretty well for many features.
I saw a video on the tincan site and it likes pretty neat, that was just advertising rather than actually working but still cool if it works well
So, with that in mind, will there be an update for TinCan publishing in Storyline when it's available?
I've edited the post; after reading documentation about the client's LMS; they use a Java applet to provide communications between the content and LMS, so it wouldn't work on an iPad as currently Apple don't support Java applets... right?
So accordingly, I'll need to publish in AICC I think...
hi. I published my work for iPad. And I installed articulate mobile player on my iPad. But I think that this app doesn't work.. I can't see my contents. I couldn't understand. Thanks in advance.
Have you uploaded the file to a server somewhere to get a link?
You can use tempshare at; http://tempshare.articulate.com, after publishing the file, zip it and upload here to get a URL, then access the URL from your iPad. Provided you have the mobile player it should open fine
Thanks for the info. I am publishing with the HTML5 option and the course displays fine in my LMS (Saba) but the course isn't communicating with the LMS. Works fine from a PC, just stuck on iPad communication... Is there anything I should eb looking at in the XML?
I notice that a new version of the iPad app has just been released, which includes report for Tin Can/Articulate Online tracking. Does anyone from Articulate have any more detail about what this means and how we can use this functionality.
I'm desperate to track learners' progress through content with maximum mobility. Does the update mean I can use Articulate Online to track them when they're using the iPad app?
In short, yes, you'll be able to track Storyline content via the iPad app via Articulate Online, but not until we release an update to Storyline. More details here.
-- In the quiz options, select the option to allow user to retake quiz
-- in the individual quiz questions,in Story view, I changed the option FROM "restart quiz questions" TO "automatically decide". Resetting the individual questions was the problem for me.

Nope. iPad doesn't support Java Applets.

We'll share more soon.
Can we now use our SCORM compliant LMS to track progress from the Articulate Mobile Player?
@Jeremy: No, your LMS will need to support Tin Can (the next generation of SCORM) in order to track users' progress via the Articulate Mobile Player.
What can I do to get Storyline content to bookmark properly when using an iPad and a Saba lms (SCORM 1.2)??
Bookmarking works okay via PC laptop/desktops. Is there some tweak needed in Storyline pre/post publish?
Thanks for any help!
Are you publishing to HTML5 or using the Articulate Mobile Player (AMP)?
If using AMP, it doesn't support SCORM. Not technically possible. AICC might possibly be possible in some case but it's not been implemented.
Publishing/Testing to HTML5. iPad simply not getting thru to LMS. But on another thread there are some ideas to try (posted here: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/13406/127425.aspx#127425 -- and so I will try those tips. Fingers crossed.
What resolved my issue was:
-- In the quiz options, select the option to allow user to retake quiz
-- in the individual quiz questions,in Story view, I changed the option FROM "restart quiz questions" TO "automatically decide". Resetting the individual questions was the problem for me.
Thank you Karen. I will give it a try!
