I have a client who often delivers training in facilities with no Wi-Fi access, and they would like their courses loaded onto tablets for delivery during training sessions.
These courses are not dependent on an LMS, since they are not being scored or tracked.
I cannot get the mobile player app to work on my iPad, and it appears that the support is going away at the end of 2020 anyway, so I'm trying to find out if there's a way to load the course file directly onto a tablet in HTML5 and simply open it in a mobile browser.
If you publish your Storyline project to the web, you will end up with all the necessary files in a folder in a directory on your local computer. If that folder is copied to your local device (whether that be a laptop or tablet) and the story_html5 file is run, then your project should open in a web browser.
The only rider I would add to this is that I am solely a PC user and so have never tried out Storyline on any Apple devices. The following Articulate community post may help:
Update: I've tried a number of ways to get my iPad's browser (Safari) to open a saved HTML5 file, but there seems to be a firewall between Safari and the files folder on the iPad.

Thank you. I’ll give that a try and follow up here with results.

Still tinkering.
