Publishing from Storyline 2 & Hosting on D2L
Dec 16, 2015
Hi,
I'm new to Storyline, and Articulate in general, and have so far figured out how to publish my projects to Articulate Online. I also managed to publish to the Web, email myself the zip file, and view the project that way. However, I'd like to learn how to publish in a format that is uploadable to D2L (Desire to Learn), our university's LMS. So far, I haven't had much luck finding someone from our school to help with this since our IT department doesn't support Articulate.
I don't necessarily need to have reports of student progress. I just want them to be able to access and use the content.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this!

Hi Jenny,
When you publish to LMS are you unable to upload the SCORM output to your LMS? Have you already tried uploading the Web published output as well? Based on this older thread it seems that D2L supports SCORM 2004.
Hi, Jennifer -- Thanks so much for reaching out with your question! Please take a look at this information on How to Publish for LMS in SL2, and let us know if that is what you were looking for or if you still need help. :)
Hi Ashley & Christie,
Thank you both for your prompt replies! I took Ashley's recommendation and published for an LMS, choosing SCORM 2004. I then followed the step in "How to Publish for LMS in SL2" when it says to upload the zipped folder onto the LMS. I see now that the zipped folder is on the content page of my D2L site. I'm able to then view the site as a student, but I think the only way to see the Storyline project is to download the entire zipped folder, extract the files, and then run the story.html file. Is there a way that students can just click on one link or file name and actually view the content within D2L? Another department has used Articulate with D2L in the past, and they showed me a project that did open and play within D2L. I've contacted them and am sure they'll be helpful, but they're out of the office until after the holidays.
Thanks!

Hi, Jennifer -- Perhaps you would want to consider the possibility of using the option to publish for Web? As described in that article, "If you need to give learners access to a standalone course via the Internet or an intranet, and if you don't need to track their progress, then web publishing is for you." Please let us know if you think that choice will work for your students!
Hi,
I am not sure if anyone is following this convo anymore. I too am trying to upload a Storyline project to D2L....tried the steps here and some other experimentation. Still not working for me. Any other ideas for how to get this to work?
Thanks!

Hello Corinne - Sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with this and you are correct, this thread is a bit dated. Are you able to successfully upload to SCORM Cloud or is the issue only happening within D2L?
Hi Leslie,
I am not actually familiar with the software. If it works there it should to D2L? You recommend the free trial to test my content?
It seems I am able to upload a link to D2L but no content will show, even after a download. Although would prefer they click the link I upload and are taken directly to the presentation. Any thoughts around that information, unfortunately I am somewhat new to Storyline 2?
Thank you,
Corinne
Hi Corinne,
SCORM Cloud is a free industry standard for LMS testing, so it's where we do the majority of our LMS testing and if it works there, it should work in your LMS too. Or at the very least give your LMS admins a bit more information about why it's not working at D2L.
Now to double check a few things just since you mentioned being new to Storyline...
Let us know if you're still having difficulty after checking out those suggestions!
Hi Corinne,
Were you able to get the content to show, I found publishing it and using the HTML5 link, that shows my content. Also in my browser settings you need to have checked the Flash default to allow for this site, otherwise it doesn't work.
Im now stuck on trying to embed my Storyline, SWF in the templates in Brightspace.
Thank you,
Saira
Hi Saira,
I'm not sure if Corinne is still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly! Keep in mind that if you're using SWF files with Storyline, those won't work in your HTML5 output.
Best of luck with your project and please let me know if you need anything else!
Hello D2L Users,
Publish your course for LMS - (I use SCORM 2004) and create a ZIPPED package.
The course will now be displayed in the Content area as a link. D2L automatically determines the appropriate launch link during the import/extraction process.
If your course is being scored using a quiz, a grade item will automatically be created. If you are tracking by the number of slides viewed, you can review tracking details using Content > Related Tools > View Reports > [Legacy SCORM Reports] or [SCORM Reports] depending on SCORM settings setup for your organization. Tracking details are available here if you are using a scored quiz as well.
Hope this information helps!

Hello,
Sorry for my delayed response. Thank you for all your support! I was successful in working with our IT person in getting my project into D2L.
Next obstacle is edX and determining if SL2 (and SL3) is compatible. If so we might look at a SL3 purchase and also at using SL2 in edX. I inquired about this elsewhere on here and I think the general thought was that it may not be at this time.....not sure if anyone here can confirm?
Thanks and thank you all again for you response to my last inquiry!
Corinne
Thanks Lori for sharing!
Corrine, I'm not incredibly familiar with edX, but a quick search I didn't see a way to upload courses there. If the support SCORM, AICC or Tin Can API - then Storyline 2 and Storyline 3 could be used for publishing and uploading there (Also, Rise, Studio, etc. all have those publishing options).
Keep us posted if you get a definitive answer - and if you're able to check with edX that'd be my next recommendation!

You are my new, most favorite, "Lori" in the whole world! I don't have it exactly where it needs to be in the course, but I got it uploaded and working. I NEVER would have figured it out and I only work weekends for this particular project! Thank you!
