Publishing to the web via iFrames

Aug 01, 2016

Hi,

I am working for a client who doesn't require tracking and would prefer for the e-learning to sit directly on their site. I have only ever worked with LMS publishing, and they have some questions that I am not 100% on.

I have published the courses to the web including the HTML5 option and have sent it to them via a zip folder. They have extracted this, which gives a number of files e.g. the flash, HTML5 etc. They are currently testing by pointing the iFrame to the HTML5 file, however they wanted to know how the detection would work.

Am I right in thinking that if they upload the whole of the zip file to their server and then point the iFrame to the .story file, it would show the HTML5 file on non Flash supporting products without them having to do anything else? If I am wrong, what would they need to do?

Also on a side note, with Flash being phased out by most browsers, would it be advisable to build within the limitations of HTML5 functionality to future proof e-learning or is there a work-around?

Thanks

Ed

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for getting back to me on this, so when I publish the story rather than using the zip option, I should just share the files directly without zipping? Would it not work in the same way if the file was unzipped the other end?

Thanks for the advice on Flash vs HTML5, definitely agree that it will help when it comes to bug fixing, and as you say, using flash when it makes sense to is preferable!
