What SharePoint 2010 platform do I need to upload an Articulate Storyline 2 project? Are any FREE which would work?
SharePoint Foundation 2010
SharePoint 2010 Server
SharePoint Online
SharePoint 2010 Designer
SharePoint 2010 LMS
...and have the ability to/include:
1. Track user activity; 2. Quiz engine; 3. Real-time data; 4. Content level permissions; 5. Deploy on-line training (externally by internet - not intranet) for X amount of users; 6. Cost-effective; 7. Records management; and 8. Filtering.
Hopefully some users experienced in Sharepoint will be able to chime in and assist you here on best practices and use. I wanted to share a couple of threads with you, here and here, that may be helpful as well.
What is difficult for me to understand in the community discussions is that some mention SharePoint, some mention SharePoint Online, some mention SharePoint Designer, some mention SharePoint Server, etc. So I do not understand and confused which is the one used to do the above I requested?
I understand Michelle, and I'm not expert with Sharepoint either to be able to assist.
Here is what we have on file:
You should be able to host Articulate content in SharePoint Server. However, it won't work with SharePoint Online (the Microsoft Office 365 Hosted Edition), since it doesn't support HTML files.
If you're using SharePoint Server, check with your SharePoint administrator for instructions on how to upload HTML content. Depending on your version of SharePoint, you may need to switch to an "explorer view" before uploading content, or you may need to "check in" content after uploading. Your administrator will know for sure.
If you need to track learners' progress and results, publish your Articulate content for LMS (SCORM) and use SharePoint's free Learning Kit: http://slk.codeplex.com/
Perhaps your Sharepoint administrator will be able to assist as well.
Hi Michelle! I think Sharepoint is considered an intranet. You should be able to publish to the web and upload to the server. I know some users have mentioned issue as many look for a single file and Storyline does not work this way and is a collection of files.
A "server" that belongs to the company or a "server" which is considered to be like a 'cloud'?
With all the different types of SharePoint (i.e. Designer, Online, Server, Foundation), which is the one that would address the needs which I noted (e.g. tracking, quiz engine, records management, etc.) in this thread at the beginning?
I think you might find it useful and you do not even need to store your files on SharePoint. This comes in handy when a project is larger than the permitted storage on your server.

Hi Leslie,
Unfortunately I do not have an administrator. I am to develop and make it accessible to a group of learners (i.e. a client).
Is it possible to have it accessible to a company's intranet....not my own; but to the client's?

Thanks for your patience...
Courses can reside on either type of server.
After publishing, do any of the following:
After uploading your published content to a web server, give learners the URL for the story.html file.
If you don't have access to a web server, here are a few free options to consider:
Hopefully some users will be able to chime in and assist you with understanding the differences with your Sharepoint options and some best practices.
I recently built out this method to save variables to SharePoint 2010 from Articulate Storyline 2.

All the best,

Thanks Kevin for sharing here and including in a few other discussions!
No problem, my new functions make it so easy to turn your SharePoint into a free LMS. Just trying to get the work out. Kevin
