Web Publishing and Mobile

Hi Marcia,

Thanks for reaching out here and great questions. In regards to using Tempshare, I did want to remind you it's only meant as a temporary/testing platform not a long term hosting solution as the courses will be removed after 10 days. 

If you're able to embed on their web page, you could include a link to that page and that'll allow users to access it on a PC or when opening on a tablet, if you've published for the mobile player app it'll open there. Once it's loaded into the mobile player, they only need to visit the mobile player app and then they'll be able to utilize the course from there. It's worth noting that the mobile player is specific to the iPad or Android tablets, so if they need to access on their phones you'll want to direct them to use one of the supported browsers mentioned here and access the link in the browser. 

Here is another great article on things to consider when publishing for mobile devices. 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I know Tempshare is temporary - I was using it for testing purposes to see how the content looks in the app. I'm a little confused by your comment "It's worth noting that the mobile player is specific to the iPad or Android tablets" as I was using the app on my Android phone last night, and it was working. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Hi Marcia, 

Sorry for the confusion - the mobile player app is designed for the iPad/Android tablet but as many similar apps it can still open/work on on the phones. So typically when needing to view content on the phone we recommend using the HTML5 output option. 

Hi again Ashley,

OK, I was planning on publishing for both HTML5 *and* the app. Would there be a reason to not do that?

Hi Marcia,

You should be good to go - as if you include both options, Storyline will determine which to show as described here.  

Awesome, that's what I thought. I'm going to test some options over the next 2-3 days and will be back in the forums if I encounter any issues. Thanks!
