Web Publishing to Onboarding Portal

Hello Lisa and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

So you have content that you do not want to upload to your LMS, but are uploading to share from a Dropbox?

With your description of getting the Next/Previous buttons alone, it sounds like you may be viewing the HTML5 content in an unsupported browser. You can check out our supported viewing environments here.

We typically advise to share the story.html file and allow the course to open in the correct type.

Storyline 2 lets you publish courses for Flash, HTML5, and the Articulate Mobile Player app. To distribute your published content, upload it to your web server or LMS, then link to the story.html file in the published output. Here’s how Storyline determines which version of your content to display when learners view it.

Thank you for your quick response!

We do not need to track views or completion of the content as our goal is just to have interactive information about each benefit. I was attempting to upload to share from DropBox based on some other discussions I saw on here, but do not know if that is the best option.

I guess I am not sure how/what to upload and which web server makes sense. Is DropBox a good option? I am using the latest version of Google Chrome. I am sure this is entirely user error but keep getting stuck on the upload step.

Is there a reason that you would not want this on your LMS then? I'm not sure why you would not load it there along with your other content. Typically something like dropbox is used if an LMS is not available.

Did you try to access the story.html link to see if that worked for you?

Unless you have the pro version of Dropbox, it has stopped supporting this sort of process.

Otherwise, you want to upload the entire file that SL creates when you publish. It's name will have the name of the course, followed by - storyline output. Everything in that file must be uploaded. Then instructs the users to access the story.html file with a browser.

We wanted this content to be viewable by new hires before they start as part of their onboarding process as an optional resource. 

These new employees are not accessing our LMS until their actual start date so I was looking for alternatives.

Gotcha Lisa - Well, you may want to consider the tips Walt is sharing above or check out our link here with information for Amazon S3, which may be helpful.
