I am planning to create online courses for Udemy and need advice and sharing of your experience on whether Articulate Storyline 2 is enough to create the online course to be compatible for upload to Udemy or I also need Articulate Replay or any other software required.
Thanks and look forward to hear from our community to help me decide my purchase.
I'm afraid you will have to use a different process to create Udemy courses. Replay may come in handy, but Storyline won't, unless you're creating a course about Storyline. That's because Udemy content comprises mostly of video lessons, mainly to preserve cross platform playability.
Your best bet is to use an application such as Camtasia and/or Replay.
Thanks Alex and Phil for your advice. Will check out Camtasia.
For Replay, is there any other software to create the content for Udemy?
Another question, can Storyline 2 publish the elearning content into "video" format where it can be embedded onto the website as well as make it available on CD where learner can view (without interaction).
I would recommend Camtasia as well. I developed some videos for a client last year for the Udemy courses, and Camtasia was what I used.
We used Storyline 1 as well, but that was to create supplemental materials for the users to access (kind of like a bonus or add on to the course) - it wouldn't have been particularly useful for Udemy development, as it's more of a video-based approach.
The supplemental materials (created in Storyline) were hosted by the client's LMS, and here is a link to an example - we created a glossary of primary functions within the software (the udemy courses were designed to teach the users how to use the software):
I use Camtasia also for my Udemy courses. You can record software actions with it or you can narrate your PowerPoint while recording. I have not tried using Articulate yet but it seems to me you would have to host it externally since you need to upload all those files. I have uploaded PDFs to Udemy as supplementary resources but it appears that you can only upload one file at a time which will not work with an Articulate Flash-based course. You would only need an LMS if you want to keep track of how/who is using the external resources which would mean you students have to use two log-ins, seems complicated!
Here is my first Udemy course: Photoshop for Instructional Designers (free course)
Thanks Raul for sharing your Udemy's course and I will get the Camtasia for
the recording.
Happy New Year 2015 everyone and may your year be filled with breakthroughs!
You can just login and see that it is a fully-interactive Storyline course. The question is for me not whether it can be done or not (since it's already done) but how did they do it, how did they post it to Udemy and made it work. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Camtasia gives you more options but you could probably pull this off using replay

Thanks Ashley, may I know example of supplemental materials you created and does it need to be hosted on an LMS?

Camtasia really is the best tool for that type of training. The first time you need to make an edit you'll appreciate why.
ORA Prep has already posted a great Articulate Storyline course to Udemy:
