Note-taking in Storyline

Hi Jamie, even I am looking for something like this.  Would love to hear some options

I read a post on this forum that this is possible through variables and javascript (sending it through email). I don't know if it's possible to send it to evernote thought. 

BTW all variables are persistant through the course unless you change it. While it still be there if someone closes the course and resumes it? I'm not sure. I'll have to test it out. I think if you resume it the information should still be there, but if they decide to start all over, it may reset the value of the variable.

You could present another option to your client. Instead of building this note taking into the course, why not have it outside the course. The user can press a button that can launch an external window (popup) where they can take notes. This will give them the freedom to move it around the screen a lot better then just moving it around the course. I think this method will be much easier to integrate into 3rd Party apps like evernote and then they can save the file and open it up later on.

Elearning Enhanced sells a widget that does this. https://elearningenhanced.com/products/printable-user-slide-notes. Not entirely sure if this is just for Studio or if it works with Storyline too. 

Thanks Holly - this looks like exactly what my client is looking for! I've contacted them to ask if it works with Storyline as well.

Jerson, I like your idea better than having a notes window within Storyline. Gives the user plenty of flexibility!

Have you come up with any ideas how to do this?

Judith - I have a basic understanding of the coding involved, but it's going to take somebody with a lot more javascript and possibly php understanding to put it all together. I've already asked a friend for some info on this and see if he can help build it.

Thanks, Jerson, I look forward to seeing how that would work!

I have a couple of my own ideas, so I'll experiment in the meantime.

Jamie,

Please be sure to let us know if the Elearning Enhanced widget works with Storyline. I'm also looking to allow learners to take notes in a learning log (lightbox) and email themselves the content. I'm not doing so great with javascript.

I'm still learning SL, but could this be done using a Survey? With the ability to return to the survey?

Could be published to LMS...?

I would love to hear how it might work. I have seen this being done in an elearning course before and have been looking for a solution to use in Storyline.
