Notepad Functionality

I've been studying up on the javascript. This is possilbe. Javascript can append to a document by adding additional elments to a page. I'm not a pro..(yet) in javascript, but from what I do know, you can create a new document and give it a "name". Then you can target that document and append it and add additional text. I just don't know if storyline will allow it. I've had issues with certain javascript not working in storyline because the internet browser considers it unsafe, even though I am just asking for something simple, like open a new window of a webpage. Also I'm not sure where this new page will be created. It will most likely reside on the server and since you would most likely want to keep it secure and not make any permenant changes, it will probably require PHP to do the heavy lifting.

Look at this blog post for a way to leverage an essay quiz question for notetaking.

This post discusses making a learning journal that carries over from slide to slide.

• "But the icing on the cake is the “Learning Journal” tucked away on a button in the upper left corner. It’s a place where you can write and print your own notes about each section. Genius! Cleverly constructed with a multilayer lightbox slide, it features several text entry fields to capture your thoughts in one neat and tidy place."

Here is the demo of the lightbox journal story. http://articulate.demos.s3.amazonaws.com/avoiding_meeting_missteps/story.html

Wow, cool.

Thank you both for your interest and comments.

I'll look into both and let you know what comes of it.
