Offline Viewing On Ipad Using App

Nov 02, 2017

Hi Folks, I need your help!!!!!! 

I am trying to make things easier for showing prospective clients our work. Ideally I would like to be able show 1 course off line on a laptop, can this be done? (we do not have story-line on the laptop)

I have downloaded the app for the Ipad and published for offline viewing and this works to an extent. Unfortunately after every slide the i pad leaves the app and goes blank. Is there any reason for this?

Thanks Colin

Hi Colin. To view a published course offline, you may want to give these steps a try...

  1. Publish your course to a web server (Amazon S3 for instance). Then, open the link to this published course on your iPad.
  2. Navigate through the entire course, visiting every slide.
  3. You want to add this course to your home screen on your iPad. In the Safari browser, this button is accessed by clicking on the icon that looks like a box with an arrow pointing up from it, and then selecting the "Add to Home Screen" button.
  4. Click the option to "Add". This action should then take you to the home screen and show a new icon for your course.
  5. To see if this worked, just press the home button on your iPad and place the device into airplane mode. (Drag your finger up from the bottom of the screen and click on the little airplane icon. Swipe down to close).
  6. Click on the course icon on the home screen to open up the course.

You should now be able to navigate through everything, even though you are offline. You can use that icon on the home screen of your iPad to bring up the course, and it should work fine whether or not you're connected to WiFi.

Hope this helps!
