Web Hosting Suggestions for eLearning Content

I currently use DropBox and that works really well for me. Others use Amazon.

There is a Wordpress plugin that lets you posts your storyline files. I've used it before, it works very well.

For some reason, DropBox doesn't work for me. I think I am not doing it right. Can you please share with me how you load courses using dropbox?

Thanks

Thanks Tim!  I also use Dropbox but I need a web server (CMS) to not only host the content within but to link to and playback the content - I don't see that Dropbox can do this; not even with the content sitting in the Public folder.  Once I click on the e.g. quiz.html or launcher.html or player.html, nothing happens - the playback doesn't work.  I am on Office 365 with a SharePoint site and used to host content via SharePoint (where I used to work) but can't do this now with my SharePoint site and think I need to have a proper web hosting solution.  Are you using Dropbox to literally link to and play back content created with Articulate or Adobe Captivate / Presenter, etc.?  Thanks!  Cheers, Jason

Thank you Jerson - is this a plugin that is added to a WordPress site if the WordPress site is hosted elsewhere e.g. outside of WordPress.org where my http://jasonhpeterson.com site is hosted?  If so, I assume this suggestion won't be a solution for me since I can't access the /wp-content/plugins/ directory?  Thanks!  Cheers, Jason

You don't have to access your plugins directory directly. You can upload it using your dashboard.. Just go to the plugins section and do a search for the articulate plugin, install, and activate.

Jason,

I have used UnitedHosting as my webhost for the last 10 years. I have a dedicated server with them on which I host about 45 websites. Most of these are CMS types (Joomla); some of them are for my e-learning clients and applications. Their servers are very reliable, and the support is the best there is. I can usually get a response to a problem in less than 5 minutes when I have to. (I very rarely need to contact support since everything works like it should.)

I have no vested interest in UH, just a very satisfied client.

Thanks again Jerson, I don't see Plugins at all from my site and just figured out why; my site is not self-hosted using WordPress.org software.  My site is hosted via WordPress.com and plugins are not permitted for various security reasons.  I found the following (see pasted content below as well as the inserted image) from http://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=plugins  I would rather not self-host my WordPress site - I am not that techy'ish.  Thanks anyhow and wishing you a pleasant Sunday.  Cheers, Jason

• Plugins  Plugins are tools used to extend the functionality of the WordPress platform. However, they are only applicable to self-hosted blogs and web sites using the WordPress.org software. Plugins are not permitted here at WordPress.com for various security reasons.

Thank you Russ!!!  Sure wish I already had your experience and knowledge managing such sites and content on virtually managed servers  I have never had to host my content on my own in a CMS; thanks for the reference to Joomla as well.  Cheers, Jason

VERY COOL RUSS!!!  I just learned about what I can do (very easily) with Jooma! and CloudAccess.net - brilliant!!!  Danke schön
