Articulate Mobile Player (AMP) End Support?
Hi,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, I am just here to voice a major concern about the coming end of life of the AMP.
I am a multimedia developer for an E-learning firm based in Cana...
Greetings Gary:
Excellent summary. I've been working on alternatives for downloads and the best option so far is the BuddyBoss App which is scheduled to be released in a few weeks. This app allows any LMS LearnDash course to be accessed by the App and downloaded to the iPhone/Android phone for offline viewing. The specs on how this is accomplished should show up next week. The iPad version will follow, I suspect, in a few months.
I've had a group working on an IOS/Android tablet App that would download ".zipped" Storyline files and play them offline in a player similar to Articulate's Modern Player. Progress, however, is slow going. There are more than a few hurdles to overcome to make it user friendly for both the customer and the author. When I can assess its ultimate utility/practicality, I'll make a post here about it.
On the other hand, the Wordpress Theme (WPLMS) has an App that allows offline viewing (https://codecanyon.net/item/wplms-learning-management-system-app-for-education-elearning/20632362?_ga=2.192045602.948300804.1613000071-1698927496.1612371528). Last year that app didn't receive good reviews. The App apparently has been improved and seems like a reasonable alternative for anyone using the "Wordpress LMS."
Here's the link to the WPLMS App.

Another LMS with an App allowing offline viewing of courses is Masterstudy (https://themeforest.net/item/masterstudy-education-center-wordpress-theme/12170274). It, too, has an App that's "apparently" much improved over that past year. Should I ever decide to move to a new theme, I'll give Masterstudy a great deal of thought. It's very well laid out.
Unfortunately, the WPLMS and Masterstudy apps are, to the best of my knowledge, for phones, not tablets. The Apps have to be applied to your LMS by someone who knows App language and is familiar with Apple/Android App Submission (you can find these folks on www.Fiverr.com. I've used this service with success over the years). Buddyboss will be for tables shortly as stated above.
That's all I know, so far.
Best,
Rod
