Building in homework assignments!
We are working on a phone skills course... we would like to have one of the assignments be to create a phone script customized to the company (Just as we do in the live workshop).
Has anyone been able to build in anything in Storyline 360 that would make the participants submit a homework assignment (in our case a script) before moving on in the course. Of course, as you can well imagine, it can't be just anything, it would need to meet the specs required for a proper script. How might this be done? The one way I thought of is having the participant submit their assignment via email to the instructor... the instructor reviewing it... and if it meets the criteria, then giving the participant a code to enter into the course to continue.
I'm looking for something that wouldn't require the instructor to have to be involved at this point. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The code is probably the best option (unless the users will share the code).
You could use an essay question but it is probably better for them to compose it elsewhere.
You could consider combining this with functionality in your LMS - We did this recently with an assignment plus an upload to the LMS.
- The learners viewed the assignment instructions
- Then they did the assignment in real life
- Once completed they uploaded a report file to the LMS
- Then the instructor reviewed the file and approved/graded the assignment
- This allowed the learner to move on to the next assignment
This seems to be a glaring gap in functionality of the Articulate Platform
i'm really surprised - i love the presentation, the useability in creating the courses, the activites...but i need neeed neeed uploadable assignment capability
Is it anywhere in the 360 suite?
The first to respond will receive the most cosmic reward energy :)
You could build an uploader. Or use a JS library like filepond. The question is where does the file go. LMSs and the Scorm model are not set up to accept uploaded files which is why a lot also have assignment submission blocks/modules.

Cloudinary works fine...as Google Firebase/firestore can handle it.
