Convert Lectora content to Storyline

Hi Jan,

While you can import PPT into Lectora, the features and functions are quite different. Triggers in Storyline are similar to Actions in Lectora and both are proprietary coding to each platform.

One major difference is Lectora doesn't have a "player" so much as it has pre-built templates that have all the built-in navigational elements (next button, menu, etc.).

There is no way to "convert" .awt (Lectora) source file to a .story (Storlyine) file. If your Lectora project was first laid out in PPT and then imported into Lectora, you could use that same PPT and import into Storyline. However, any additional functionality you developed in Lectora will have to be rebuilt with similar functionality in Storyline.

Good luck.

If all 14 of your courses are using the same look/feel you could set up a template using Master Slides in Storyline to ensure consistency. Then if you have the source content of the original courses, you could use those documents and develop some sort of assembly line process with your team.

Unfortunately, with no conversion option you're faced with rebuilds.

Thanks, Kevin.  I figured it couldn't be done, but we have 14 courses in Lectora that we want to put in Storyline, so it was worth checking!

Hello, I noticed this thread is 10 years old. I was wondering if now we can convert Lectora files to Storyline, or is the answer still no?

Thanks in advance.

Hello All.

I think I have a question along the same vein. I am being asked to use a certificate created in Lectora and incorporate it into a course designed using Articulate to denote a learner's completion of the course.

Is this action possible at all or would the course creator have to use the certificate function in Articulate to create a course completion certificate?

You could probably isolate the certificate page in Lectora and publish it to the web. Then import it as a "Web Object" in Storyline. The tricky part is how to display the current date, as it won't be displayed initially (Lectora uses its own action to do that). I would use this script placed inside the pagexx.html before it is imported into Storyline.

<script>
  function getCurrentDate() {
  const today = new Date();
  const month = today.getMonth() + 1; 
  const day = today.getDate();
  const year = today.getFullYear();
  return `${month}/${day}/${year}`;
  }
  const dateSpan = document.querySelector('.text59Font1'); // text59 will be different in your file
  dateSpan.textContent = getCurrentDate();
 </script>

EDITED:  You can actually only reference VAR(CurrentDate) variable in Lectora where the Date text is. No need to add additional script above. And delete "Set Data" action.
