Course length/total time
Hi-
Does storyline have any kind of feature that can determine the length/time of a complete course (i.e. viewing all the content, etc.)?
Forgive me if this is an old topic, but searching yielded no results.
Besides sitting through the whole thing, any hacks?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

If you click publish then beside the Title you will see a button with an ellipsis (...). Click the button. You can then see duration of the course. This is a rough approximation, some slides may take the learner longer or shorter to go through.
thanks!
Thanks Cary!
That's exactly what I was looking for.
Me too!! You just made our department's day!!
Just my .02 worth, but is it possible to release a course to anybody without someone going through it from beginning to end, just like a learner will, for QA purposes????
Have that person time themselves, and it doesn't add any time or effort to what should be normal workflow.
Hi,
We try to understand how the Articulate comes up with the approximate time of the lesson, definitely it is not only based on the total audio time, would you please explain the criteria used?
We need to decide if we are able to use the approximate time provided by the Articulate for our lessons.
Thank you!
It is based on the timelines of the slides, but if you intend to include any learner actions, it becomes really inaccurate.
It only uses the main timelines and not layers. We've got a lot of content in layers making this very inaccurate unfortunately.
Hi Brett,
The Course duration within the publish settings will account for the individual slides and their timelines, and won't take into account any interaction the learner needs to participate in.
It helps to give a rough estimate, but if you've included layers, web objects, or lots of learner interactions those will impact your overall time.
Does this apply when someone else is providing you a Storyline course just for review? Is there a publish option to see the duration that way?
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to establish the duration of each scene?
I need to know so that I can put breaks in at the right time...
At the moment, it only seems to show me the total time, even when I ask it to just publish one scene.
Thanks

Hi there, Kassy. Currently, the estimated duration in the project info window calculates the duration of all of the slides' timelines in the entire project. I'll submit a feature request for you to have that field dynamically change if you're choosing to publish a single scene!
Hi Crystal,
I am currently looking for this same feature, timelines for individual scenes. For most Syllabus creation and course approvals, it asks for Chapter/or section timelines. I usually create a new scene for each Chapter or objective. This post says it is from 3 years ago, do you know if this feature was ever added? And if so, how do I get to it? Thank you! Angel
Hi Crystal - thanks for submitting the feature request. Just so I can confirm with someone on my team asking about this - as of now, if I want to know the approximate length for a specific set of slides or a scene, there is no way unless I just manually go to each slide and add up the timelines? Or copy and paste those slides/scene into a new empty projeect and act as though I am publishing just those slides to see the project length?
