Exit a web object in Storyline 360?
Hello! What are some ways to get the user to exit from a web object in Storyline? We would like them to return to Storyline for course completion.
If you are opening a web object in a new window, then the user would just close that window. You do not have any control over that. If it is on a slide, then there should not be an issue, since you never left Storyline.
Thank you! We haven't found a design that ensures completion yet.
How is the course marking complete? Are you expecting something back from the web object?
The slide contains three web objects. Each web object contains a Rise course that was translated into a different language. For example, the three web objects can be the same course in English, French, and Spanish. So the learner needs to view only one of the web objects and then get credit for completion, but we want to ensure they have completed the course in the web object.
How are you passing completion back to storyline?
Then how are you passing completion from the LMS back?
I suspect you could do it with a storyline block embedded in the rise, but would have to navigate the nightmare of nested iframe.

We thought about using Storyline blocks to track completion in Rise, but we don't know how all that would work in SCORM with the client's LMS. That led us to flip to Rise web objects in Storyline.
I am not sure I understand your setup. Are you loading scorms inside storyline as they won’t pass completion to storyline or the LMS.
Or are you loading rise as web output? Either way they won’t pass completion to the storyline module without some link. The storyline block should pass completion to the storyline block.

The idea was that we would publish the Storyline project with a feature to track completion like the Completion trigger. The gap we are trying to fill in is getting the learner to proceed from the web object to the Completion trigger (or layer or results slide).
You may be able to send completion of the web object to unlock the next button. Would have to be the storyline block that does that.
The question is the same as Ron says are you opening in a new window or using inslidw.

Phil, are you saying that a Storyline block in Rise can unlock a next button in Storyline? How would you set that up?
Depends on how the web object is linked, but if they are on the same domain, Yes, it is in an iframe within an iframe but you can send a variable from the storyline block that can be picked up form the storyline course and use a change in that to unlock the next button.

How would you set up the triggers? I'm imagining the Storyline block would have a completion variable with a trigger that changes it from False to True, but how would that variable appear in the Storyline course?
Consider this idea: You could use an object or button within Rise to modify a Storyline variable. By altering this variable, you gain the ability to transition from Rise to the subsequent slide in Storyline simply by clicking the Rise button. I've attached a video to demonstrate this concept. To implement it, you'll need to import the published Rise course into Storyline as a WebObject.
Would you be able to show the triggers in the video? I wasn't able to get the two Storyline projects to share the same variable. Does that require JavaScript?
I don’t believe Nedim used a second storyline variable he added code to a Ride button to pass a variable to the storyline container.
