How do I publish my course on a website or share it by e-mail?
Excuse a beginner but, am I just stupid or why doesn´t it work when I try to share my published course on a website or by mailing the link?
It says in the tutorial: "Now that you've published, it's time to move your web-ready course to your website or server, give it a test run, and then send your users a link to the story.html file so they can access your course."
The only link I can get out of the story.html looks like this: file:///C:/Users/Laila/Documents/My%20Articulate%20Projects/Preteritum%20regelbundna%20-AR-verb%20output/story.html
and it´s clearly linked to the drive on my computer and not to the web, so it doesn´t work anywhere else than on my computer. What am I doing wrong?
I uploaded all the files to my website. Is that correct? I read about the FTP-folder alternative, but I don´t know the name of the server, the directory (is that the web site´s adress?) or even which username or password to use (the same that I use to log in and make changes to my website?). Do you have to do it the FTP-way if you want to publish on a website or is it possible to just upload all the files when your on your website managing it (like I did)?
I´ve had problems with this before. I´m just trainig to be an e-learrning expert so I´m in school right now learning about this stuff, but in the latest school projects we´ve had this has been a problem for nearly all my class mates, and we´ve had to share our courses by uploading a zipped file to Dropbox, inviting each other there, and downloading each others zipped files and extracting them on our own computers. Is that really the only way to share if you don´t have a website to publish on?
Please answer quickly if you can. I need to share this course within 17 hours!
Kind regards,
Laila

Hi! I am trying AWS but perhaps I am doing it wrong. I signed up for the free S3 option and transferred the files for my Articulate project into a bucket. I can click down to the story.html file and get the address but it looks like this:
s3://articulate-project/web-project/Storch_Project_Web - Storyline output/story.html
When I put this in a browser, it launches my windows ftp software. Do I have to register a domain and pay the $12 before I can get a link to story.html that runs correctly?
Hi Robin,
I've not used the Amazon S3 free option, but it wouldn't make a ton of sense to allow you to upload files there and have no option to share them. I know the steps here outline exactly how to upload and share files, was that what you followed?
Hi Robin,
I use Amazons S3 option and it works great! You can load your files directly on AWS SW console, after you login on the AWS websiste. Your URL, should begin with http://your bucket.name.la(these are my initials. I think Amazon assigns this, so either its coincidental or it is your initials).s3-us-(your location)west or east-1.amazonaws.com/name of your folder/story.html.
You get this address by right clicking on the story.html file and selecting "Get web URL". Keep in mind you have to give permission by setting the ACL Settings (right click on the story.html file again). Click all sub folders, and manually check. Sometimes it doesn't always get all the sub folders.
I don't use the AWS Console. I downloaded and use Cloud Berry as stated above. It's super easy to use. There are several tutorial videos that will help you how to set it up. It doesn't take too long, and I found it totally worth it.
You can simply email the URL, or link to it from your personal website, if you have one.
Greetings!
I am a doctoral student and professor also looking to publish my Articulate 360 storyline project to the web before my free trial runs out on Sunday.

I am available today Fri Dec 11th after 2pm EST and tomorrow all day! Thank you!Hi Kimberly and welcome to E-Learning Heroes 😊
We have instructions for publishing your project for web distribution:
Publishing a Course for Web Distribution
Once you've published the course and have the zipped output file, you can then upload it even after your trial is over.
I have a short presentation posted HTML on my companies intranet. Now, I am wanting to go back and have links you can click on that w ill take you to other pieces of my presentation. How do I go about doing this?
Hi Joe,
If you're looking to add links to your course that can open URLs when clicked, all you have to do is highlight text in your course and select the hyperlink option:
Doing this will allow you to add triggers to your course that can link back to your other presentations when clicked.
Hope this helps!
Hello, I am having difficulty uploading my course to OneDrive in a sharable format.
I followed the instructions in Storyline 360: Publishing a Course for Web Distribution and I saved it to my desktop, and when I click "View Project" I can see the course. Or if I click the Story.HTML from the folder I can also see the preview.
However, that link doesn't work for anyone else, so I tried to upload the course to a shared drive, our company uses one drive. And when I click on the story.HTML from there I get a blank web page as the preview. If I try and copy and paste the link to the story.html it also gives me a blank web page, and no one else can use the link.
What else can I do to share this?
Hi Diana!
I see you've already submitted a support case and are working with my teammate, Matthew! It looks like Matthew replied to you with some solutions. I'd recommend testing those out to see if that does the trick!
We can continue the conversation via e-mail in your support case!
Will do, thank you.
