How to Embed and Link a Published Storyline Course from a Private Drive to Another Storyline Course
Hi all,
So, I created a course on Storyline, and I published it in Web format. I now need to link that course to another Storyline course I am working on. The problem is the course that I need to link is published to a private drive folder and will not open when I add it to the second course. Is there a way I can create an embed code and add the course as a Web Object? Or can anyone point me in the right direction on how to link one Storyline course to another?
I hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated.
Linking two SL *.story files (regardless of where they are published) would not be something you can do outside of a learning system.
What you might consider doing is taking the two published outputs and connecting them in the learning management system. (I've done that.) The second story is contingent on passing the first story, but both are "seen" by the LMS as "one course" (object), and only one score is reported (from the second story). It's cumbersome but for what we needed to track it was the most reasonable approach.
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your feedback. I uploaded the course to a learning system (HealthStream) but when I click the link to the second course it does not open.
If both story files are loaded to your LMS, and one plays but the other does not, that's likely a problem within the LMS, not Storyline.
If you have linked to the second course from within the first course (and it sounds like you have done so) you may still not be able to do what you are wanting; keep in mind that once you have loaded the *.story files to the LMS, you are likely going to need to configure the LMS to do what you want to see (click the link and launch the second *.story course).
Also, the LMS may not be reading the configuration correctly (that is, the LMS is not seeing the connection between the two *.story files). But that's all within the LMS to troubleshoot.
Good luck!
