Hi, How do I create an activity which students upload an image in a picture frame box? The Image will be taken from PC. Thanks

This just seems such a great idea for gamification of courses. I have come here looking for how to do this in Storyline as we are building a simulation and having generic photos or avatar illustrations is not really cutting it for a realistic simulation. Thanks!

Jessie, Others may know about some capability within Storyline where you can have learners upload images. However, I do not. In the meantime, if I wanted to provide the learner the ability to practice uploading images, the first way I could think of to do this is as follows: Create a slide with a hyperlink that says "Click here to upload an image." The hyperlink would open a SharePoint or shared folder within the network (that everyone who is taking the course has writable access to). The learner would need to upload an image with a particular naming convention like (Bryant_Patti_Image). I hope this helps and look forward to seeing suggestions from others. Keepin' the joy, Patti Bryant

Hey Jessie and Patti, I wasn't sure what the question one. I like your idea. I'm wondering if in addition video recording within SL could be used. And there could be options to view it, do step-by-step, and then on your own, as you suggest'

Hi Rebecca, this is the situation Would like the kids to upload their picture in the box provided. Hi Patti, thanks for the steps. What is the action chosen for the trigger hyperlink? Is it JUMP to URL/FILE? What happens if the images are located in their own PCs? Is there any other instruction for that?

Hi Jessie and Patti, Patti, tx for the clarification. I see now. Regarding the images on their PCs, the hyperlink idea would be the same, except you'd point to the local hard drive. I have a question, though. I just tested this by jumping to URL/File, but the photo isn't uploaded; instead, the photo opens in a separate browser window. So I, too, would like to know how you can get the photo into SL.

Thank you for your vote, Graham!

Although this currently isn't a feature in Storyline, I've documented the request for this capability with the right folks. If there's any forward movement, we'll share the news here!

Hi Ali,

I appreciate your plus one and added insight for the ability of a learner to upload an image! While we acknowledge this feature has been requested for years now, the impact and benefit it would bring to the majority of users are key factors we take into account. You can read more about our process here.

We don’t have currently have plans for this feature in our roadmap, but we’ll remain active in our tracking of this request and be sure to update this discussion if anything changes!

Add my vote to this. This would a huge benefit for my organization. It literally just came up in a development meeting hence the reason i came here looking for a solution.

I would like this too. It seems strange that Articulate would acknowledge it as a popular request but not have a plan to implement it into their software...maybe it is just way more difficult to build than I imagine.

Read the post from Ren again. It doesn't say it is a popular request, only that it has been around a long time. You're right, it would be very difficult to implement, and I don't they are going to get their undies in a knot over maybe 25 requests. It takes several hundred, maybe thousands to make the cut of affecting enough users to be worth creating. Sorry, it would be cool, but I think you need an ipad to do something like that. Even then, I see users creating projects from scratch (like a PowerPoint, maybe even with a template), rather than fitting an upload into a completed project.
