Learning Journal In Rise

Hi Emma

I'm glad the post on "creating downloadable pdf files in Storyline" was useful. The JavaScript library pdf-lib is pretty awesome - using a pre-formatted pdf template as the learning journal takes a lot of the hard work out of it.

As this thread is specific to RISE, I should just point out that, although the solution I proposed in the above article gives you the ability to create a single Storyline block which can then be built into your RISE course to capture and download notes at that point in your course, there is still the problem of capturing notes for your journal at multiple points in your RISE course and 'holding' them until the end of the course. As you know, RISE has no variables, and variables used in a Storyline block are lost as soon as you exit that block. This is where Mike's original solution was so good.

We have been able to solve this for one of our clients using "local" browser storage (similar to the 'cookies' websites use) - there is a discussion on how this works in the demo below:

I think there may be another solution where you write the first notes to create a pdf file and then pick the same file up and append more notes to it. This has only just occurred to me so I have no idea whether that would be possible. Anyone tried this using pdf-lib??
