open a local eLearning

    What you are describing is not a typical use case. Normally, an e-learning course would be enabled with links to open static files (*.pdf, for example) or web pages. Pointing a course to open another *.story file would most likely give the result you are seeing (a blank screen), since other users would not always have the Articulate software required to open the file.

    If you really want to have the user open and launch a second e-learning course from the first one, you will probably have to publish one or both of them to a SharePoint site. You could also (I think) launch a Rise course hosted on a web site from a link in a Storyline course, but like I said, this is not typical.

  • yes, I know, it's not typical and yet, it's a need. Why? We have developed a big course in ergonomics and human factors and some users want to use this course while being offline without being dependent on an internet connection. it may seem strange from afar, but sometimes, it turns out that some places are either poorly served by network, or the network is jammed or blocked or ... weak (yes yes it still exists) and so we have a local version but this version points to 5 other small EAOs and files. for the files, ok it works, but the EAOs no. is it possible to do it using Java Script scripts?

  • Hello, I have the same question.  I am trying to launch a separate piece of scorm content from a page in another scorm file in articulate. I have published both to sharepoint (as web), as per JHauuglie's suggestion above and then point to the other story.html file, however it just launches a blank htm page.  Any ideas?  Both story.htm files launch on their own when accessed from the sharepoint directory. My assumption is that somehow the destination story.htm file can't point to the other content files when its launched through the elearn interface?  Has anyone else tried to do this? Or does it just require everything to be in an lms environment?
