Perpetual Notepad for Storyline
***UPDATE 2***
Thank you all for so many replies. I have taken your feedback and questions and used them to update the notepad's JavaScript. All the requested features and the identified gremlins have been applied / fixed.
It fixes the bug where in some cases individual notes could be viewed by other learners. It adds the export to PDF feature. I have also stripped out the 'Note Set' feature as it increased the lines of code significantly but did not add that much value. The UI has been rearranged and simplified making it more intuitive and navigable, and I have included a TTS feature.
You need to setup quite a few Storyline variables and the instructions for this can be found in the main Script. If you deploy the notepad in rise you may need to add a button with an Execute JavaScript trigger to reopen the note after having closed it. Because the Notepad script defines a global namespace (SL_Notepad) and exposes an Open() function, you can simply call that function from any Storyline button trigger.
if (window.SL_Notepad && window.SL_Notepad.Open) { window.SL_Notepad.Open(); }
This will toggle the visibility of the Notepad wrapper back to visible, allowing the learner to pick up exactly where they left off.
Here is the .story file. Give it a try and if you like it please let me know. If you improve it, please share it here so everyone can benefit. Please note, the notepad is provided as is, and whilst I am happy to answer any questions that I can, I do not provide tailored support. You are however, free to pop the Script into your favourite AI and amend it as you see fit. That's how I created it!
