I have a student who is without internet, thus cannot log into our LMS to complete posted SCORM package. I am trying to publish to CD, but beyond clicking on Publish to CD. I'm lost as to what to do next. I want the student to be able to complete the lesson from the CD. Which leads me to another question? How do I receive the results from what is completed? Is there something that the student could print out? Or am I misunderstanding the purpose of the publishing to CD and it is not meant for these purposes? Thanks! Sarah

The shortcuts point to the file in the folder that launches each individual course. Right-click the .exe file and create a shortcut, then move the shortcut outside the folder.

Good morning Sarah, Not a problem, I completely understand. I wasn't sure if this was a one-time exception for a student that didn't have access. I can certainly see how you would want to be able to provide access to the material for all students. Also, will my student need the Storyline program on their computer to 'play' the lesson?No, the students will not need Storyline to launch the course from CD. The only time they would need the software is if they were going to edit the content and I don't think that's what you have in mind They'll need to have a CD ROM to launch the course, they won't actually be launching the course through Storyline, itself. Now, what file do I exactly burn to the CD? First, you'll need to publish for CD, but to your hard drive. You might want to try publishing to your desktop, just to be sure that you're able to easily find the files you want to put onto the CD. A folder will be created on your desktop (or whatever directory you choose). If you open the folder you'll see something like this: This is the content you'll want to burn to CD - not the first folder. Depending on your operating system and your CD drive, you may not need to use a third-party program to burn to CD. Select all of the contents in the folder (you can easily do this by using the shortcut "CTRL+A") and right-click on the selected files. There may be an option similar to "Sent to...". Look and see if CD is an option. If it is, and you have a blank CD in your drive, it should copy the content over to the CD for you. Now, if you don't see an option like I mentioned above, you may need to download and install a CD burning program. A quick Google search on CD Burning Software should give you a lot of options :) I hope I was able to answer your questions. However, if you need any other information, please let us know! Have a great day Sarah, Christine

add all files into a fsub-older create a shortcut to the exe and put that outside the subfolder (you could even change the icon and call it what you want

Hey Sarah! Sounds like publishing the course for CD and allowing the student to take the course offline is your best option, as we don't yet have the ability for a student to take a course offline, and then upload the results once they are connected to the internet. But allowing them to print their results is really easy. You'll just need to enable the option in your result slide:

Hi Sarah, There are quite a few options for distributing the content you publish for CD. However, since the student you mentioned doesn't have internet access, you will probably need to burn the content to a CD or DVD. The student will need to have a CD ROM, or if it is burned to a DVD, they will need a DVD drive. For more information on publishing to CD, see this tutorial. An alternative would be to copy the content to a USB drive that the student could use. Since the student is offline, it may be difficult to track their content. Unless you have the course set up for printing the results page, they won't be prompted to do so. If I could make a suggestion (sorry if it's silly), but could the student get access to a library? Most libraries will allow free access to internet-ready computers. It may not be the best solution, but if they have one nearby, it may be the quickest and easiest for getting their results. I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks, Christine

Hi G!

Articulate Storyline lets you control several aspects of the browser and player for your published course, including:

* The size of the browser window

* Whether the course stays locked at the same size or lets learners scale it by adjusting the size of their browser windows

* Whether the course launches in a separate window and, if so, the properties of that window

See this tutorial for details.

Thank you Leslie! I've now been able to change the player size.

I am planning on publishing 12 small courses (they only contain images, no audio etc.) on one CD. However, this is creating a lot of files on the CD which may be confusing to the user. I know it's been suggested by another poster that the files can simply be saved into a subfolder and then a short link provided to the exe. files. Is there any way of completely hiding the 'extra' files from users as they only need to see the exe. files to launch the course.

Thanks
