Responsive design in Storyline 360
Hi,
I know we can preview the course in desktop, tablet and phone mode. But can you actually do responsive design in Storyline 360? If yes, how so?

Have to agree, not being able to create different versions for different "responsive" situations is pointless. You create a slide for Desktop, and when you preview it in Tablet view it shows to be completely out of shape, but there is nothing you can do.......unlike Captivate 9....

That's a really narrow perspective, seeing this from the inside out (instead of from the customers POV). Sounds a lot like the older generation telling young people it's useless to watch movies on mobile devices. If you have clients where a lot of the people in the target group do not have a computer you simply have to adapt. The decision to do all development in Rise from now on was not made by an end user but the head of competence development.
I would not be surprised if SL lost a lot of market shares the next few years due to the fact you cannot produce courses adapted for mobile devices.

Hi Phil,
Thank you for your clarification and your patient. I wish Articulate did a better job in explaining the SL360 and Rise.

Hoping for some new options in Storyline as there has been a lull in any new features. As I have mentioned in previous posts, we have had to unfortunately revert back to Captivate for the moment as Rise, which I had high hopes for, is lacking in functions and features while having the web page format that is excellent, but unusable in a corporate environment at the moment

Only the player is responsive in SL360

Thank you Phil. I am trying to connect the dots here. If only the player is responsive in SL360, why it is there? Do we start our project in Rise? then import it to SL360?

No they are two separate tools. Rise can produce Great responsive courses, they look great but do not have the customisation that you can do in Storyline.
I SL360 the player changes dependent on the device, but the slides do not, however you can lock the orientation to improve the exerience.

Again, thank you. So with that said if you want to build responsive course, you have to use Rise, So what is the point of having the responsive player in SL360 when you cannot build responsive course in the SL360?
- PhilMayorSuper Hero
The responsive player brings optimises the experience of a slide based course on mobile devices but was never intended to have responsive slides.
Rise however was built from the ground up to produce a responsive environment, but to do this means some restriction on the way content can be inserted into rise.
Together they give the best of both world.

ON a real positive the HTML5 engine is completely rewritten and is industry leading in SL340 and can be zoomed using gestures and still stays sharp.
