Storyline 2: Dynamic Printable Workbook

This is a pretty neat demo, I could see this being useful when quizzing with free responses. Thanks!

This is great! I've done something similar with emailing at the end of the course and creating as handout from the answers in an activity :)

I'm glad you like it Yael and Carlene! Carlene, emailing the information out of the course is a good option, however, it doesn't have quite the same level of control as this solution does. That being said, using JavaScript to generate emails from within Storyline it works well in most cases (although there are some email clients that don't support it). Being able to ass variables from Storyline to the email and also grab other info (such as system info etc.) to help with troubleshooting and testing can be really helpful.

HI Matthew! I definitely need a bit more practice, it is very useful. I've only used it once or twice so far and i'm still learning java script. We normally provide blank PDF templates at the end but it would be far more beneficial if learners filled them out and had their personalised ones at the end like in your example. I will be using your demo to add a print button to the goals exercise in this: https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/learning-objects/mle/goal-setting/ Thanks again :)

Great! I'm really pleased that this is useful to you. Let me know if you run into any issues when adding it to your course.

Thanks :)

Wanted to take a look at this and am getting a 404 error (page not found)

Sorry about that Joe, the link has been fixed now. Thanks for letting me know and I hope this demo is useful to you.

Hi Matthew, this is a great post - thank you for sharing. In Carlene's example the html output file includes line breaks. Do you know how she achieved that? She hasn't replied to Lizzie's query so I'm reaching out to you hopefully!

Apologies Id missed the email notifications. If you copy and paste the following address into your browser you can see the source code. I used regex to tidy up the user input and add in line breaks with view-source:https://www.escholar.manchester.ac.uk/learning-objects/mle/goal-setting/pyramid.html

thanks - Do you know if there is any way to default the Print setting to "Save as Adobe PDF?"

Is it possible to print also numeric variables using this dynamic workbook? Or is it possible to pass the value of a numeric variable to a text variable? Thanks for the very nice solution!

Hi Matthew, I've used this successfully in the past, thanks so much for your tutorial and answering follow up questions. I know this was for Storyline 2. I'm curious if you've tried using this in Rise as well by embedding a Storyline file. Currently, there isn't a text entry option in Rise, I'm wondering if I inserted storyline files in lessons in Rise, is there a way to pass that information to the LMS or something in order for it to print as one notebook at the end? Perhaps one of your other tutorials would help with this. Curious if you've tried anything similar. Thanks!
