Quick Tips & Tricks: Episode 110 – Persistent Panel on Storyline Player
Hi Community, in Quick Tips & Tricks: Episode 110 Tom Kuhlmann is showing a "lightbox" that is triggered by a boolean (true/false variable) and controlled by a “Persistent Panel on Storyline Player” - in this case the customer did not want a native lightbox that is shown over the entire player. I think there is a much simpler way without any further slides: 1. create a true/false variable, e.g. “LB”. 2. create a layer on the slide master, e.g. “Lightbox” 3. create the desired content and a “close” button on this layer 4. create two triggers in the layer: a. If the variable “LB” changes, show this layer. b. When the user clicks on “close”, hide this layer. Now switch to the player view and add a tab like Tom, e.g. “Legend”. However, select “Execute Javascript” as the action: setVar('LB', !getVar('LB')); // “!” sets the boolean to its opposite value (true or false) That's it. The “Legend” layer is displayed on each slide when the “LB” variable changes - in this case when the user clicks on “Legend”. It is hidden via “close” or by switching slides. This can also be used by hyperlinks (switching variables) to show up tooltips (layers) defined for all slides. Best wishes PeterSCORM 1.2 Question and Answer Text to LMS
Hello, I'm having an issue with reporting in the LMS not showing the question text or answer text from the Storyline SCORM 1.2 file that I uploaded for the course. It shows a slide ID which includes slide number, question bank draw, question type, and answered correct or incorrect, but not the details. The company leadership is looking to see the actual question text and answer text for the question that the learner selected. Is there a way to get this data to export in the SCORM 1.2 file so it will show up within the LMS reporting for the course? We are using UKG Learning if that helps. Thank you in advance for any advice to complete this.Keeping a high score
Hi all, I am looking for some advice. I have created a drag and drop game using a timer. The aim is to get faster at completing the game each time and I am trying to find a way to keep the high score across retries unless it is beaten. I am using %score% and %highscore% and set up a trigger for the 'high score' to change to the 'score' when the 'score' is lower than the 'high score', but even if it is higher it is updating to the score. I have tried adding a trigger to change the high score value when the timeline starts to 999 if the high score is = 0, which works on the first turn to update the high score to the score, but changes to 999 on the second attempt. If I disable this trigger it doesn't even show the score on the first attempt. I am pretty new to Storyline and would greatly appreciate any help. It's driving me mad! Thanks in advance :)Calculating a complete correct score with a Pick Many screen
I'm using a Pick Many quiz screen as a multiple select Hotspot quiz. That is, there are multiple spots on the screen that would be correct, but the user only needs to select one option to advance. The problem is that the Results screen is counting the unselected correct items as incorrect in the final calculation and in the Review screens. How do I fix this or is it even possible to do so?Are articulateusercontent links permanent?
Hi all, I'm adding pdfs to a learning module. We dislike the look of the attachment blocks - they're very clunky. We'd like to add text links inside text blocks. I'm using a suggestion from elsewhere in this forum and it works but I have questions. We're adding the attachment block, right click copying the url and using the url in a text link. Then we delete the ugly block. 1. This all works, but the url produced by the edit function looks temporary, not permanent. Are articulateusercontent links persistent? How long will they last? 2. Secondly, when you upload a new version of the same pdf, it seems to create a new url. This is an updating nightmare as has been discussed here before. Is there any way to overwrite a pdf file instead of creating a new link? Thanks in advance, NeroliBlock Users from Registering in Reach 360
Does anyone know if it's possible to block certain users from registering in Reach 360? We have employees signing up for courses in Reach 360 instead of using our internal LMS, as we use Reach 360 for non-employee audiences, and I'd like for employees to not occupy a seat in Reach 360. If blocking isn't an option (based on email domain, ideally), does anyone know if deleting a user disables their access to Reach 360?Mac Parallels - which version to get?
Hi all. I just wondered if the Standard version of Parallels on my 2002 M1 MacBook will be enough? Main difference I can see is number of virtual processors and RAM allocation. My Mac only has standard M1 chip and 16GB RAM so don't think the upgraded versions of Parallels will make a difference anyway. Just wanted to hear your experiences! Thanks.Screen Reader is Reading Items Not in the Focus Order
Hello. I've recently started to have a problem where Windows 11 Narrator is reading items that are not in the focus order (either default or custom focus order--doesn't matter). For example, when I create a multiple-choice question with a question and four answer choices, the screen reader will correctly read the question and the four potential answer choices. However, when I select an answer (correct or incorrect), the screen reader automatically reads the text and the continue button in the answer feedback popup, then it reads the course title and some random player controls before returning to the answer feedback popup. After it returns to the answer feedback popup, I can control the screen reader/works as it should (SEE ATTACHED VIDEO). This just started happening during the past week. I've had no issues like this when creating questions in Storyline in the past. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Pixulated Video
Hello Community, I've been asked to import a Teams recording into a Storyline course. The recording looks okay in Teams and video editing software, but when it is imported into SL it becomes pixulated. Does anyone have any tips for this? I haven't published it, but it looks pixulated in Review. Any advice appreciated.Rise upload video file accessibility ideas?
We hit a showstopper accessibility snag with Rise's upload multimedia block. We are required to use WAVE as our checker and it throws a missing video alt tag error for videos we upload. We've looked at these possible solutions but they raise other issues or they're unknown territory. Wondering if anyone has found a solution?? Solutions we've discussed so far... Continue to use file upload and use the video caption field and text before the video block to describe the content (likely no: organization needs a clean WAVE test) Self host videos on our server (no, not optimized for streaming, captioning) Embed the video and host it on YouTube: (can of worms when it comes to privacy, Google terms of use, video participant consent). We are looking at other video hosting platforms with more nuanced sharing and embedding controls... Provide an accessible PDF of the whole module: (told no, don't want multiple versions of modules) Maybe put the video in a Storyline block? We'll test this but I'm not very familiar with Storyline and accessibility and am wondering if anyone has any experience using it for this situation? Other ideas???? Thank you!
