I have an adaptive branching scenario set up using variables and the next button. When the user clicks the next button it should take them to 1 of 3 slides triggered by the variable that is set up. Each time they return back to the original slide, this works the way I intended it to except it never gets to the 3rd slide and seems to get stuck between Slide # 2 and the Original Branching slide.29Views0likes3CommentsMy custom javascript cannot pull the Canvas User ID while used in Canvas, but can in SCORM cloud
Hello! In my Storyline project, we are hosting an artificial intelligence based tutor on an AWS server - to keep some privacy, the start of the URL is https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com and the end is /index.html?user=[%UserID%] Our goal is to have the following javascript search for the Canvas User ID, store it in the URL and a variable in Storyline, and then keep track of that user's conversations with the AI tutor: // Get the SCORM API function getAPI(win) { var API = null; while (win && !API && win.parent && win.parent !== win) { win = win.parent; API = win.GetPlayer ? win.GetPlayer() : null; } return API; } // Retrieve Canvas User ID var API = getAPI(window); var userID = "unknown"; // Default value if (API && API.GetStudentID) { userID = API.GetStudentID(); // Debugging: Show the User ID if it's retrieved alert("User ID Retrieved: " + userID); } else { // Debugging: Show an error message if User ID is not retrieved alert("Error: User ID not retrieved. SCORM API might not be available."); } // Set the User ID in Storyline Variable var player = GetPlayer(); player.SetVar("UserID", userID); // Confirm that the variable has been set (optional) alert("User ID set in Storyline: " + userID); When the user clicks the red button, it runs this script and also opens the link to our AI tutor. (See screenshot 1). When we export the storyline as a SCORM package and import it into SCORM cloud, the javascript successfully searches for the UserID and tries to populate it in both the URL and the (temporary for testing) "User ID:" field in Storyline, but because it can't find it, it displays error messages. (see screenshot 2). However, when we upload this same file to Canvas, the url just keeps it's placeholder and does not display any error messages. The inspector in Chrome shows screenshot 3, but we confirmed our cross-origin frame permissions are wide-open and should not be causing any problems. So we're wondering if something on Canvas's end is blocking our ability to gather the user ID. I'm happy to detail the situation more, but is anyone able to help? I'm just looking for a solution that finds the user ID in Canvas and puts it into the AWS url. We have a tight turnaround on this and either hope it's a solvable issue or the issue isn't on our end. Thank you in advance!38Views0likes7CommentsCreate a board game with pop ups
Further to my engineering course, discussed this idea with the client and they liked I'm it. The idea is a board game which I'm sure many of you have done before but I'm unsure how. So, the idea is to have a flat board with images of the injection machine parts. They click on the parts to show if they can identify them or not. I know how to get the question up but I don't know how to create the triggers that show whether they are correct or not. Can someone assist? Thanks so much! See the idea below. Obviously the design is crude at this point. below.31Views0likes1CommentFinal course index
My field's accrediting body instructs that I "obtain the course index from the Articulate Dev server" to calculate the word count. I will paste the entire instructions below. Does anyone know how I can do this? Thanks! 1. Obtain the final course Index from the Articulate Dev server. Review the Index to ensure that all text from the Storyboards is included in the 3rd column. Also, ensure that the Index has the audio/video times included in the 1st column. If the Index or correct version of the Index is not on the Dev server, reach out to MDT. 2. Using Track Changes, delete content that is not part of the "critical/required path" as defined above including the Note: designation above the content. For content that is included in the word count in the 3rd column delete the Notes: designation above the content. 3. Using Track Changes, delete the review questions (in 3rd column) (including the Note designation above the content) and time (in 1st column) which are included in the number of review questions input into Column G of the Results tab. 4. Using Track Changes, delete the text for which the time is accounted for in Column E or F of the Results tab (including the Note designation above the content). 5. Once the content that should not be included as part of the word count has been removed, save this version of the Index with the Track Changes as '(Course Name) - Index - WCFM - Track Changes.docx". 6. Perform the word count of the remaining text. For content, that is included in the word count in the 3rd column, delete the Notes: designation above the content. Unlike Lectora, the Index for Articulate comes in a Table format; therefore the word count has to be performed in each individual cell in the 3rd column. This is because when more than one cell is selected at a time, the Word Count in Word counts all of the remaining text in the document. Therefore, the individual cells in the 3rd column of the Index have to be counted separately in Word by selecting Tools ---> Word Count from the toolbar. A pop-up window will be displayed titled 'Word Count.' The number in the row labelled 'Words' should be input into the respective cell in Column C of the Results tab for that module. As a best practice, each individual cell number should be put into the cell for that module/section in Column C to arrive at the total words. Similar to Lectora, the Word Count does not count text which has been deleted using Track Changes. Continued on next page For the purposes of Articulate and the structure of the Index, it is not necessary to count each of the slide titles in the 1st column as the time to read them is generally incorporated in the audio/video time. The exclusion of the slide titles should not result in a significant difference in the calculated time and CPE credit value of the course. However, this is left to the discretion of the L&D team for the course. If the words are to be included then repeat the above steps for the appropriate slides in the 1st column of the Index. 7. Once the word count is completed, save a version of the Index (with Track Changes in it) as '(Course Name) - Index - WCFM - Clean.docx' and accept all the changes. This way the Track Changes and Clean versions are clearly identifiable within the CCD entry. 8. Both versions of the Index plus the final Word Count Formula Results document should be attached to the appropriate location in the CPE Credit Measurement section of the course's CCD entry.12Views0likes0CommentsWCAG 2.5.5 Target size - with different screen resolutions
Hi All, Hopefully a simple question, with a simple answer. I am trying to make sure my buttons/links comply with WCAG 2.5.5. that they should be at least 44 x 44 CSS pixels. The bit I am confused with is what screen resolution that's for in Storyline 360? So if I create a button, then change the overall screen res, that button is then a different number of pixels. So how do I know which screen resolution is the correct pixel size, so that I can then convert and make sure it meets this minimum requirement? Thank you in advance!

Hi! I've been experiencing a problem when previewing any project I'm creating on Storyline. It doesn't matter if it is one slide, a scene, multiple scenes or the entire project. The size of the also doesn't matter. It seems to happen randomly. One moment I'm working on a slide, and the preview runs immediately. Then suddenly it just freezes up and I have to hit escape and save and close the project, and then open it up again after which it will work as normal. I've tried hitting escape and previewing again, but then the arrow on the preview button seems to be inactive and I'm only able to initiate the preview of the full project, but it still freezes without actually opening the preview. At first I thought there was a bug in one of my projects, so I created up a totally new project but the issue remains. I've tried several different projects and at some point in every project this happens. This leads me to believe there's something in the software or on my PC that causes an issue. I don't have access to a different machine to see if that makes a difference. I've tried uninstalling the software that didn't work. It's super frustrating especially if I'm working on complicated slides. Does anyone have any advice please?20Views0likes3CommentsBug/Issue in Rise Edit Pane
Hello! I've been experiencing an issue/bug when using the edit pane in Rise 360. Whenever I type in the Edit pane (mainly with headings/subheadings and changing the text on a continue button), the text seems to glitch and will back space, add extra letters, skip letters, etc. I have to retype multiple times or type extremely slowly to avoid this glitch. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way for me to fix this? It's slowing down my development.22Views0likes1CommentDepartment/ Team-specific content on Articulate Rise
Hi everyone, I'm creating a course and would love to filter the content to team-specific so that the learner clicks their own department and all the content is relevant to them. I know this is possible in Storyline, however I have recently moved to a mac and it is not accessible on macs (I've also spoken to our tech team about the virtual environment but this is not available at the moment). Has anyone ever created team-specific content on Rise and happy to share what interactions you've used for this? Thanks so much!25Views0likes1Comment
