Learning Management System (LMS)
If you have a finished Storyline course you don’t necessary need a Learning Management System to put your course online. You can place your Storyline courses on your own WordPress website for instance if you want to demo them or use it as an online portfolio. You can do this manually and upload the Storyline course with ftp or use a plugin.
But before we discuss how to upload a Storyline Course to your website let’s look how you must publish your WordPress course.
You have a finished course and you want to publish it so you can upload it to your WordPress webite. Click in Storyline on publish. Now the publish window appears. Let’s assume that we gonna place our coursefiles with ftp to out website. In that case you choose WEB. Give the course an engaging title and choose a folder on your desktop to save it.
Check if under publish ‘Entire project Is visible is selected and click on the button ‘Publish. Storyline will export your course to HTML.
Now if Storyline is finished let’s click the folder icon to open the folder with the HTML files. I also open Filezilla. This is an ftp client where I can connect to my server where my website is hosted. I Connect to the server. In the root of the server I create a folder named ‘course’. And now I transfer my Storyline course html files to the server. The last thing I’ll do is change the name of story.html to index.html.
When I’m ready I can logon to my WordPress website and create a post or page and link to the e-learning course.
This solution is quick but you can’t report any data about your course if you want to.
So If you want to report data from your course or are not that technical there are also a couple of plugins where you can upload your Storyline course to WordPress.
