Storyline 3 doesn’t have course completion triggers, but Storyline 360 does. And as of March 6, 2018, Storyline 3 users can open Storyline 360 project files that have course completion triggers, and those triggers will work as expected. Install the latest Storyline 3 update to use Storyline 360 completion triggers.
A Storyline course can be tracked by only one of these three options: Select your tracking option when you publish.
Visually-impaired learners often use screen readers to experience e-learning courses, so it’s important to note that Storyline 3 supports JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack screen readers with our supported browsers. Alternative text (alt text) is critical for learners with screen readers, and the good news is it’s easy to add in Storyline 3.
However, Storyline 360 will only send a single tracking option to your LMS. Whichever option the learner completes firstis the one that gets reported to your LMS. Even if the learner completes multiple criteria, only the first one gets sent to your LMS.
Tables are valuable for accessibility, communicating to screen readers how content is organized and providing context for learners. See this user guide to learn all about using tables in Storyline. Be sure to add alternative text and a meaningful focus order to tables and cells. This one’s super easy.
To make your course accessible for low-vision learners, use on-screen text with a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 or higher. Here’s a helpful contrast checker for determining your contrast ratio. If you overlay text on a background image, reduce the brightness and/or contrast of the image to make the text easier to read.
Some learners may be able to see your course but prefer to listen rather than read. They might have learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, or they might not be strong readers. Or perhaps your course language is a second language for them. Consider offering an audio version of text-based slides for these learners.
Drag-and-drop interactions require a mouse for navigation, making them difficult or impossible to use for mobility-impaired learners. If you add them to your course , provide text-based or keyboard-controlled alternatives. For example, you might use a different type of interaction that's keyboard-accessible, such as a matching question or a slider interaction. You could also give learners a detailed text description of the information they need to know from the interaction.
Alternative text (alt text) is critical for learners with screen readers, and the good news is it’s easy to add in Storyline 3. See this user guide for details. You only need to add alt text to slide objects that convey meaning or context to the learner.
This method involves adding one question slide and one result slide to your course at the place where you want completion to be reported to your LMS. These slides can be disguised so they don't look like a quiz.
Add a new blank slide at the place in your course where you want to report completion to your LMS.
Use screencast videos to demonstrate a process. They're not interactive, but if you recorded audio with your screencast, it'll be included with the video. (For interactive demonstrations, insert screencasts as View Mode step-by-step slides .)
Use View Mode step-by-step slides to demonstrate a process with mouse movements and captions.
Use Try Mode step-by-step slides to give learners the opportunity to practice a series of steps. Try Mode slides function as ungraded assessments.
Use Test Mode step-by-step slides to test learners' knowledge of a process. Test Mode slides function as graded exams.
To reuse a screencast from another Storyline project, import at least one of the step-by-step slides from the original project into your new project. This makes the entire screen recording available in the new project, and you can reuse it as often as you like—either as a video on a single slide or as step-by-step slides.
To display a Storyline icon in your computer system tray while you’re recording, mark the System tray icon box. If you need to record your system tray and would prefer not to see the Storyline icon in your screencast, uncheck this box.
To record audio during your screencast, mark the Microphone box, then use the drop-down list to choose a microphone. To record system sounds, mark the Speakers box, then use the drop-down list to choose a playback device.
A note about recorded audio: If you decide to insert your screen recording as step-by-step slides, recorded audio won't be used. Step-by-step slides display only the action-related video clips from your screencast.
However, Storyline 360 will only send a single tracking option to your LMS. Whichever option the learner completes first is the one that gets reported to your LMS.
Yes. You can add multiple completion triggers to a Storyline course. For example, let’s say you have a branching scenario where learners must make a series of decisions. You might add a trigger at the end of each incorrect path that sends a failed status to the LMS and another trigger at the end of the correct path that sends a passed status.
