Articulate Storyline 360 Content on WordPress

To upload your Articulate Storyline 360 developed H5ML5, xAPI, and SCORM Content on WordPress, follow the simple steps given below.

Table of Content

Requirements

  1. GrassBlade xAPI Companion plugin
  2. Articulate Storyline Tool
  3. GrassBlade Cloud LRS or installable GrassBlade LRS (Only For Reporting)

First, we need to export Articulate Storyline 360 content with the right settings. There are 2 ways we can follow:

  1. Export Content with Reporting (xAPI and SCORM Standard)
  2. Export Content without Reporting (HTML5)

We will learn about both ways one by one. Let’s start.

Export Content with xAPI/Tin Can API Reporting

Launch Articulate Storyline Tool and open your content.

Step 2:
Click the Publish button.

Step 3:
Select LMS/LRS from the right side tab, enter a title and description.

Step 4:
Check the box called Report to an LMS and select xAPI (Tin Can xAPI) as an LMS standard.

Step 5:
Click the Reporting and Tracking.

Recently, Articulate added option to report tracking data to External LRS, we do not recommend to use it with GrassBlade xAPI Companion. Our plugin allows you connect any LRS from WordPress. However, if you want to send information to two LRS’s then you can give it a try.

Step 6:
Enter a unique identifier in the Activity ID field.

This is usually a short name or content number. Do not use spaces, but use underscores or dashes between words if needed.

This is the field the GrassBlade LRS will use to track your xAPI Content statements, so make sure it is unique. If you use the (random) default ID, it will work but will be difficult to identify your xAPI contents in the LRS statement list. Click ok to save the settings
Launch URL = index_lms.html
Make sure it is set as index_lms.html to get proper tracking data.

Step 7:
Select Tracking Tab, now we have 2 options:

  • Track using no. of slides viewed. (Choose, if you want completion on basis of slides viewed by the user.)
  • Track using quiz results. If
    • There is only one result slide then set it as Final Assessment.
    • If there are two or three result slides then set them accordingly.

A Quick Tip for Rich Quiz Reporting

While creating a quiz for your Storyline course, make sure you added a question title via the Form View option. It will send rich data (title) in xAPI statements and help you in understanding user progress in a clear manner.

Export Content with SCORM Reporting

GrassBlade xAPI Companion also supports SCORM 1.2 and all the editions of SCORM 2004. However, we recommend exporting your content as an xAPI package for better reporting and future requirements.

If you still want to export with SCORM reporting setting, just replace settings with these options in the above process.

Recommended Settings for SCORM 1.2

Step 4:
From the Output options, select SCORM 1.2 and click the Reporting and Tracking Options button.

Step 4a:
From LMS Reporting, select Passed/Failed option. Now you can jump to Step 7.

From LMS Reporting, select Passed/Failed option. Now you can jump to Step 7.

Click the Publish button.

Step 2:
