How to embed a web course into Storyline

Hi, I'm trying to embed the web course link below within a storyline output (display in slide and not a new window) because I'd like to add a storyline page at the end for learner to click an  acknowledgement/attestation button for scorm tracking purposes. 

However, using a web object indicates the course must open in a new window. Do you have any suggestions on how to design this smoothly for the learner so they're not having to deal with multiple windows and so the acknowledgement button appears as soon as the final assessment is complete in this external web course?

  • Are you limited to Storyline and if so, which version? If using 360, have you tried developing this in Rise instead?

      Hi, not limited. How would we do it in Rise which I do have access to?

        For this particular course, you would not be able to embed it as the external website refuses the connection. That means that the security settings on the host server prohibit content from being shown through either the embed or the iframe tags.

  • Nina,

    My SL360 Insert Object has an option to Display in slide or Display in a new browser window.

    Display in slide will solve the multiple windows issue but it may be difficult to time that acknowledgement button since they're completing the external web course. You would just need to use the honor system and have the button appear after a certain time or next slide.

      Hi Mike, we tested a web object in SL360 but SL will not let us embed the external course within the SL window.
