Share test course from free trial
I was asked by my employer to explore Articulate 360 on behalf of some coworkers who didn't have the time to do so, so I signed up for a free trial. I generated a test course and would like to show those coworkers what I've done so they can determine whether they think it'll work for them. The problem is, not all of them are available to view the course before my trial ends in 4 days. Is there a way for me to save the course *as a course* (i.e., not a pdf, which I've already done, but it's a mess) to show my colleagues after my trial expires?
They (and a few others) need to weigh in before we decide to purchase a subscription. Unfortunately, that can't happen before the end of my free trial, which means I'm going to lose the work I've done in this testing period. It would be great if I could show them the 'finished' product and we can discuss the pros/cons of Articulate in that context.
You can publish to web which will download a package
I tried that, but all it did was download a zip folder and when I unzipped it, all I saw were 2 folders (one called "Assets", which contained the pictures I used) and one called "lib" (which contained info on style/fonts etc.) and two files, "Goodbye" (hand-waving icon) and "Index" (which was empty). How do I view it in a browser?
Hi Kim,
index.html in the content folder should launch your course.
Aha! That's it! Thank you!
Karl / Phil,
Trying to figure out how and where to use index.html to save the course *as a course*. Not sure what you are referring to in your response..."in the content folder".
Also, is there a way I can share my test course with the Articulate team, or perhaps someone within E-Learning Heroes to get some much-needed feedback. This is my first course I ever built so was hoping to get that feedback before my trial expires in 8 days.
Any information you can provide will be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Lora,
Phil was talking about publishing a Rise course using the Web option.
Publishing for Web will produce a ZIP file. If you unzip that file, you will find a content folder. That's what were talking about.
Note that the Web ZIP file cannot be brought back into Rise later for editing.
Thank you, Karl!
I did use the web option and I see several files within the zip folder. Unfortunately, I am not able to find the unzip option to locate a content folder. Are you able to provide steps for me to unzip and open content folder for the course?
FYI...I did a 30-day trial for Articulate 360 and I just finished building my first course. I've never built a course before, so I was wondering if there is a way for me to submit the course to the Articulate team, or perhaps members of the E-Learning Heroes to get some feedback on improvements, etc. I did publish the course to Review 360, but I don't have a team or anyone to share it with.
I have 8 days left in my trial and I'm hoping this can be done within that timeframe so I can make corrections and perhaps save to my LinkedIn profile, if possible.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Lora Zabik
