Status: Draft — starter files and live examples coming.
What this is
A writeup of the pattern I use when I need a Storyline-style interaction to live outside a SCORM package — in a static site, an email, or an iframe. The goal isn’t to replace Storyline; it’s to free a specific interaction from the runtime.
Interactions I’ve rebuilt
- Branching decision scenarios (see the Meridian demo)
- Process-step walkthroughs with conditional feedback (see the Crestline EHR simulator)
- Tabbed reference interactions — more accessible as native HTML than inside Storyline’s player
- Rubric-scored self-assessments with printable summary output
What you get in the port
- Native keyboard and screen-reader support without fighting the player
- Real URLs per state (if you want them)
- xAPI emission without the SCORM wrapper
- Pages that load in a fraction of the time
What you lose
- The Storyline authoring UI. Which, depending on the week, is a feature or a bug.
