Comments on: How To Link From One Presentation To Another – Part 1 http://daveperso.mediaenglishonline.com/2008/12/09/how-to-link-from-one-presentation-to-another-part-1/ Making Articulate software do just what you want it to Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:58:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jesse Kramer http://daveperso.mediaenglishonline.com/2008/12/09/how-to-link-from-one-presentation-to-another-part-1/comment-page-1/#comment-47406 Jesse Kramer Mon, 01 Aug 2011 14:10:57 +0000 http://daveperso.mediaenglishonline.com/?p=444#comment-47406 I've been reading this thread because I'm about to try this out for a course of my own and I just had a thought. Could you create a swf file in Flash as a button that the user could click on to move to the next portion of the course when they are ready instead of having Articulate do it automatically as a web object. Just a thought that popped into my head as I was reading. I’ve been reading this thread because I’m about to try this out for a course of my own and I just had a thought.

Actually, Part 2 actually became "<a href="http://daveperso.mediaenglishonline.com/2009/05/12/create-a-menu-for-multiple-presentations/" rel="nofollow">Create a Menu For Multiple Presentations</a>". If you read the article and download some of the example project files, you'll see how I used relative links to link from the main menu to the modules and back. Let me know if you have a specific question I can answer. Hi Delclan,

Hi Dave,

Is the part 2 regarding Relative links on this site somewhere as that is where we seem to be having tremendous problems in setting up a CD with our presentations on it.

The web object displays a 404 (not found on this server) error. I'm sure I have the URL correctly entered. However, if I type into the address line of my browser the same URL information, I'm taken to the next module and it begin playing. That's how I know my URL info is correct. Any thoughts? I'm stumped. I have followed the instructions and the initial index.html page directs the user to the first module, but the subsequent modules won’t load.

What I have done sometimes is to provide a special password at the end of the web object which the learner used to "unlock" the next slide where I placed a one-slide Fill in the Gap type quiz question. Using the quiz settings, I could stop any learner going beyond that slide unless they placed the correct password in the question. It is a bit messy though and is not always suitable and it would definitely be nicer to have direct communication between a web object and a slide. I suppose if the course was not on an LMS, you could place an absolute or relative URL link to the next slide. This would relaunch the course again (ie the loader would appear) but the course would start at the next slide. You would need to use the format player.html?slide=n where n is the slide number you want the course to start on. You'd need to design your web object such that the link would appear just at the end of the activity within the web object itself.
