Description

This is your All-In-One Toolkit for integrating Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate with LearnDash LMS!

By popular demand, our new premium plugin gives you the ability to hide the Mark Complete button on LearnDash lesson pages as well as topic pages! Meaning that you can use your eLearning content produced in either Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate to have learners trigger the Mark Complete process on Lesson pages.

Your 1 year support licence shall entitle you to any feature updates released during this period.

Automatically Mark Lesson and Topic Pages As Complete Using Storyline or Captivate Content

Just like our free version, this LearnDash Add-On Plugin will provide you with full control over how your learner must interact with your digital content in order to progress through your course, by using a very simple JavaScript command within your Storyline or Captivate content, you will be able to dictate when exactly the Mark Complete process should be triggered.

If the lesson or topic page has already been marked as complete, and a ‘Next Lesson’ or ‘Next Topic’ link exists on the page, then this will be triggered instead!

‘Mark Complete Button’ Reveal Feature!

As an added bonus we have put another feature into our plugin, allowing you to reveal the Mark Complete button to your learners precisely when you want to by activating a separate trigger within Storyline or Captivate content. This feature gives you even more control on how you run your online course, providing learners with the ability to mark topics as complete only when they are ready to progress forward!

Activate The ‘Mark Complete’ Button From Inside A New Tab!

In the latest update to our plugin (all versions after 1.3.1) we have added the ability to control the mark complete function of a lesson or topic page using Storyline or Captivate content launched in a new browser tab! This feature is currently in public beta as it does require some configuration on both the lesson/topic page of LearnDash, as well as the Execute JavaScript command in your Storyline content to make work. Please refer to our updated plugin User Guide for full instructions.

FAQ

Does this plugin work with any other eLearning Authoring Tools?

Yes! As long as you can activate JavaScript code you can use this plugin with other authoring tools, or advanced multimedia development software such as Adobe Animate CC. We strongly recommend trying your eLearning software out using our FREE PLUGIN VERSION first before commiting to purchase our premium version if you intend to use something other than Storyline or Captivate.

What about Articulate Rise?

The latest version of our plugin does support content produced in Articulate Rise! Your content must include a Storyline block which contains a button that triggers the required JavaScript. For more details, please refer to the User Guide.

Is this plugin something to do with SCORM?

No, this plugin does not capture any information from the eLearning content. This only allows you to use content on the current page to activate the Mark Complete function within LearnDash.

Will the plugin still work if I use a different word for Lessons, Topics and Mark Complete using LearnDash’s Custom Fields options?

Yes, using the LearnDash custom fields options does not interfere at all with the functionality of this plugin.

What happens if the lesson or topic has already been marked as complete and the learner returns to the page to review the content

We have introduced a new feature into Version 1.1 which will automatically move the user onto the next page in the course if the mark complete process has already been triggered. Make sure your plugin version is up-to-date to take advantage of this.

  1. Simon Atworth

    Simple but effective. Works well with Articulate Storyline. Thanks!

  2. Brian Werner

    We use SCORM eLearning content in our online courses and this plugin was a great help in getting them connected with our LearnDash platform.

  3. StarTraveler

    Doesn’t work as of Sep 2018. I’ve offered to pay the developer to fix the problem. No response.

    • Chris Hodgson

      Hi StarTraveler,
      We responded to your email on 20/09/2018, please double check your mailbox and spam folders.
      Your enquiry related to a feature request that our plugin doesn’t currently offer but will in an upcoming release.
      Many thanks.

  4. Esteban

    Also work very well with Adobe Edge and Adobe Animate, great solution, thanks!

  5. neha

    Is this work for LearnBrite?

    • Chris Hodgson

      Hi Neha.
      I’m afraid we can’t offer support for every authoring tool that is out there, because for example we do not own a licence for LearnBrite in order for us to confirm this ourselves.
      What I can tell you is that our Topic only version of this plugin, also available from our website, is COMPLETELY FREE and therefore poses zero risk if you want to give it a go and see if it works for you.
