Here’s a quick mockup that I created using Storyline 360 and JavaScript. My goal was to collect learners’ input from three slides and then allow them to print their responses.
Mechanics
Each slide in this demo sample includes a photo from nature and a text variable field for the learner to comment on the photograph.
When the learner reaches the final slide, I provide them with the option to print their responses.
The Javascript behind the “Print Your Responses” button is shown below:
var myWindow = window.open("","Print","width=810,height=610,scrollbars=1,resizable=1");
var player=GetPlayer();
var pic1comments=player.GetVar("pic1comments");
var pic2comments=player.GetVar("pic2comments");
var pic3comments=player.GetVar("pic3comments");
var contents = "<html><head></head><body style='width:650px;padding:20px;'>";
contents+="<div style='height:20px;padding:10px;margin-bottom:20px;text-align:center;'><button onclick='javascript:window.print();'>Print My Notes</button></div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;margin-top:10px;'>Here are your comments.</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>Pic 1 Comments</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>"+pic1comments+"</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>Pic 2 Comments</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>"+pic2comments+"</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>Pic 3 Comments</div>";
contents+="<div style='font-size:17px;margin-top:5px;'>"+pic3comments+"</div>";
contents+= "</body></html>";
myWindow.document.write(contents);Here you can see the results. From here, the learner can print to their local printer or print to a PDF file to save. Credits to Matthew Bibby for providing the initial JavaScript code!
