How to Upload and Share eLearning Projects

Today we’re going to look at how to upload an eLearning project and generate a shareable link.

First, we’ll publish an HTML5 package from an eLearning authoring tool such as Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate.

Then we’ll then upload our HTML5 package to a cloud-based storage service called Amazon S3, which is one of Amazon’s many web services.

In S3, we’ll create a bucket that we can upload our eLearning package into. Then we’ll be able to generate a public link that you can share on LinkedIn, your portfolio site, or in direct messages with clients and recruiters.

Finally, please watch the whole video! There are some common mistakes that people make when uploading and sharing eLearning projects, and this video will help you avoid all of them.

Here's the code to copy and paste when you get to that part in the video:

{
"Version":"2012-10-17",
"Statement":[
{
"Sid":"PublicRead",
"Effect":"Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action":["s3:GetObject","s3:GetObjectVersion"],
"Resource":["arn:aws:s3:::DOC-EXAMPLE-BUCKET/*"]
}
]
}

Devlin, in case nobody said yet, you are heaven sent! I learned what ID is, learned the theories, saw Articulate Storyline for the first time in my life, and now publicly uploading my test project by just watching and working along your Youtube Videos! Thank you so much!

This is such a kind gesture. I have seen this video for some time but was overwhelmed. But the step by step breakdown was incredible. Quick note for anyone using Rise the main file is labelled as index when you export it for Web from Rise.

This is pure gold, Devlin. I'm currently working on a graduate certificate in ID, and many of the students in my cohort are baffled as to how we can share our first eLearning projects. Problem solved, thanks to Mr. Peck. Appreciate all you do for this community sir!

Wow! It worked!!! I'm so excited about this. This is the best step, seeing what I've been working tirelessly on for a week now live and published on my website. Everything works! Thank you so much Devlin. You are changing my life.

I have spent TWO DAYS trying to figure out how to host my rise course on the web and all these videos out here were SO CONFUSING! Thank you for sharing this, you are a great teacher.

Thank you Devlin! Your work is truly a gift that keeps on giving! I just finished an Adobe Captivate project yesterday and then scrambled to try and figure out how to share it as part of a job application. Thanks to your work I am currently uploading to AWS/S3 and I hope to finish shortly and share with the prospective employer. Thank you for helping those of us working really hard to enter into the ISD field; your work truly matters and I am deeply grateful!

Devlin, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!! Kept running into that "Access Denied" and didn't know how to fix it - until I found you. Thank you, thank you thank you! I hope you see this ...

[HalcyonHavoc]

I have been working on this project for three months now and was near tears until I saw this video. You don't know how this lifted me up from my problems! Thank you!

[LWellsy]

While some screens have changed, this video is still on point almost 2 years later! Thanks so much for this tutorial, Devlin! It truly is priceless! (P.S. If you're super thorough like me, don't waste your time searching for the articles that Devlin references in the video. Everything you need to do is in the video step by step!)

[sejaalbonnytilwani]

Ohmygod, Devlin! Thanks a ton. I created my first ever e-learning module for a sample and this video did wonders to me. I built my first sample and the feeling is amazing. My mom was happy to see it. Thankyou :)) 🥂

[jenniferberman]

Holy moly I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this!! I just spent the last two hours troubleshooting how to publish my storyline content to my website. I literally jumped up and cheered when this worked!!! You are a lifesaver!

[ivyxiaoyucoleman]

You have such a gift for being able to explain things like these in a clear way! Thanks so much, Devlin.

[adorahawk]

Thank you so much Devlin! A recent assignment in my PhD program was to follow a few ID leaders on social media. Hands down, your guidance and support is top notch! Really appreciate the portfolio tutorials!

[audreybrown]

Devlin I want to say many, many thanks. I have been trying to figure out how to share my work on my WordPress websites for over a week now. After viewing many tutorials and exploring FTP sites etc, I finally came across your video, and yes... light bulb!!! you solved it for me :) .... thanks again.

[jeffnorber]

Thanks Devlin - this is gold! I had looked into S3 for my hosting my portfolio and ended up going with Adobe Portfolio. Unfortunately, there's no way to upload Storyline files! This is a perfect solve and you laid it out nicely!

[priyankasen]

Devlin, I cannot thank-you enough for making this video. I had a project submission today & I ran into the same problems that you have mentioned in this video. I was so anxious but after I saw this video, I was not just relieved but I was able to upload my project successfully. Thank-you so very much!

[gavinmcclements]

Thank you so much! I have graduated with my Masters in ID and worked as an ID for the past year, but find myself unemployed at the moment and needing to build my portfolio. This, and the rest of your content, is new to me, but this was so helpful! Thank you!

[adamlossing]

Thanks, Devlin, very generous of you to share this time saving tutorial.

[TheMiniink]

OMFG DEVLIN!! I have tried to follow several other guides that ran me ragged and I was close to thinking I'm just to stupid for this gig!!You are amazing.

[oqowhcv]

I've been worrying for weeks about how to publish and share a project - and here it the answer. Thanks so much!
