Using Storyline's Web Object to Insert a UPK Published Topic into a Storyline Slide

Storyline's web object option is really powerful.  It's a simple, easy way to add different types of content to your slides:  live websites, publicly hosted files, etc.  

Storyline also does some pretty awesome screen recordings on it's own.  But sometimes here at DHS, we use a tool called UPK instead.  UPK does a nice job, but it's even cooler when we can combine those UPK topics with some content in Storyline.  Because of Storyline's awesome ability to insert a web object, this is perfectly possible!

To demonstrate how easy this idea is, I've created a Screenr recording that shows each step of the process.  It's really not difficult, but does involve quite a few steps!

Hint:  click the icon just to the right of the volume icon to view a full screen version!




NOTE:  the first part of this process also works if you are inserting a UPK topic as a web link--just replace inserting the link as a web object in Storyline with inserting the link on your website.
