Migrating to Lectora Online from Lectora Desktop
Why You'll Love Lectora Online:
- Transfer Projects from Lectora Desktop to Lectora Online
- Enjoy the same authoring features
- Access anytime, anywhere
- Works with Macs, PCs, any OS, or browser
- Centralized Templates, Library Objects, and Assets
- Real-time team collaboration
Moving Projects to Lectora Online
- In Lectora Desktop (or Lectora Inspire/Publisher), select File › Export › Lectora
Online Package File.
- In Lectora Online, select "Import Lectora Online Package File" from the Getting Started
Dashboard.
Best Practice: Avoid moving Projects back and forth between Lectora Online and Desktop versions. Once a Project has been optimized for Lectora Online, exporting it again will result in further differences.
Mutimedia Files
Consider making lower-resolution versions of images and breaking video and
audio files into smaller file sizes. Network connectivity can affect upload times.
Best Practice: Use the Image Compression option when publishing to optimize files for the best
learner experience, even in low bandwidth situations
Pasting Text
- Create a text block first.
- Double click to edit.
- Use the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut to paste text.
Best Practice: Use the Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut to paste unformatted text when copying from a Word document. To avoid formatting issues, paste your text into a text editor (e.g. Notepad) first, then copy the text again from within the text editor, and then paste into Lectora.
If your browser prevents you from using the Ctrl+V shortcut, use the Clipboard menu
to select Paste OSC before pasting
Bulleted Lists
Editing text blocks may change alignment
Best Practice: To reapply formats, simply select the text, remove the bullet application, then re-apply the bullets.
Custom Javascript
Lectora® and Lectora Online handle custom javascript differently.
Best Practice: Use the Resource Manager to identify any external files used along with their location to spotlight potential issues
