Course fails to resume on third attempt in Moodle
May 19, 2015
Locally my course resumes fine on multiple attempts but when I upload it to Moodle (2.7) it only resumes correctly on the first two attempts. On all future attempts, it shows where I left off on the second attempt no matter what I do.
Note: When I use the word "attempt", I am talking about launching the SCORM 1.2 package in Moodle, clicking a section, viewing some pages, and then exiting the activity.
When I come back the first time and second time, Moodle bookmarks and returns me to the correct location. However, when I come back a third time or any time after that, it always shows where I left off on the second time I came in.
I'm stuck on this one. I welcome any suggestions.

Sounds like you have overloaded the bookmarking data for scorm 1.2, I think Moodle 2.7 lets you ignore this under the scorm settings.
Phil - Thanks for responding.
How quickly does bookmarking data accumulate? I can open only a single page each time I visit the SCORM course and it still stops tracking after my second visit.
Do you know what the setting is called to ignore the data? And if I ignore the data, will it still report on what I did?
The SCORM 1.2 spec has a limit on the amount of data that can be stored - Moodle has a setting to control this under admin > Plugins > Activity modules > SCORM -> "Enable SCORM 1.2 standard mode"

Changing Enable SCORM 1.2 standard mode did not work for me. I tried SCORM 2004 (Moodle 3) and resume works perfect now.
I am experiencing a similar problem. I unchecked the SCORM 1.2 specs and tested it and I also published to 2004 and tested it. It loads perfectly the first time. But, when I click resume on the second attempt nothing will load. It's just white space. The stranger thing is that it also happens in Articulate Online. I must have a setting wrong somewhere but I just can't seem to find it. The module consists of 3 text entry fields that I would like the learner to be able to edit and add to with each attempt.
I set all slides to reset to initial state and that was all I needed to make it work. Found the solution in this post: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/course-not-resuming-to-correct-slide
Nice detective work, Doug, and thanks for updating us! I'm glad that Traci's solution to set all slides to reset to initial state fixed the non-resuming issue in your course. You know where to find us if you have any questions along the way or need us to take a look at a file!
