We're trying to address the situation where our LMS is not tracking the session time a learner is in a course if they close the course using the browser's X button.
If learners close the course using a button with Storyline "Exit Course" trigger, time in session is tracked correctly with the LMS. Guess what? Leaners often skip this.
Anyone know the SCORM 2004 commands the Exit Course trigger executes?
The exit course trigger attempts to exit the course and close the browser window. Typically, it directs the end user back to the LMS. Now, when testing in SCORM Cloud, the session time is recorded regardless of whether the "Exit course" trigger is used or the X button is clicked. Have you tried testing your course in SCORM Cloud to see if the issue persists there?
You can enable the LMS debug mode for your course to see which events are logged right when you exit your course using the "Exit Course" trigger.
There also isn't a fixed action associated with the "Exit Course" trigger. The behavior of this trigger is defined in the 'lms/scormdriver.js' file in the published output and can be modified according to your needs.
This section in the file is where you can specify the behavior of the trigger:
If you're comfortable using Javascript, you can also check out this community post where members shared Javascript solutions that modified the behavior of this trigger.

Yes we have.
Course: 7 slides, has quiz, results slide is slide #5.
SCORM Cloud:
Therefore, I an assuming the Exit Course trigger is somehow posting the session time.
Hi Todd,
Happy to help!
