Advancing back to LMS control after presentation is viewed...

May 08, 2012

I am waiting to hear back from my LMS provider, but I am having a problem with publishing a presenter file in my LMS and once all of the files have been viewed, the presentation will not advance back to the LMS to complete the course.  In other words, after the last slide it just sits there and doesn't advance and doesn't close the course in the LMS.  Trying to figure out what I need to put in there to communicate that the course is over for the LMS to take over its last part.  It publishes fine, but doesn't go anywhere after the last slide.l  Any ideas?

Hey Marcus!

If you find that your LMS isn't updating the status correctly, you may be able to workaround this LMS limitation by using one of the following methods:
*  If you are tracking a quiz in a presentation, add an extra slide after the quiz.  Closing the browser window in some Learning Management Systems will cause the LMS to terminate communication before the data can be saved.  By adding an extra slide after the quiz, it will give the LMS more time to process the LMSCommit call, which should alleviate this issue.
*  Instruct your users to click the Exit tab in a Presenter presentation or the Finish button in a Quizmaker quiz to close the content item rather than clicking the "X" in the upper right corner of the Web browser.  This will ensure that the LMS exits and saves the data properly.
