Any Known Issues with Slide Only View?
May 08, 2012
Hi everyone. I am not a fan of how players look, so when I have built my last few courses I have disabled the controls and opted for 'Slide Only'. To give learners control over where they go, I have made use of hyperlinks to create home keys and menus pages that I have built into the design of the courses. (One reason why I love the new 'states' function in the new Storyline ... you can create some nifty 'response' actions.)
One thing I have noticed, however, is when I activate the 'pick up where you left off' functionality, returning to the course can cause the screens to get into a guddle, and the hyperlinks don't take me where I have set them up to go to. Clearing the browser cache sorts this out, but I don't want to have to do this every time (and I certainly don't want learners to either). Has anyone else had this issue?
Also, none of my courses have been in an LMS yet. Given the 'guddle' issue above, I am now wondering if this causes any problems with LMS reporting. (I don't have one, so can't test this.) Again, if anyone has encountered this, I would be grateful of any advice.

Hi James,
That doesn't sound like anything I'm familiar with. Would you like to send us your files to see if we can reproduce what you're describing?
Hi James.
Resume works off of a cookie when viewing outside of an LMS. If you have a larger course, you may need to right lick the presentation and adjust your local flash storage to unlimited to get the resume to function correctly. An LMS isn't limited by a cookie so you would not experience that. You might experience an issue if your LMS is SCORM 1.2 and places a limit on the amount of data it allows for the resume functionality.
Thanks for those responses, Justin and Peter.
Peter, a member of Articulate staff has already looked at the files and thinks they are fine, so I just thought I would check if anyone had the same issue. Many thanks for the offer, though.
Justin, that's very helpful background info. I shall try that next time I publish.
Have a lovely weekend, both of you.
Thanks, James! Same to you
