Articulate - LMS Resuming in the wrong place

Feb 07, 2013

Hi All - I have a presentation that no matter how far the person has gone in the class, if they close the course and come back to it later, the Resume feature always takes them back to slide #50.  Slide 50 is question #2 of a quiz, but there are other quizzes prior to it and after it that with content in between. Our LMS guy says Articulate is communicating ok with Saba, and I made sure Articulate is set to Resume and Ignore Flash Cookies.  We've checked the quizzes, and they are all the same as far as settings.  We are stymied.  Any ideas?

This was the communication between the course and the LMS.

Hi Colleen,

Would you mind testing your course in SCORM Cloud to help us determine if the issue is Articulate related or if it's on your LMS's side? If it appears in SCORM Cloud as well, we'd be happy to take a closer look at what might be going on. If you can't replicate the issue in SCORM Cloud, it's probably an issue that you'd want to take to your LMS team. The articles here and here may also help clear up common LMS issues.

Let us know!

Thanks,

Christine

Hello! I never did find out why that was happening. We wondered about a few things, though. We had some slides with graphics on them we created in Articulate Engage, and our LMS didn't seem to like those. Also, our presentation was very long (it really should have been broken down into smaller modules) so maybe the length of it had something to do with it. We eventually moved to a different LMS where we found similar content to ours so we just used that instead.

Hi Jessica and Colleen!  Colleen-  thanks so much for the update; it's always helpful to understand where things were left and if they were resolved.  Just a heads up:  Replying via email will include your signature with contact information in the public forum.  You're welcome to edit it out if you'd like!

Jessica - can you give a little more detail about your courses?  

  • What is the average slide count?  Also, do you have a lot of quiz questions?  
  • And what SCORM version are you choosing?

I'm curious if maybe the suspend data is being exceeded.  You can read more about that here.

I'm happy to do some testing if you'd like to share your zipped Articulate Package (instructions here) with me.
