LMS is netdiimensions EKP

1. Can this error be due to timeout?

2. Is it possible to set timeout per course?

Hi Tee!

I'd recommend checking out our article on troubleshooting LMS/Articulate issues, specifically the section on running your course through SCORM Cloud (found in sub-heading #3). That will allow you to determine whether there is an issue with your actual course, or if the issue lies within your LMS. It's also a good idea to discuss the error with your LMS team.
