Is there a way to test resume using Articulate Review?

Hello Frances!  Not at all-  it's a great question.  Currently, Articulate Review will keep your place in a course if you navigate to another tab within that course link (like Feedback, for example).  If you revisit a course during another browsing session or after closing it out, it will start at the beginning without reference to your Resume settings.

I can see how that function would be useful for you since Articulate Review is such a quick and easy publishing option.  I'll submit a feature request on your behalf, and in the meantime, a great way to test out all features would be to give it a test run in your web or LMS environment.  The resume behavior should work well there!  

I'm having issues with the Resume feature from my LMS.

I'm hoping there is an easy solution.

For some reason the courses I have to work on and to put into Storyline are long and will only be on 1 slide.

I have the Player Settings set to ask a user to resume. And I have the slide set to resume saved state.

When a person is half way through and leaves and comes back, it is restarting the slide from the start.  We tried this on SCORM Cloud too, and it has the same issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Thanks Crystal, great to know you have put in a feature request.  That would be a wonderful addition, as it would save a lot of time for the ID and for the reviewer.  Many thanks.

Hi Kyle, I came across a similar issue recently and it was because I was publishing in Scorm 1.2.  I was advised to publish in Scorm 2004 4th Edition as it handles a lot of data.  That worked for me, so you might want to try that.  

Kyle, having read your comment again, it sounds like you have only 1 very long slide.   Resume will only take the user back to the timeline start of the slide they were on when they exited.  It is not able to remember where in the slide the user was.   Hope that helps. 

Thanks Frances, That does help.  

I came back to this thread because I'm trying to test engage files, and it won't let me choose resume or restart.  I just keeps remembering the visited slides.

Hi Kyle, 

Are the Engage files embedded in your Storyline course? 

Since Engage interactions are treated as web objects in Storyline, your imported interaction will play as a standalone interaction (even though it's embedded in your Storyline course). If the resume feature in the interaction is enabled, learners will see a prompt asking if they want to resume where they left off when they view the interaction slide more than once.

So before importing an Articulate Engage interaction into Articulate Storyline, we recommend disabling the resume feature in the interaction.

Here's a bit more information and some steps to help you out if you've already inserted the Engage into Storyline. 

Thanks for your reply Ashley.

Since I was viewing in Articulate REVIEW, I was not seeing a prompt (same
for the whole course that was set to prompt a user - Flash and HTML
Published formats).

I followed your link and read through, and There is not an option in the
interaction properties for turning of resume. Maybe it's because of the
type of Conversation interaction.??? Attached is the screenshot.

Would any of these other settings make a difference?

Hi Kyle,

Looks like you responded via email and as such attachments won't come through. Sorry about that - but if you visit this page using the "view" button in the email notification you can upload an attachment! 

Within Engage 360 you'll modify this setting from the Player -> Other as shown here:

Ok, Thanks.

I won't need to upload the image now, it was just showing that the instruction I was linked to was not showing that option in the interaction options.

Are those just older instructions?  They never mentioned the player.

Thanks,

- Kyle

Sorry - looks like I shared the Storyline 1 version. But Storyline 2 here is being updated to include Storyline 360. Right now the directions for Articulate 360 are included in this article.
