Allow user to be able to rewind back on a slide, but not forward, until the whole slide has played
Is there a way to allow the user to be able to rewind back on a slide, but not forward, until the whole slide has played?
If there isn't, this would be the most beneficial feature to be added for our company! We have so much feedback from trainee asking to be able to rewind (they are not allowed to fast forward until it's played once, as the courses are legislative).
Chiming in on this thread - our organization also uses the conditional seekbar for compliance purposes. However, this can create a frustrating user experience and potential accessibility problems for any learner who needs to rewind slightly after missing content (due to workplace distractions, visual or auditory processing delays, etc.) and has to wait until the slide is complete to go back, find where they were in the slide, and then review what they missed. Is there any movement towards adding this feature?
Hi Lisa,
Happy to help!
There isn't a way to restrict the seekbar so that it can will only rewind the timeline, but one workaround that you can do is to enable the conditional seekbar for your course. With this option enabled, the seekbar is locked the first time learners view the slide, but will have full access to the seekbar as soon as they complete it. You can read more about this here:
I'll also let other members chime in to see if any of them have Javascript or CSS solutions that they can share to help you out!
Hi Joe
Thanks for coming back to me. Yes, the "Allow drag after completion" is what I use for all courses/modules currently. I'd be excited to see if there is a JavaScript or CSS solution!
Thanks again : )
