Does Articulate Storyline 360 have a setting that allows the developer to put a minimum time spent on the course criteria or restriction such that if the learner spends less than a designated amount of time then the course is not considered or marked as complete?
If I wanted my learners to spend a minimum of 1 hour on the course, you can:
Create slides that take 5 minutes to complete. Since your navigation will be locked, there is no way for your learners to skip the content. Having 12 of these slides will mean that your learners will spend at minimum 1 hour to complete the course.
You can then track completion using % of slides viewed, or you can use a completion trigger at the very end of your course to mark the course as complete.
Yes, very helpful. What happens when learners don't exit the course correctly? What would happen if they walked away for a long time and came back? Or, left the course without getting to the completion trigger or end of course and then come back into the course? Does their time progress get recorded or tracked if they exit incorrectly and come back? Or, does that time tracking information get lost?
What would happen if they walked away for a long time and came back?
Unless you have a person personally observing them, it is very difficult to prevent this, or even to know if it has happened. Contact time and online presentation really aren’t compatible.
Oh yes, of course. What I meant was, does the system crash? Or, how does the system behave if the learner doesn't exit correctly and then comes back? Learners in the corporate world typically get interrupted a lot. I'm just wondering if the software correctly tracks time if the learner just doesn't exit correctly or comes in and out on different devices.

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for reaching out!
You can do this in Storyline 360 by setting the navigation of your course to Restricted or Locked and then controlling the duration of your slides so that they meet the duration of your time requirement. Here's an example:

Hope this helps!
