Course complete trigger not working

Jul 22, 2020

A 4 slide course I am testing in my LMS will not mark completion using track by course complete trigger. I suspect it might be related to the July 21st Storyline 360 Build 3.42.22691.0? I was able to get the course to mark complete using number of slides. 

Here is the log from Scorm Cloud:

Hi Melanie, We're testing a fix for the Course Completion Trigger issue now. Timing on the release remains 'ASAP'. 

I just installed version 3.42.22724.0 (July 23, 2020), is the fix in this version? There is nothing about that in the release notes so I guess not yet.

Our courses are not completing either, both Rise and Storyline, even though I had update to the latest storyline and republished the courses, that still didn't help.  I have just updated the completion for the storyline courses to complete using the number of slides viewed. but this is not ideal.  The results slide didn't make a difference either.  ANy ideas?

Hi Stephanie!

Great question! You should see the index_lms.html located in the published output folder when publishing for LMS. If you don't, I'd recommend publishing the project again to get a fresh copy of the published output folder.

If you'd like us to take a look at your project, you can either attach it to this discussion or upload it to us in a support case.

Hi, Michael, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! ✨

Thank you for reaching out! 

My initial recommendation would be to test your course with SCORM Cloud. Check out this step-by-step article!

If it works as expected in SCORM Cloud, I would advise you to reach out to your LMS for more information. If you can share the name of the LMS you use, others in the community might offer suggestions as well. 

If you still see the same behavior in SCORM Cloud, my recommendation would be to open a support case here, so we can take a closer look at your settings.

Let me know if this works!
