I have a course with 6 modules (sections) in it. When the user completes a module a checkmark appears next to the title of that module. This works fine while the user is in the course. However, if they leave and come back there is no way for the course to know that he/she has already completed that module (set the variable).
Is there a way to communicate with the LMS that the user has completed that module so that when they return it will already be marked?
Thanks. I'm familiar with the Bookmarking feature. But what I'm inquiring about is more than just going to the last page visited. I'd like for the variables the user triggered to be remembered via communication with the LMS. Not sure if that's possible with Storyline.
As long as the modules are launched from the same machine and the user has not cleared their cache, previous state and variables should restore on subsequent visits.
What if multiple users share the same machine? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that anyone who takes the course will have the settings from the previous user.

Hi CK1!
Be sure that you have the resume behavior set. There is also a similar and helpful conversation here that may be able to assist you.
You are welcome to test in SCORM Cloud to compare and help identify where the issue lies as well.

Right - that's why I shared the thread as well.

Yes, you are correct. Your LMS does not do this either I suppose?
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in with their solutions and suggestions.
