Reset the progress of all users in a course which is published as web
Jan 22, 2018
We have created an course for a customer. This course was published as web version because the customer has no lms. Every employee has to complete this course once a year. We have set the course to "prompt to resume" so everytime the user opens the course he can jump to the completion page of the course.
This brings up the following problem:
Supposed an user has completed the training in the year 2017. He now has to finish the training also in 2018. If he now opens the course in the browser he then gets prompted if he wants to continue or to restart as the cookie is still alive. If he clicks continue, he jumps to the last page and the training then will be completed without having the user to do the whole course.
So is there any possibility to either delete the cookies or to enforce a restart for all users? e.g. is there a possiblity to change the name of the cookie in the code of the course or maybe an id we can change to say the browser that the old cookie isn't active anymore or cannot be used and the user has to start anew. Or maybe a Javascript command we can use to delete the cookie.
Thank you very much
Best regards
Mark

If you add the year to the course name and republish the course each year with the updated year, I believe the cookies won't work for old versions as the url will change. If they want to continue this process, you would need provide the customer with published versions for future years, or they would need to come back to you year after year for a new version.
But seriously. Annual certification training without a LMS is going to be a manual process somewhere along the line; the course itself isn't designed to do this. There are plenty of cheap web-based LMS solutions, and many systems have some sort of recertification automation.
Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir. I'll get off my soapbox.
Hi Christian,
thank you very much for your answer.
I agree with you and the customer also have the same course as lms. But as not all users can access the lms they needed to have a version for extra users.
