Resume where you left off with content only module

Oct 18, 2018

Hi,

I have a module that is just informational slides. 

Users have to view all of the slides to complete the module. 

I need them to be able exit and come back later. 

I am publishing as follows:

SCORM 2004 2nd edition

Player is set to "Prompt to Resume".

However, it is not resuming.

Does this option work for content-only modules, or do I need to have quiz questions?

Thanks!

Hi Kristin!

Happy to help. Let's dive right in!

First, be sure you're testing the LMS output file within a learning management system. If you don't have one available to you, you can use SCORM Cloud. It's industry standard, and it's free!

Also, what version of Storyline did you use to build this content, and what web browser were you using?

Hi,

I am testing in an LMS.

Articulate Storyline 3. Chrome.

Thanks.

Hi Kristin!  Thanks for the details.  To answer your original question, no, you don't need quiz slides for the resume function to work properly.

I did a quick test with your settings, and I was able to exit and resume the course twice as expected.  Let me know if my course works on your end.

I have two ideas to start.  First, it's possible that your LMS is preventing resuming on this course.  Do you have other courses that resume properly?  Is there a setting in your LMS that controls what happens when a course is launched again?

Or, and maybe less likely, you could be exceeding the suspend data allowed in your LMS.  Storyline sends data to your LMS, and part of this data helps the course resume where a learner leaves off.  Here's more about this behavior.

As Alyssa mentioned, SCORM Cloud is a good environment to compare your course performance.  You can try uploading your content there, or share it with us and we can help with that step!
