This may seem like a very basic question that I should know but I don't want to take a chance.
I have a Storyline that I have published as a scorm 1.2 package. I have deployed it and about 40 of 150 people have completed it. A few people have pointed out 1 fairly serious error that was missed in the QA process.
Can I update the package and reload it without losing the completion scores for those who have already done it?
You'll want to check with your LMS team to confirm, but as an example within Articulate Online, as long as the file name is the same - all the reporting information will be kept.
The score should stay until they open it again, if your LMS doesn't put it into Review mode then it may overwrite because the resume data will be discarded by the new package.
Phil could you say that one more time for me? I am not quite getting it. It sounds like they will lose their complete status if they reopen the package.
Sorry Tim, If you allow the user to view the course after they have completed it then it should be opened in review mode (this ensures the content is viewed but the score is not overwritten). Some LMS's do not use review mode so scores get overwritten each time.
As far as resume data, an updated Storyline course will discard resume data from an old course.
I seem to remember that you use Moodle, this has been fixed in Moodle so completed scorms will be opened in review mode, not far how back the code was passed Dan can probably answer that one. You could also force new attempt but the user would not be able to resume. Hope that is a bit clearer.

Ashley/Phil;
thank you for the responses.

I took a chance on it and it seemed to work well.
Yes I use moodle. We are still on 1.97 but I have a 2.6 install up. Just waiting to get things moved over.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for the update Tim and I'm glad things are working now as expected. Let us know if you need anything else!
