Time delay with Storyline / SCORM

Hi there, I would like to look at spaced learning options within Storyline/ SCORM. Does anyone know if it is possible to have a time delay in what a learner is shown?

For example, after they have finished a section of the learning, is it possible to store a date marker of some sort (possibly in the SCORM setup) which, when they open the learning again at a later stage, can create a comparison between the current time and said marker to activate a new section in the learning?

  • I had to create a course, that on first launch, grabbed the current date and set the actionDate to the current + 3.

    On each subsequent launch, it compared the actionDate to the current date to determine what comes next.

    Is that what you mean?

      Exactly what I mean. I wanted to make sure whether this is possible. I'm a bit new at this, is this then set up using Java Script in the LMS or the course itself? 

  • As Russell says this is not part of the scorm model, but you can use javascript to grab a date and then grab the current date when the course loads.

    I have done this for a client who wanted the users to be given a day and then a week before a retake.

    Thank you for sharing the question.

    I am also exploring the same.

    May I request to please share the JS or SL file that will help trigger this interaction?

    Thanks in advance.
