My question is a rather technical one. When using "tracking progress and completion using the number of slides viewed," is this tracking data saved in the suspend_data?
For instance, if I have a Storyline 3 course with 85 slides and at about slide number 80 the course overruns the LMS's suspend_data limit, would the student still be marked as completing the course when they reach slide 85.
I ask because our customer's LMS runs SCORM 1.2 and is requesting more and more complex training courses.
Great question! Yes, the learner's progress on slides viewed is stored within suspend_data.
In your example, the learner would still be marked as completing the course when they reach Slide 85 if the course overruns the LMS's suspend_data limit at Slide 80. Suspend_data is only used for suspending and resuming the course. However, the only impact of overrunning the LMS's suspend_data limit at Slide 80 is that if the learner suspends and resumes the course after Slide 80, they will likely resume back to Slide 80. Overrunning the suspend_data limit should not have any impact on recording completion.
Please let me know if you have additional questions!
