I have a situation where some of my users work in part of a Factory that does not have WiFi. When they get a break in production they would like to complete an e-learning course developed in Articulate. At the end of the shift they take the the laptop back to the office where there is WiFi and would like to upload the exam results automatically to the server so exam results can be tracked and certificates downloaded. I was wondering is this possible.
I'm not a programmer so I can't offer any practical solution. However, I a few years ago one of our customers did work with NGOs where they had remote laptops that couldn't connect and had an issues similar to yours.
If I recall, they ran some sort of virtual server on the laptops. Users would access the course, when they were offline, it stored the info, and then when they went back online, the info was passed to their database or LMS.
That's all I know, though. :)
Hopefully one of our more tech savvy users have some ideas to move that one forward.
