I've built a course and am using a menu and some variables. I understand that scorm would keep the bookmarking. So my question is if you had entered my name and a few items or entry points, when I exit the course in the middle would the course or LMS remember the variables for that course. Is it a publish setting or something else that I would have to do.
As I understand it (& I could be wrong...) The courses all play in a browser window so StoryLine makes use of cookies/cache for data that should be there "on resume". However, if your users clear their cookies/cache between settings, the prior session info will be lost.
Doug, I've done some basic testing with SCORM Cloud with simple variables.
After exiting the course, I noticed it kept the learner's name (variable) and a few other variables I had in place. Keep in mind this was not extensive testing just a quick check a few weeks ago.
The amount of information that will be maintained, of course has to do with the Maximum Suspend Data size setting (via LMS).
I just published a course that used 40 variables and it saved the values of each variable regardless of whether or not I cleared my cache.
I published the course to an LMS and it worked well. No matter how many times I left the course and came back (same hour, few days later), the variables kept their values.
