Articulate PPT - Exit Course Trigger
Hello,
is there any way to add an Exit Course trigger to the last slide of a PowerPoint presentation? Say a button or slide trigger like in Storyline 360. I need to publish the PPT to LMS format b...
Thank you for your help, Becca.
My client does have an Exit button on the top right of the player. I assume it is the tab feature you have outlined above. It looks like the Exit button executes a window.close() javascript function that will close a browser tab only if the browser tab was previously opened by a javascript command.
The LMS this presentation plays on does not fire up a SCO in a new browser tab therefore cannot close the presentation properly in this way.
I believe the bare minimum requirement for a SCORM1.2 compliant SCO is that it issues an LMSInitialize command on startup and an LMSFinish command on exit. I cannot find anyway for a Presenter published SCO to issue an LMSFinish command as a Storyline published SCO does. This leads me to believe that Presenter SCORM1.2 published SCOs are not SCORM1.2 compliant.
As you have suggested, I recommended my client import the PowerPoint presentation into Storyline as that solves the issue.
It appears everything about the Presenter publish function looks identical to the Storyline publish function. I find it odd that the architects of the Presenter had decided to drop the LMSFinish command from Presenter. It cannot be that they had forgotten it and must be on purpose. It would be interesting to know why that decision was made.
Again, thanks for your help.
