Blocking Course Progress on LMS Communication Loss
I did, many, many years ago when I was using AICC over much more fragile networking. I set the course to "ping" the LMS at regular intervals and then used back-end logic to allow the learner to proceed if the LMS was still "there." The way I did it was by retrieving the current completion status and then sending that same status back to the LMS. If the LMS didn't respond, the course would display a similar error message.
If the built-in SCORM function lmsAPI.GetStatus is still available, you could do something similar in Storyline. If the LMS responds with anything other than what is expected (last time I checked several years ago, the responses were as listed below; Storyline at the time was transposing the letter response from the LMS to a number), you could then display the error message.
- Passed
- Completed
- Failed
- Incomplete
- Browsed
- Not Attempted
