Courses not COMPLETING on LMS
Multiple LMS's are not updating the "completion" or "success" status of recent courses published with Storyline 360 (latest build)
The course completion is set via a trigger:When timeline starts on this slide, complete course as complete/passed
and the publish settings are:
- SCORM 1.2 (still fails with SCORM 2004 (2nd Ed))
- Reporting = Passed/Incomplete
- Tracking = "Using triggers"
This problem has been seen on my client's LMS and I have now tested on SCORM CLOUD and see exactly the same problem.
Interestingly - if I put some older courses built with an older version of SL360, then these work fine and as expected, and were built and published using exactly the same settings.
It feels like a recent build of SL360 has broken this and introduced a bug... but I cant see a recent discussion about this so Im thinking I cant be the only one in the world to spot this! What else could it be though?

This is still a bug with the most current version of Storyline 360 using the "modern" player as of writing this post. Using the course completion trigger does not work when publishing SCORM to LMS. The workaround offered by Andrew Hanley does work. Thank you Andrew for the help!
Hello Rabi, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊
I appreciate you reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing as well. We have had a couple of bugs specific to the completion trigger, but they have been resolved.
Do you know what version of Storyline you're using? You can check by going to Help > About Articulate Storyline. We are currently on Build 3.59.26702.0 of Storyline 360. You can read all of the details here.
I'd like you to share your project file with our support engineers to investigate what's happening with your permission. You can share it privately by uploading it here. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.

Hello Leslie,
Thank you for the warm welcome! I am currently using the version you specified (see attached). I created a case in the link you provided, thank you for providing the link.

Wrapping this up for the benefit of others: trigger actions are dependent upon listing order. So, in this case, if there are multiple triggers associated with the end of the timeline, the trigger for course completion needs to be at the top of the list. Thanks to Articulate staff for the fast and friendly response! https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-The-Order-in-Which-Triggers-Are-Executed

This bug is still present. No matter how the scorm file is saved or where the triggers are it still does not show completion on our LMS. I tested it on scorm cloud and still does not report. Please can you offer guidance.

Hello,
I'm having this same issue. Users are passing the assessment but the LMS (Cornerstone) is not marking it as complete. Is this something you could help troubleshoot?
Thanks,
Lauren Hi Lauren,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing an issue with the LMS not marking the assessment as complete.
Have you tested your course in SCORM Cloud? If the issue persists, then we'll be happy to take a look at your file to see what's going on. You can share your file with us here or privately in a support case. If the course works properly in SCORM Cloud, then the issue is likely within your LMS, and I'd recommend reaching out to them for assistance.
I hope this helps!

Hi,
Yes, we have tested this in Scorm cloud and also tried to replicate it in our LMS but have not had success. It happens with only some users, not all. We've also looked at the browser to see if that's consistent, which it is not.

Hi Lauren, are you sure your Storyline version is up to date? A bug with LMS not showing as complete was fixed in a patch a while ago.
The only other thing I can think of is to vary your completion criteria and/or SCORM version, to see if the issue can be worked around via one of those methods.Good luck! :)

Hi David,
What version of SCORM are you targetting? I know that 1.2 probably wont be able to complete in the way you set out above (I think?!) whereas SCORM 2004 4th Ed might.
-- EDIT-- sorry. I just saw you already answered my question - SCORM 1.2!
Yeah, I dont think you can have this within 1.2
The call "cmi.core.lesson_status" will be different for 2004. Instead you will want to use "cmi.completion_status" and "cmi.success_status" to give you the ability to seperate out the complete / passed values as you need.
