Custom Course Timer in SL 360
Though the latest release of Articulate Storyline 360 or 3 came with a bunch of new features, there are still a few that are not available natively. One of them is a Course timer, which allows learners to view the time they have spent in a particular course. This feature can still be achieved using some smart work-around.
Thought this would be cool to share, so that other with similar requirement can be benefited as well.
Here's a quick video on how to create a Custom Course timer:
If you need to take a deeper look on how it's done.
Feel free to check out my blog from the below link where you can also download the sample source that I have created.

Why does Storyline not have a built in timer. You guys need to catch up with the times, even Lectora is ahead of you guys..Lol

Richard,
Storyline does have a timer for the quiz. It is set in minutes. You will find it in the Results slide of a quiz.

Ya thanks! But that timer will not work for us and our courses. We need a timer to time hours and one that will time out if the student sits idle in the course.

Hi! Thank you! :) Does it work only for one screen? It's possible to create it for the whole course?

It works for whole course.

What do you think: if I create this mechanism on the master slide - it will be works? Or it's nessesery to repeat these layers on each slide?
- alfagodwinomegaCommunity Member
You just need to do it on the master slide.

This is brilliant. Not a commenter, but this has to be said: great work Godwin, thank you so much for this. I used it to create a countdown timer (the reverse basically of yours, and would've taking a hell of a lot more time to figure it out from scratch, so thank you!)

Thank you Godwin, mine look different in the end but the tutorial video was super helpful to understand how to create a countdown :)
