Decoding suspend_data Field: Is It Possible?
Hello Community,
I’m working with SCORM files generated by Rise 360, and I’m curious about the suspend_data field and its role in tracking learner progress. Specifically:
- Is it possible to decode the suspend_data field? If so, are there recommended programming approaches for decoding or decompressing this data (like base64 decoding, JSON parsing, etc.)?
- If the data isn’t directly decoded or decompressed, how does SCORM interpret the data for tracking progress? For instance, what mechanisms allow SCORM to understand which parts of the suspend_data reflect progress, quiz answers, or other interactions?
Any insights, experiences, or resources on handling the suspend_data field in a SCORM environment would be really appreciated!
Thanks so much for any help!

I will leave the decoding bit for others to explain if it is possible.
In terms of the LMS, there is no need for the LMS to understand the bookmarking data. The bookmarking data is passed to the LMS and transferred back and is not read.
As for completion and question level data that is sent separately using Scorm.
