Decoding suspend_data Field: Is It Possible?
Yes, you can easily decode the suspend data. Rise uses the lzwCompress library. https://www.npmjs.com/package/lzwcompress
Here is a CodePen example on how you can decode it. https://codepen.io/John-Pinkster/pen/qBzENJR
Word of caution: don’t try and update this data as the Rise course logic will just override what you put in there.
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.
Hi Phil,
"As for completion and question level data that is sent separately using Scorm."
Please can you elaborate on this.
He is just saying that there are different data elements (variables) within SCORM for sending completion and question level data. For example, completion status is sent using cmi.core.lesson_status in SCORM 1.2 and cmi.completion_status & cmi.success_status in SCORM 2004. Storyline courses send question level data inside cmi.core.suspend_data (SCORM 1.2) or cmi.suspend_data (SCORM 2004).
