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 ...
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.
Hello BomL97,
Phil is correct. Rise 360 compresses suspend data to avoid exceeding data limits some learning management systems impose. As a result, the suspend_data string in an LMS debug log isn't human-readable, so you won't be able to decipher it.
