Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
I know this is a fairly old thread, but wondering if anyone can advise:
I am creating modules in Storyline 3 and will be working with a team that use Cornerstone for their LMS. I have been using Litmos which has its own Exit button, but for Cornerstone, I'm wondering if I use the Exit course trigger if it will "talk" to Cornerstone and close the course.
Or are there other considerations?
The course will close with that trigger, but it will not mark the course complete if you are wondering that. That must be set up when you go to the publish setting. For us, we add a somewhat larger exit button directly on the summary/conclusion slide with that exit trigger because it is easier to push/tap and exit on mobile devices over the tiny exit button at the top of the browser tab. Most of our team is on mobile. So they can either use the added button with the trigger, or use the browser's exit button.
Sorry, just noting the difference between "Complete Course" and "Exit Course" as I clearly missed that little wrinkle when I responded earlier.
It's worth noting there is more than one way to skin this training solution. (Items #1 and 2 are most common in our organization)
1. If you already have graded quiz questions and a results slide, "submit results" (assuming learner has "passed") will communicate a course completion (and communicate any item responses using SCORM 2004 3rd Ed). This can be used to document knowledge transfer if using any sort of pre/post test approach. If you implemented some interactivity and want to know what the learner responded for each question, #1 is for you.
2. A simple attestation slide (" I have completed the course...") can also accomplish this same thing using a single check box, a submit interaction trigger and a results slide with pass set to 0%. #2 works if you have a compliance partner who wants to be able to say "Learner X said they understood and completed required information".
3. If you are attempting to use "slide views" there are potential headaches as Will points out. #3 works if you want to indicate learner "saw" everything and you want to be hated by the learning administrator who has to argue with learners about going back through the whole course to locate the one slide they missed to get the course to register as "completed".
4. If the course is linear or at least set up that the only way a learner can get to the last slide is by completing EVERYTHING, you could get away with that "Complete Course" trigger. #4 works best as long as the learner just needs to get to the last slide for us to know they are done.
