Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!

Hi All,

I have been working with SCORM Cloud, Articulate, and Cornerstone for months trying to get to the bottom of why the number of attempts doesn't work in Cornerstone SCORM 2004 reporting.  I finally give up as this is the answer from Cornerstone:

“The engineer said to pass on:
cmi.exit = “normal”;
adl.nav.request = “exitAll”;
API_Obj.Terminate(“” );

The line adl.nav.request = “exitAll”; is necessary on CSOD. Without explicitly doing "exitAll" like this, CSOD defaults nav request to "suspendAll", which results in bookmarking rather than incrementing the attempt number on subsequent launch.

As we said earlier, per the SCORM standard, it looks like it's one or the other: exiting (clear bookmarks and start another attempt next launch) or suspending (bookmark and continue this attempt next launch).”

Basically, they are saying if you want people to pick up where the left off in an eLearning, then you can't get number of attempts in Cornerstone.  It all has to do with the way Cornerstone is reading the SCORM file, and they have chosen to read it differently then most LMS's.  For example, I uploaded it to SAP Litmos and SCORM cloud, and I can see the number of attempts easily in reporting.  

I just wanted to pass this information along in case anyone else has worked on this problem as well.
