Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!

We use Passed/Incomplete for standalone tests with "Always Resume." We add triggers to the Results slide to "Complete" the module (on both the Fail and Pass layers). We also disallow self-registrations in the LMS to prevent the learners from reregistering and relaunching the course another time from their completed transcript.

This all results in learners showing as "Incomplete" until they get to the Results slide. They can start and stop and pick up where they left off. As soon as they reach the Results slide we have added triggers to "Complete" the course both on the Pass and the Fail layers. If they try to reregister and relaunch they still end up on the Results slide. End result is only 1 test attempt allowed.

We looked at using the Test Engine, but when we need a standalone test we have found it to be easier and faster to import all of the questions from a TXT file which our SME sends us.

We've had no luck using the timer function in SL. This may be specific to our version of Cornerstone. We've found that the learner's connection to the LMS ends around 45 minutes more or less no matter what we choose. At this point the learner may still think they're taking the module but results never get reported to the LMS.
