Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!

Hello,

I just wanted to provide a helpful tip that I just discovered. If you are publishing to CSOD and your Articulate course content is not showing, or showing as a blank screen a solution I found was to uncheck the selection box that states "When running in LMS, ignore Flash cookie" this box is found in the "Player Properties" window.   This box, once unchecked will allow your course to play on mobile devices in the CSOD application.

Hello together,

I have a question regarding a published training. I prepared a training for a client and at first it worked quite well. But now after a month or two, it behaves funny. Participants have to click buttons ceveral times and sometimes it works and sometimes it just stops working at all. I also checked the source files and they looked ok. Is there anything what I can do about it? They use an internal Learning Management System to upload the files. Its name is Cornerstone. 

Thank you in advanced for your help!

Hello Gina - Are they viewing the material in a supported environment as specified here? Sounds like you still have the source file, so I would advise uploading to SCORM Cloud for comparison. This will help identify if the issue lies within the project or the LMS.

Hi!

I just edited a trigger on a button. It was mistakenly set to jump to "unassigned slide" and I set it to jump to the correct slide.

Will CSOD allow me to simply upload the new slides (like when I edit text on a slide) or am i going to have to reversion the course?

Thanks!

Hi!

   In CSOD or Articulate settings - does anyone know how to make the course automatically PAUSE a video when the learner clicks on another window? For example, if they are watching a video, we need it to pause if they open up their email tool. 

Thank you!

Hi Jaime,

Thanks for reaching out! It's  not a setting within Articulate so I'll defer to the group of Cornerstone experts here. Best of luck with your project.

There's a possible way to get this done using a bit of Javascript, a variable in Storyline, and a trigger to pause the timeline. If you're not comfortable with Javascript, it could be daunting to implement.

The script is described in this stackoverflow post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1060008/is-there-a-way-to-detect-if-a-browser-window-is-not-currently-active

You'd want to trigger something that incremented a number value in a storyline variable then use a "when variable changes, pause timeline" trigger.  This would let the browser window detect when focus is lost or the window goes into the background.  In a Javascript trigger that fires when the slide loads that you want to have the video pause:

var hidden = "hidden";

var player=GetPlayer();

// Standards:
if (hidden in document)
document.addEventListener("visibilitychange", onchange);
else if ((hidden = "mozHidden") in document)
document.addEventListener("mozvisibilitychange", onchange);
else if ((hidden = "webkitHidden") in document)
document.addEventListener("webkitvisibilitychange", onchange);
else if ((hidden = "msHidden") in document)
document.addEventListener("msvisibilitychange", onchange);
// IE 9 and lower:
else if ("onfocusin" in document)
document.onfocusin = document.onfocusout = onchange;
// All others:
else
window.onpageshow = window.onpagehide
= window.onfocus = window.onblur = onchange;

function onchange (evt) {
var v = "visible", h = "hidden",
evtMap = {
focus:v, focusin:v, pageshow:v, blur:h, focusout:h, pagehide:h
};

evt = evt || window.event;
if (evt.type in evtMap){

player.SetVar("yourNumberVariable",Number(player.GetVar("yourNumberVariable))+1);
}

}

// set the initial state (but only if browser supports the Page Visibility API)
if( document[hidden] !== undefined )
onchange({type: document[hidden] ? "blur" : "focus"});
}

It should. I believe the event listens for any focus event. So if the popup loses focus to another application, it should still fire the event. Haven't tested in awhile but I believe this is the way it worked with the blur:focus event. I'd expect the page visibility API to be an improvement since blur:focus is only used as a fallback.

Hello All,

I'm trying to figure out the properties for an exam. I want the user to launch the exam once. I want to capture the completion and score. If the user fails the exam, I do not want them to have the capability to re-launch that exam. I basically want to lock the exam after 1st attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Way to reach out to the community Sasha - they are pretty helpful and savvy for sure. Wanted to link to our discussion here as well.
