I haven't seen an option for this anywhere. Am I missing something?

Hi Adam, I can see where you're coming from, but on a mobile device, you don't see the tabs so it's not obvious or intuitive how to get back. You get to the end and then it's like cool now what, now I'm stuck. A large proportion of our audience isn't IT savvy at all, so we have to ensure the UX is very intuitive. I haven't played around with a window containing a course so I will look at that. Not sure how that affects the responsiveness. Also, it will reduce the screen real estate due to the padding of the moodle frame. Thanks

Just another perspective on the rationale for this. A lot of our users don't complete courses in a single pass, they need to be able to save their state and resume later (cmi.core.exit/cmi.exit == "suspend" + LMSFinish/Terminate). It's not intuitive that closing a browser window will save state. You wouldn't expect this if you were part way through an airline ticket purchase for example, why would you assume it for your eLearning? For state to be saved reliably across LMS and be resumable, up until completion we would need a way to exit and set the exit status to "suspend" and after completion an exit button that exited normally. Just lastly, please don't make the exit button close the window. It's not the prerogative of the scorm activity to do this, the LMS chooses whether a scorm package is loaded in a new window and can close or navigate away accordingly when it receives a call to LMSFinish/Terminate. Thanks in advance

Hi Adam, We use e-learning modules inside moodle LMS. From a user's perspective, how do they get back to the LMS once they have finished the module? All our current modules have a close button that closes that window and then they are back to the course page. Thanks

+1. I need this too. Our content opens in same window as LMS and the exit/finish command is needed to submit any data and then return the user to the LMS.

Cool. If we attach a close command to a button block, will that work for you folks?

Hi Benjamin!

I saw you also asked about this on the Peek video I created but I wanted to pop my response in here too! The Exit course that you'll see at the top in an LMS export is designed to return you to the LMS.

If you're exporting for no LMS - web only, you can use the Blocks button option and that'll place an exit functionality at the point of your choice in the course. That will close the window/tab that the course is being viewed in. You'll see that around the 1:10 mark in the Peek video.

Let us know if you need anything else! 😀

Hi guys, has anyone else been having issues with the Exit Course button not working in Rise? I've been creating a series of Rise courses and uploading them to our LMS. The first five I created work fine, but for anything I've exported in the last few days, the Exit Course button just does nothing when pressed, on PC and mobile. I haven't changed my Export settings or course structure at all.

Can anyone shed some light on this or had a similar experience?

Thanks
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,

Thanks so much for bringing this up. We're seeing the same behavior you're describing, so we've logged it as a possible bug. For now, you'll need to close the browser manually to exit the course.

I’ll let you know as soon as we have an update on this issue. Thanks so much again for letting us know about this, and I’m sorry if it’s slowing you down!

Hi ILED,

Take a look at Arlyn's video here and Adam shared a forum discussion about it here.

Hope that helps!

Hi Jacob,

Have you taken a look at the information Adam shared here on the Exit Course button?

Let me know if you're having any issues with that! I'm happy to help. 😀

Hi

We are finding that even with the addition of a button - "Exit the Course (LMS only)" - the completion data does not feed back to our LMS. We are left with an in progress course, which we cannot revisit once closed?

Can you please explain why this is?

Thank you

Hi Hannah,

What LMS are you using? Have you reached out to the LMS admin to see if there is a specific setting you need to use? You may also want to test the course in SCORM Cloud and compare how it behaves there with your LMS.
