Exit or Close Button?

Hey Tristan - nope Rise doesn't have that currently. So we can consider it, can you walk us through the need for it? Thanks!

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 for a close button. 

Tristan - can you record a Peek video of this behavior? Trying to understand why this is needed. 

Because in my mind either

1) Moodle opened a new tab with the course. User can go back to Moodle tab after course is done

or

2) Moodle opened a new window containing the course. User can close the window

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

+1 for this

+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?

Yes - that would work fine for me. Thanks Adam.

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
