How does Storyline Resume?
Marcus, I think what you mean is that you have multiple learners taking the course on the same computer? if so you're definitely going to have this problem, without them accessing an LMS version.
The most brutal solution is to set the SL player to 'Never resume', and have a very clear menu system that easily allows learners to recall where they were, and select that section.
A much more elegant solution would be programmatic: you could build a login page at the start of your project, and fill an SL variable with (let's say) their email address that they enter. Then you know who they are. It's a start but only a small step on a long journey..
As they progress through your course for (say) each section you could fill a progress variable, but trouble is you'd need a progress variable at each point, for each user.
When anybody restarts, you could set a few conditions in a trigger- testing who they are, and their progress variables as set, then jump them to that latest set point.
All in all? It's probably not worth the effort to do this!!
I'm facing this issue and am willing to tackle it. When you say "Progress variable", are you referring to the data put out by "SetDataChunk"? I am saving this value to an SQL table, and recalling it using GetDataChunk, however it does not cause the Module to resume. The module does run the GetDataChunk function prior to starting, but proceeds to start at the beginning. Thoughts?
