How to detect or count a course launch or resume ?

Hi heroes, I wish to count the number of times a course has been launched. Can we use a trigger on course lauch or resume ? I'm thinking of using the Always Resume player setting. Any JavaSc...

As im building a custom resume page ( as the default is dreadfull ) im wondering if this might work...

Set the course to "Reset to Initial State"
Thus forcing a user on a resumed attempt to go to the first slide.
On that first slide build a slideLayer with the custom resume functionality...
If a user quits and restarts check if 'suspend_data' has any data... if so... the user has tried it before and thus gets the resume slideLayer.

From there he then can choose restart or resume and on resume he will be directed to the last visited page.

Why im doing this ? As we use custom code we need to ensure that that code is available as a user resumes.  Thus we have to copy that code onto each page of a course or add it to a Slide Master. Both setups i dont like... thus experimenting with a custom resume setup.

  • Math Notermans - Any luck on this? I was thinking of attempting to do the same thing. In my case, we're using SCORM 2004, so I started inspecting the scormdriver.js and it looks like there is a method to get the suspend_data value (SCORM2004_GetDataChunk()). Do you know if that is right (I don't have direct access to the LMS so it is difficult for me to test)? If so, what does it return in the case of a not resumed session? Null value?

 

Thanks so much!
