Inactivity and timeout

Is it possible to have the course "timeout" and kick you back to the LMS when a student have been passive for a period of time?

We use SCORMcloud to host our courses and they have a built-in time tracker that shows us how much time they've spent on a course. Sometimes a student opens up the course and they won't exit it until they are done with it, resulting in sessions often longer than ~50 hours. They didn't spend that time on the course, just a couple of minutes here and there.

I've asked Rustici Software about this but there is nothing SCORMcloud can do. However, I've been told some of their customers use a "built-in" function in their authoring tool to have the course exit upon a time limit when idleing.

    This is something that can be done on most LMS's.

    On the LMS we use, as administrator I set a time limit for inactivity, after which the LMS logs the learner out.

    Hi there, Martin! Rise 360 doesn't have a feature that will send the learner back to the LMS after a period of inactivity. Hopefully, folks in the community can share other ideas with you!

    Hi Geoff, thanks for following up on this. There aren't any plans at this time to include a feature that detects inactivity or timeout. That being said, the community may chime in with solutions they've implemented for their LMS!
