Issues with resume on restart
Hi!
I have some issues with my E-learning made in Storyline, when published to LMS (SCORM 1,2). Many users experiences, that they cannot resume where they left off if they pause midway through the course and want to resume a day or two after. The course just starts over.
I have enabled the promote to resume on restart in the player and also chosen resume saved state for when revisiting, on all individual slides. We are using Compliancewire for LMS.
What can be the issue here?

SCORM 1.2 hat a limit of 4096 chars for the resume function - this is to small for many courses made with storyline
SCORM 2004.4 has a limit of 64000 chars - perhaps this would solve your problem

Thanks a lot, Jürgen! That could be the issue :) I will check it.
Do you know how to see the number of characters for one's E-learning?

here you can see the "resume" string
with javascript (or direct in the browser console)
lmsAPI.GetDataChunk()

(this is on the second ot third page of a course - no project variables -> 225 characters)

the length depends on
- the number of slides
- the number of project variables (used and possibly unused)
- if you use slide property "Resume saved state" / "Automatic decide"
and probably still from
- the number of changed build-in variables
- ...
@articulate: it would be nice if you could provide a documentation for the resume string - then it would be possible to analyze the .story file and determine the expected length of the resume string in advance
