Limit attempts to complete a quiz / remember visited slides
Dear Learning Heroes,
is there a way to give a trainee no more than 10 attempts to complete a quiz? Where is the best place to set such a limit? In the training or the LMS?

If you set the Player Properties to Always resume, the user won't be able to restart the course. Thus, the course will remember which slides have been visited.
You can limit the user to 10 attempts at the quiz on the Results slide.
- Create a number variable with a default value of 0. This will be used to track how many times the user attempts and fails the quiz.
- Add a trigger to the Failure layer that adds 1 to the variable when the layer's timeline starts.
- Add a trigger that hides the Retry Quiz button when the layer's timeline starts with the condition that the variable = 10.
- When that happens, I suggest you also show a note that explains the user doesn't have any more attempts, and they have failed the course. Provide any other info they need, such as whether they need to contact the LMS folks and/or their manager.
Work with your LMS folks to determine what to use for tracking. For example, if you don't need to see the quiz data, you could add a Complete Course: Incomplete/Failed trigger on the Failure layer that runs after 10 attempts. Also put a Complete Course: Completed/Passed trigger on the Success layer. When you publish the course, set it to track via the completion triggers. (Note: You won't get the full quiz details if you do this. But it can indicate that the course is done.)
