Quiz timer in Articulate 360 - easily bypassed by learners?

Thanks for the detailed testing, JonPlacebo​ and Dominik1​, and for the great input from ThomasHadley-78​ and PhilMayor​!

You’re right that the quiz timer currently only saves progress after a question is submitted, so total elapsed time isn’t enforced across sessions.

Phil, your suggestion about using a layer to commit resume data is a really creative approach, and thank you for sharing that.

Showing a layer or trigger can sometimes prompt Storyline to save progress more often, which may help reduce the impact of the issue.

However, it doesn’t fully prevent it since the timer still only runs while the learner is actively in the course. If they exit before an interaction is recorded, that time isn’t captured, and the timer resumes from the last saved point.

I’ve shared all your feedback and ideas with our product team as a feature request for a more reliable, continuous timer, and we’ll update this thread if we have any news.
