Resume function on Storyline files
Can someone explain roughly how the resume function in Storyline works? We have seen it worked across browsers in one LMS but not in another. By across browsers, I mean that I can start it in Firefo...
Hello Anne!
Good question; I'm happy to help share some insight on how the resume function works in Storyline!
When the learner reopens a course, it asks the LMS where they previously left off. The LMS sends the suspend data back to the course, and the course uses it to resume at the same point and in the same state as before. The suspend data is a compressed chunk of information sent to the LMS as a learner progresses through the course; this describes everything about the current state of the course, including the learner's responses, navigation history, object states, variable values, interaction results, and more.
You can find details on this topic below.
If the resume function works in one LMS but not in the other, this may point to an LMS issue. To confirm this further, you may want to test in another platform, like SCORM Cloud. I'd reach out to the LMS administrator for help on LMS issues.
If you require any further information, please let me know!
