Saving Progress of Video when Exiting Course
I really wish Articulate would address this problem. We often have long video's incorporated into our courses and regularly have customer's that complain about having to re-watch the video upon resuming.
We've learned to try to design the courses to have smaller video segments, but this is not always possible.
The work-around of having a Save button point to a save slide is also not very practical when watching a video and then suddenly having to exit (either forced or not). In our in-house developed SCORM player, we save the seek point into suspend_data every 1 minute, as well as the precise seek point when doing a clean exit. I really just don't understand why Articulate can't implement a similar approach of saving a slide's current state every minute or on a clean exit. They currently are sending session time updates every minute. Most LMS SCORM interfaces (aka Rustici) also buffer the SCORM data on the client side of the SCORM API to minimize network traffic, so any excuse of this causing additional network overhead seems moot.
A year later and this is still a very much needed feature. I have tried jumping to another slide following the instructions in this thread to no avail. I assume I am missing a command but just can't figure it out. Very frustrating! Beginning to wonder if Lectora offers this feature and maybe switching over to them.
