Storyline notify learners when they have lost internet connection

Hi Gerry,

This is a feature request that we are currently tracking.

I'll add this conversation to the report so that we can share any updates we have in the future with you here.

Please look at the demo I have created here: http://andersonelearning.com/demo/DetectInternetConnection-v1.0%20-%20Storyline%20output/story.html

I borrowed javascript code from this person's blog and modified it slightly. https://tutspack.com/internet-connection-detect-using-vanilla-javascript/

I have included the .story project file here. To add this to your project you can just copy the web object from my project to your Slide Master(off of the slide is fine), and add two variables two your project:

checkInternetStatusInterval - number variable, how often to check for Internet connection in milliseconds, default value is 5000 = 5 seconds, setting this number too low may cause false "offline" messages

internetStatusCheckResult - text variable, default value is "online"

Let me know if you have any problems with this and need me to make any changes.

 (I had accidentally uploaded the wrong project file, but have corrected that now.)

I just saw this after I made a post asking the same thing.  Has anything been updated for this yet?

Also I noted in my post if the connection is lost in FLASH version it gets stuck in an endless loop asking if you want to re-try or cancel, and you can not get out until the connection is re-established.  Is there not a more elegant way to allow exit if no connection?   Basically saying you have no connection, do you want to re-try or Exit.  Thanks

Hi Dale,

Thanks for reaching out! This feature hasn't made it to the top of our roadmap, but I'll be sure to add your voice to our report for this request, as well as the additional comment for re-trying or exiting.

Here's a bit more about how we work to prioritize feature requests.

I fully support a new HTML5 workaround as our LMS will allow users to continue and even complete lengthy eLearning modules without anything reporting back to the LMS. It's mostly due to user error but it is costly and frustrating. I am about to use the link above in order to make an official request.

This feature would be greatly appreciated.

This functionality is essential in my opinion.

+1 to this functionality request. It causes endless problems for us with both course completion and quiz reporting.

Hi, everyone!

I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 69, we’ve included important fixes and new features.

One of the enhancements we've included is:

To take advantage of this update, launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.

Please let me know if you need additional help!
