Storyline Suspend Data Compression
To provide more information about my freeze error for SCORM 1.2 in Moodle, I found that if a user (myself for testing) answers one of the essay questions in the activity and the user's response has an apostrophe in it (conjugation or used as a single quotes) the activity freezes on the loading dots when resumed without the resume button loading (modern player/html5). For some reason the single quote/apostrophe is being read as code and not as punctuation because the student_response is closed with single quotes:
cmi.interactions_0.student_response = 'I'm gonna try with apostrophe';
Not even sure where/how to tackle this issue. It could be how it's pushed from Storyline to Moodle via SCORMfunctions.js or it could be how the suspend data is formatted and pushed to back to the activity.
Yes, that is an excellent example of the issue I encountered with one of our customer's LMS systems but was dealing with the suspend_data specifically. The interface between the SCORM layer and that LMS system was doing a Javascript eval. So, when you do something like eval("cmi.interactions_0.student_response = 'I'm gonna try with apostrophe';") that will then lead to a Javascript error because there is extraneous characters following the variable assignment (in this case: just the 'I'). However, I wouldn't think that should effect reloading, but maybe it does. I haven't exactly studied whether Articulate resends interaction data from the LMS as it resumes - but I could see that if it did, it might present a problem upon reload. Anyway, good luck!
