Timing how long an interaction takes.
So my courses have to be timed for credit. I have an interaction which include several slides and pathways. I want to be able to make sure that the participants spend a certain amount of time going ...
Hi All,
I'm venturing - no really I'm tip-toeing - into Execution of JavaScript. And since I no NOTHING about it, I'm simply using what y'all offer here and C/P into the JavaScript box.So, I really appreciate the Q/A.
I know enough to understand that the trigger names must match the characters inside the Javascript window, e.g., in the case of the gsStart trigger, it matches the characters inside the first set of quotation marks in the player.SetVar line:
player.SetVar("gsStart", d.getTime());
So, I successfully implemented a trigger that shows how much time was spent on a previous slide when the Learner clicks the next button - and to display the time on the next slide. Essentially, I copied what you did, Berno, but using the next button instead of Submit.
What I really want to do is to have a counter that displays a number of seconds count on the current slide. So, nothing would be clicked, it would just count up in seconds. And I'd reference the count inside a text box.
I'd searched the forums a while back for this but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. Perhaps I missed it. Does anyone know how to do this?
And thanks again.
