What are the things that affect resume where you left off and suspend_data?
I've spent a significant amount of time trying to figure out what are the things that affect the suspend_data element in Articulate.
I have a course in which the Resume where you left-off functio...
I did enable debug mode on Storyline and was able to watch how the suspend_data string was getting larger as I navigated through the course slides.
The course has about 30 minutes worth of content and then an assessment at the end.
I changed all slides within the course content (with the exception of 3) to Reset to Initial State. This is the one thing I found affects suspend_data the most. The suspend_data string stays at about a length of 2000, so that is really good. At least progress is saved to almost the end of the course, and users are not forced to watch the whole thing again.
The issue is that as soon as I get to the assessment, within the first two/three questions, the suspend_data string blows up over the SCORM 1.2 limit of 4096 and the debug file did flags the error right away.
I really don't want to change the assessment slides to “Reset to Initial State”. It’s just 12 Multiple choice questions, (T/F, single select and multi-select) nothing else; but nothing I’ve tried on those slides has worked.
In an assessment the text based answers become part of the resume data. I think using free form questions with text in shapes will reduce this and naming the shapes ABC etc may help.
This may not be fixable, perhaps you could add the assessment as a separate scorm
