How to prevent Copy and Paste from published courses

May 29, 2019

Hi,  

 Is it possible to prevent copy and paste from course which are published on an LMS via a SCORM file?

I'd be interested in a response to this too. Renz (from Rise) gave this earlier tip:

 

"Hi Darren, if you publish a Rise course as a SCORM file, that file contains everything needed for the course, and learners can continue to take it even if you have canceled your Articulate 360 subscription. There is no longer a connection once you've uploaded your content to an LMS. 

That being said, here's a way to create a soft restriction:

You can try using an Embed Block or link out to something such as a Google Form that you have control of, at the start of the course. Then add a Knowledge Check and Continue block after the form that requires a confirmation word or specific answer.

 

You would need to add a "Fill in the Blank" knowledge check right after the form or link
Edit the "Thank You Response" of the completed Google form (or another form) to include some kind of password or code
Require "the block above to be completed" for the Continue Block

If the form is dynamic, you can edit the response of the completed form to no longer include the password or code in the future. This does not stop your client from sharing the password or code with their individual users if they know it."
