SCORM 1.2 Suspend Data inconsistency
Oct 04, 2021
Hi there,
I need some help with SCORM 1.2 Suspend Data please... I have 5 different courses that have been developed in Rise 360 which we are running on our own LMS and on SCORM Cloud.
4 of the modules are only saving shortened Suspend Data on our LMS, whilst on SCORM cloud it saves out with much more detail (Pasted below).
1 of the courses does output the full Suspend Data on our LMS, so first thing I thought was that the settings for export were different - but they are all identical. They were all developed from the same course base.
If there's anything you can suggest, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew! Thanks for reaching out! Rise 360 doesn't put limits on suspend data (also known as resume data). Many LMSs don't enforce suspend data limits either, but some do.
You can export your course for SCORM 2004 3rd Edition or 4th Edition, both of which support much longer suspend data. If your LMS doesn't support SCORM 2004 and have a large course that exceeds suspend data limits, try shortening the course or splitting it into smaller modules.
Thanks for the response Renz, I was just trying to figure out why the exact same course on one platform would output a suspend data that is much shorter than it does on SCORM cloud.
As you can see, this part of the suspend data is identical: "cpv":"l_c5kMq-" where as what appears to be the chapter selection is incorrect. The lesson_location stores correctly, so it resumes to the correct place - it just doesn't remember which chapters have been completed. Our LMS doesn't have a restriction on suspend data length either.
I'll try outputting the course as SCORM 2004.
No, unfortunately SCORM 2004 didn't resolve the issue as our SCORM wrapper only supports SCORM 1.2. I tried to manually set USE_STRICT_SUSPEND_DATA_LIMITS to false, but it still only outputs the suspend data as {"v":2,"d":[34,34],"cpv":"anUUQhBf"}
Just tried launching with debug mode on, and the suspend data doesn't change even when you complete a chapter.
