Hi all,

I’ve created a course based on system compliance.

This is the scenario:

1. The course requires bookmarking (remember where the user left off if exiting early for some reason)
2. If they fail the course, they need to re-take the entire course, not just the quiz (we want them to learn the content, not just guess the answers several times)
3. The course has branches (different processes for different groups of salespeople)

This is the problem:

Users would like the option to resume from where they left off.

Enabling ‘Send Resume Data’ provides a way for the user to get back to the point where they last left off, that’s great. However, if they exit the course after viewing at least one question slide, it’s considered that they ‘attempted’ the quiz.  As a result, this marks the course as ‘Completed’.

I need a way for them to be able to get to the end of the course, answering the questions within the branch they are on and be able to fail. Only at this point should the course be considered as ‘Completed’.

This way I can use Completed (they got to the end of the course) vs Successfully Completed (they got to the end of the course and passed the quiz).

Using xAPI output, I only have the following three options to consider the course as ‘Completed’:

1. Quiz is attempted (if the user exits the course during the first question it considers this as ‘attempted’ so marks the course as completed – No good, as they can’t them resume from where they left off previously).
2. Quiz is passed (No good to me as I want the LMS to return the user to the beginning of the course if they fail).  Instead, they will be taken back to the final screen in a loop as the course isn’t classed as being completed, so they ‘Resume’.
3. Quiz is passed or the quiz attempt limit is reached (This one won’t be any good either as the user exiting the course anytime before the end of the course will mark it as completed)

I thought perhaps using Slide views % might help, although I suspect this won’t be branch aware and it will look at 100% as being the number of slides across the entire course, not just the specific branch they are going down, right?

Does anyone know of a way around this? I’m surprised there isn’t an option something like ‘Course is considered completed when user visits slide X’ or Quiz is passed.

I’d appreciate any help if possible please!

Thanks
