How to Get In-Depth Analytics in Moodle With Customised External Reporting Solutions

If time runs out before they reach the last slide (they are being asked to click on hotspots), I need to mark the SCORM module incomplete (and complete if they reach the last slide in the appropriate amount of time if thy clicked on all the right hotspots)  Is there a way to subtract a point from the score when the timer […]

I am grateful for any […]
