Bookmarking and starting from where learners leave off or starting completely over is your choice - or you can let it be your learner's choice

In elearning courses it's pretty typical that if the learner quits a session partway through a course, when they launch it again in the LMS they will be brought back to where they left off and can continue on from there.

In SCORM language, this is referred to as Auto Resume.

You might have contexts, though, where you don't want this behavior, and instead you do want the learner to start again at the beginning in a new session.

You might even want to give the learner a choice of either option. After all, if a long time has passed since the previous session, they might feel it's better to start all over.

You can control these options in the Publishing Profile.

In the Publishing Profile's Navigation section is an option, AutoResume.

It has three settings:

  • On - The learner will be taken to where they left off in the course in their previous session. This is the default setting.
  • Off - The learner will be required to start at the first page of the course when they launch it for a later session
  • Prompt - the learner will;l be shown. dialog box asking if they want to return to where they left off or start from the beginning. 

This article explains how to access the Publishing Profile settings as well as open the Publishing Profile Editor:

How can I control the timing of the appearance of elements on the page? Is it through an action or is this done on the timeline? I would like the page content section to appear about 1.5 seconds after the page loads.

xAPI State Data or where is that bookmarking information?
2020-08-03

If you are familiar with SCORM, you know that bookmarking information is stored in CMI.Sessions information as a blob of data the course sends and recalls so it can properly bookmark and remember elements of what happened in the course the last time a learner took it.

Resource Link - Find Location in Course?
2023-12-27

Some Themes have the capability to view the Resources (including both documents and links) which is nice because the system automatically compiles them.
Is there a way to find out what page the link is coming from though? Perhaps via a report or something else that I'm missing?
This would be useful if someone reports a broken link found within the resources menu, but we dont know what slide that link is on. It would also help us find links that we possibly forgot to add a title to (and theref...
