Elearning configuration options explained

Prev Next

When creating new eLearning content, there are several configuration options available to control how learner progress is tracked. Below are two key options you can enable, depending on your tracking needs.

Prevent Resuming Attempts

This option allows you to force a new attempt each time a learner launches the eLearning module, rather than allowing them to resume where they left off.

By default, most learning platforms store suspend data once a module is completed. If a learner relaunches the module, it typically opens in Review Mode, meaning no new tracking occurs. Enabling Prevent Resuming Attempts overrides this behaviour.

Note:

When this option is enabled, learners will not be able to resume progress mid-way. They must complete the content in a single session.

Log Changes to Lesson Status

This option is designed as a workaround for eLearning modules that do not reliably record completions using standard tracking methods.

When enabled, the platform will send an xAPI statement as soon as the lesson status is set, rather than waiting for LMSCommit or LMSFinish calls.

Important:

  • This method is not SCORM-compliant.

  • Many SCORM packages set lesson status multiple times in quick succession. To handle this, the platform deduplicates calls, but incorrect status settings could result in inaccurate tracking.

This option should only be used when other tracking methods, such as the default configuration or Prevent Resuming Attempts, have failed to work reliably.
