Closing SCORM page direct settings - Moodle or Storyline?

Closing SCORM page direct settings - Moodle or Storyline?

Hi All,

Another quick question.

Does anyone know if it's possible to set which page the user is directed to when they close a SCORM pop up window - via Moodle? Or can this only be set when you're publishing from Storyline?

Again, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeyda,

Storyline does not know anything about the structure or pages of your Moodle site because the Storyline project is created outside of the Moodle learning management system, and is designed to be independent of any LMS configuration. So there is no way for Storyline to know where to redirect the user. The file just closes and the user is returned to the Moodle page.

It is possible to control redirection inside Moodle, depending on how you display the Storyline module.

  1. If you display the Storyline module in a new window, when you close that window you go back to the same Moodle window where you started.

  2. If you display the Storyline module in the current window, the course breadcrumb trail will be at the top of the screen and the user can navigate using that.

  3. If you know the exact URL to which you want to redirect the student when a Storyline module is closed, you can create a button in your Storyline project with that URL as the trigger link (e.g. you want to redirect the student to a Moodle Quiz or Forum).  That will take the student directly to the linked activity, but it will open in a new window. This can create a situation in which multiple Moodle windows are open at the same time.

  4. There is another possibility... You can create a Moodle HTML block in your course with links to the destination to which you want to send the student. You must set the HTML block display option to 'Any page'. The block will then display on the Storyline module page, if you open the Storyline module in the current window. You could then have your Storyline file display a message for the user to click the link in the HTML block on the page.

  5. One final thought. The above comments apply if the Storyline project is published as a SCORM package. If you don't need the Storyline project to communicate back to Moodle (e.g. a quiz score or completion results), then the Storyline project can be published as HTML. Then you have many more options for redirection.

So, this has been quite long. There are many options, but no option is optimal. I would have to know more about your course and Storyline project to come up with other ideas.

this has come up a few times - Ideally I'd like to provide a setting to allow the teacher to control this - I thought we had an open tracker issue that was related to this but didn't see one so have created: MDL-61677 - feel free to vote/watch that issue for updates. It's not something I'll probably have time to work on as a volunteer but someone else might do some development and submit a patch? 

You may also consider contracting a Moodle Partner to develop the feature and submit it to core for you.
