Everything we know about Cornerstone on Demand and Storyline!
I thought I would start a thread about Cornerstone on Demand so there's a central place for people to read and add to. There seems to be a dearth of information about how CSOD and Storyline interac...
I think that the triggers that actually communicate completion to the LMS are the "Submit results" trigger (if you "Track using a quiz result") and the newer "Complete course" trigger (if you "Track using complete course trigger"). We avoid tracking based on slide views because it causes too many support headaches when someone insists they viewed all the slides and we don't have a good way to dispute their assertion. I don't think it should matter how the course is exited as long as one of those triggers is in place.
I had no idea there was a new Complete course trigger, and I think my life is about to change because I hate the "based on number of slides viewed" for several of our courses that have optional branching and scenarios. ~~doo doo doooo... the more you know ~~~ Gotta love this forum!
I am using Storyline 3 and there is no Complete Course trigger.
Will, we're still not using 360 yet until it's approved and funded enterprise wide, so we are still using SL2. Is the "newer" complete course trigger not available in SL2? I haven't really looked or used it. We're converting to COD and I'm screening this thread for some intel in advance of UAT, some earlier posts about reporting and tracking issues have me concerned, hoping a lot of that has been ironed out in more recent times. Most of our existing content was published for Scorm 1.2 so hoping all that works well still in COD. I think our new std. will be to pub as Scorm 2004 v4.
I have SCORM 1.2 courses and they function within the CSOD. I use the "slide view" tracking option as my courses are very linear and rarely run into an issue. The main issue I have seen is that if a person has launched a course twice and has two windows are open of the course. If they complete the second opened course their progress isn't documented as the system is looking at the first course. If it sounds legitimate that they completed the course we just mark them complete.
We also have the short delay when closing out a course and I agree with Will that we have never really seen this as an issue and our users haven't expressed confusion either.
One additional note, CSOD supports 3rd edition. When you switch over to SCORM 2004 you will want to go with that.Hi Chris,
The newer complete course trigger is only available in SL360: https://articulate.com/support/article/storyline-360-course-completion-trigger
You are correct in thinking that a lot has changed in Cornerstone over the course of this thread. As Julie said, SCORM 2004 v3 is what to use in CSOD.
Thanks Will, I thought we were going to be using v4, any reason why you're advocating v3?
