[Xerte-dev] Learning Object resume function

[Smith, John]

Hi all,

Have now committed some code which gives an optional "Enable resume" property for the LO that simply adds #resume=xxx (where xxx=page number) to the URL client side. I've only done this in the Javascript engine just now and just for Nottingham template to see if it's useful. #resume= takes priority over page=, pageID= or linkID=

Ron - would be interested to know what kind of parameters/data you would need to store to allow deep resuming into Articulate (and potentially other models).

Tom - do you see this fitting with what you wish to do with SCORM?

I'm considering encoding the resume string to prevent tampering and we could also encode some model/scorm specific stuff in there I suppose.

If someone can test and feed back then i'd appreciate it.

Regards,
