Skip to main content

I'm losing my mind. All of our users have extreme difficulty dealing with TI's native OOTB course content because their navigation sucks. It's super easy to skip important content, it's hard to know what content you've skipped, it's causing endless support tickets.

Okay, fine, we have new content creation software, we will build everything in there (with proper navigation) and just build SCORM courses instead. We've started doing this, and support tickets are going down for those courses. Great! As long as we are creating a net new SCORM course, everything works fine.

Now, we want to go back through our backlog of TI-created content and replace it with SCORM files. If we create net new courses, we lose all of the configuration stuff and have to redo it (catalog settings, etc) and we also lose the data associated with the old version of the course - registrations, completions, etc. A lot of these courses are embedded within learning paths, so creating a whole new course and inserting it into the LP and removing the old one is really confusing for users who are already making their way through the learning path.

Okay, I think to myself, I'll go into our existing courses, delete the TI-created pages, and add a SCORM page to the course which contains all of the content. I haven't changed anything about the course container - the URL, the registrations, etc. Seems like the least disruptive way to do this.

So I create a single lesson course in TI:

 

Guess what happens? Thought Industry automatically display a "Next Section" button. What next section? This is the only section! In fact, selecting this button ends the course! Now users will end the course immediately instead of pressing the correct navigation button to continue progressing through the SCORM file:

Is there a way to prevent these stupid "Next Section" buttons from appearing in a course?

Hi Diana, 

I think a few things need to be address here but I want to start by saying hiding the "Next section" buttons is not an ideal solution in my opinion. I think understanding your usecase, our features and why you made some much CSS would help solve your issues.

I have a few examples below but I will reach out to your account team to let them know I think a call would be a good next step.

Notes:
It's super easy to skip important content

Have you tried either of the following?

  1. Force Linear progress will stop skipping across the whole course
  2. Prevent Course Progress is available on Assignments, Assessments and SCORM and will stop skipping on those pages. 
    1. You have this turned on but the SCORM is marked complete by just looking at it, which is why I am not prevented.

it's hard to know what content you've skipped

Your team has used a lot of CSS to hide the menu and lessons tab. The lessons tabs has indicators by default but you are not showing them for reasons I do not know. 

  1. Check mark: Shows that a section is complete
  2. Green Circle: Shows that a page is Complete
  3. Half Filled Orange Circle: Shows that a page is Not-Complete but has been viewed
  4. Empty Circle: Shows that a page is Not-Complete

Also not that page completion is 3 seconds by default but you can change this under settings.

 

Thought Industry automatically display a "Next Section" button

This is standard functionality so learners can progress from page to page, lesson to lesson and section to lesson. 

If you want to only SCORM you could use Standalone SCORM and not our course or MicroCourse.

Hope this helps.
