Better Security: Protecting Course Modules in Adobe Learning Manager
Interested in keeping course materials secure post-completion? As an eLearning developer, maintaining the integrity of training programs by restricting access to finished modules is crucial. A recent blog post introduces a smart workaround using SCORM content and settings in Adobe Learning Manager (ALM) to lock course modules effectively.
The main point to grasp here is the need to control access to course information once learners finish a module. This control prevents unauthorized use of training materials outside designated sessions. Through SCORM content and adjustments in ALM, you can take charge of access and secure your course modules comprehensively.
Ensuring Maximum Security with SCORM Content
Start by readying your SCORM content. Tools like Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate can assist in packaging your training materials as SCORM content for compatibility. Setting the slide behavior to “Show Last Visited Slide” upon revisit is vital for guiding learners seamlessly back to where they left off instead of starting anew.
Implementing Multiple Attempts and Locking Techniques
By activating the “Multiple Attempts” option in the course settings, learners can try the course again within set limitations. Utilizing the sub-option “Stop new attempts once module is completed & passed” effectively locks the module post-completion. This feature ensures learners cannot restart the course and maintains content confidentiality.
Important Aspects to Consider for Locking Course Modules
While whole courses cannot be locked in ALM, individual modules can be secured using the method outlined. Accurate progress tracking with SCORM content is essential for the locking mechanism to operate correctly and report completion status back to ALM.
To summarize, although Adobe Learning Manager lacks a direct course-locking feature post-completion, leveraging SCORM content with the multiple attempts setting provides a practical solution. By using this method, you can safeguard training materials and ensure that learners access content only during their scheduled training sessions.
