Enable Resuming was created by ymoore
Hi

Can anyone tell me what the feature 'enable resuming' does? I imagined it to keep track of where I user gets to so they can resume from that point but each time an LO is viewed the URL changes to resume=1.

Does it have a different function?

Thanks
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne
if an author of an LO has enabled resuming then when a learner navigates each page the url ends with a direct link to that page so that they can bookmark a link to when they last viewed the LO and resume from that point by following their link.
It also means that an author can send different links to different learners to specific pages within an LO.
It's also quite useful when actually authoring e.g. having the LO open on a particular page and then just refresh after making changes in the editor. Typically that is quicker than re-loading the whole LO each time via the play/preview buttons.
Finally with an LO exported as SCORM in most VLE's the learner would be able to resume where they last left off if the attempt hasn't been tracked as completed. But that may vary by VLE/LMS and configuration etc.

That's cleared that up for me, thanks Ron.
