Learning Module: Option for Starting Behaviour

1 Initial Problem

With the feature Continue as default learning modules always start at the last position of the user, when its title is being clicked. Unfortunately for some institutions / scenarios this is not an acceptable behaviour (here: machinery documentation).

2 Conceptual Summary

A global setting should make it possible to switch between two behaviours when clicking on the title of a learning module:

• Start at the position when the learner has left the learning module last time (current behaviour in ILIAS standard)
• Start at the beginning.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

• Adminsistration > Learning Resources
• Repository: Content Views

3.2 User Interface Details

Administration > Learning Resources

• New drop down option "Starting Point for ILIAS Learning Modules", Options "First Page" and "Last Visited Page".

• Depending on the setting clicking on a learning module title will bring the user to the first page or to the last visited page.

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

No new user interface concepts.

4 Technical Information
