Restricting user to take up a course after 24 hours

Once user fails in a course, then I would like to block the course for 24 hours and after that restiction user can re-attempt the failed course. What I understand is, there should be a user variable which would communicate with LMS and the SCORM publisher tool. This variable should control the restriction condition. By any chance can someone give an insight on the generic user variable required. Or I have all ears if there are other easy ways to solve this scenario. Currently we are using both internal SCORM publisher and LMS, but the variable required should be generic in nature, right?

No I haven't created one  yet, but unable to find the solution for controlling this time factor. Any other solutions to achieve the time restriction target?


You have to look at the LMS, I don't see an easy way to do it within the Captivate course at all. Maybe with JS, but not sure

This type of restricted access is something I would set up in the LMS for sure.

Yes I totally agree with you on that. But needed some hints on the user variable that would communicate between Captivate and LMS... The generic one!!

Any ideas on the user variable?

User variable? Did you create one? User variables are created by the user, have nothing to do with communication with the LMS. The only user variables that are captured from the LMS (if it allows it) are cpQuizInfoStudentID and cpQuizInfoStudentName.
