Where is a retained variable value stored in SCORM publish?
July 10, 2009 12:00 AM
When you publish out to SCORM or AICC, all retained variable values are stored as suspend data by the LMS. The course does a LMSSetValue() call to send them to the LMS and when needed, the course will do a LMSGetValue() call to pull them back into the course. They are specific to each user, not machine.

When you set a variable to be retained across sessions in a course that is being published to SCORM and accessed via an LMS, is the retained variable value stored on the person's machine (as I think it is with other publishing options) or is stored on the LMS (in a way that connects the retained value to the specific user)?
I have something I'm trying to do with my e-course that I think I can figure out how to accomplish reasonably easily if the value is stored on the LMS and is unique to each user. However, if it's stored on the user's machine, then it won't work, because we often have learners using the e-courses on a classroom computer. (If that's the case, I'll be back here posting a much longer and more complex question to try to figure out how to do what I need to do.)
TIA!
