    Error: Video stopped/frozen

    This issue may be experienced when a user is disconnected from the server while attempting to download video content for their course, resulting in a corrupt file. The program will remain responsive to user interaction including menu navigation and lesson selection but specific videos may only partially play regardless of how many times they are reloaded by the user. The fix for this issue is to remove the corrupt files from your internet cache.

    After logging the student out of the course begin by selecting “Tools” from the top of your web browser window. Find the Internet Options and click on it to open the options window.

    Error: Question frozen

    On occasion, after a question has been answered during the learning portion of the course the system will sit idle and not progress forward to the next question or to the end of the module. If this occurs press the Help button in the top right hand corner of the course three times. The first time the button is pressed the “How to use” video will play, pushing the button a second time will end the video and return you to the course. Pressing the button a third time will trigger the system to check for a stall in the loading process and allow it to proceed.

    Quiz not opening

    Access to the quiz is based on completion of all of the corresponding lessons within a given module before a proctor is even able to unlock a quiz for the user. Progress is tracked at the end of each lesson, marking it complete as the user moves into the following lesson. On occasion a user may find that they reach a quiz with all of their lessons checked off as complete but their quiz remains locked.

    In order to determine the cause of the error an administrator will need to log into the website and select the user’s name followed by the Lessons sub-tab to the right of the Users list. A series of objectives will be displayed, showing the student’s progress. Lessons that are complete are marked as Yes, incomplete lessons will be marked as No. Even though a user may see all of their lessons marked complete on their end a quick look at this tab will show you which lessons are incomplete and must be viewed again in order to allow them to access the quiz.

    Screenshot 

    In the example above, the user will need to review the Employer Responsibilities and Reporting Requirements lessons in order to be able to access the quiz for this module.
