Pop-out window blocking the "Online Course Details" page warning messages - solutions?

[whchuang]

Hi everyone, thanks for reading this question/thread.

I'm wondering if others also have similar issues like this. If we have an ELN (eLearning) or VIDEO (VID) course, when the learner launch the course, the SCORM (or video) pop-out window would actually block the warning message of:

Your course will open in a new browser window, do not close or refresh this window...

Here is a sample screenshot:

To me, this is really bad design, as we have found that some of our novice factory workers (who never uses LMS systems before), they will NOT see that yellow box warning message, and some of them thought that they should just focus on the new pop-out window and may just close the "mother" window (Online Course Details window). When that happens, of course we know that they can still watch the entire video or complete the SCORM course in the new pop-out (child) window, but the completion status would never get communicate back to the "mother" window (LMS) successfully. Is there a good solution/work-around about this issue? Thanks!

We have faced this same issue. I imagine that the new Course Home will eliminate that since all the elements will be on a single screen. We haven't moved to new Course Home since there seems to be some limitations at this time.

Yes, even we have faced this issue in the past. However we have enabled the new COURSEHOME page to address this issue; once the learner clicks on the 'Start Course' button the content page is displayed. Below is the screenshot for the same.

Thanks for your reply. Any idea when the new Course Home will be available to customers? Does SAP provide any "beta" program where we can help to test it out? If someone already have a sample screenshot of how that new Course Home would look like, can you please share a screenshot? Thanks!
