cmi.suspend_data

Note that this value is NOT saved in the database.

 

This seems to be the string that holds the raw data for each question answered. As the quiz goes on, the string length increases as the previous data string is appended to the latest data string.

 

In Presenter (embedded with Engage widgets and QuizMaker quizzes) documents, the suspend_data is also used to store the values of each user interaction that takes place. For example, it saves the order of how the slides are viewed.

 

In Engage widgets, this determines the completion_status value. There is an option that allows the widget creator to set the minimum number of slides (or items) viewed before marking it as complete. Once the suspend_data value is set to have viewed the number of slides necessary to be considered complete, the completion_status is set to “completed”.
