Course Notes/Issues

1. I experience freezing in the eLearning, fatal error. Cannot connect to iad.scorm server.		Answer: The eLearnings created rely on a format called SCORM which is constantly pinging Canvas' server looking for user data. If you are not logged in this will result in a fatal error that increases with regularity as you continue. Please log in to avoid these errors. Having multiple windows with the same eLearning open will also cause this error.
2. I can't complete the course, or the modules do not show as complete after I have viewed them.		Answer: Bruin Learn does not create guest accounts when users access the course anonomously. Please log if you want to check off each module as complete. There is no tracking in this course and all completed content is voluntary.
3. A slide won't progress and I am stuck in the eLearning.		Answer: If you encounter a slide that won't move forward, can't be progressed with the next button arrow or tells you to 'click here' but doesn't show anything. Please message us at ascend2@UCLA.edu with subject: eLearning Slide Error. We will quickly remedy this. You can also bypass this slide using the menu button in the top left.
4. My eLearning starts at a random slide when I have never visited this site before.		Answer: We have noticed that users on Remote Desktops and VPN networks are somehow being assigned saved states from previous users. We apologize for this experience. If you refresh this page, and click Restart (not Resume), this will reset your eLearning.
