What Does Suspend Data Do?

During the time a learner is involved with the content, it may be necessary to stop working in the Sharable Content Object (SCO). When the learner leaves the content, there may be a need to save specific data that cannot be stored using other data model elements. Without the ability to retain this content specific data already collected, it is possible that the learner will loose all completed work up to that point of exit from the SCO. By using Suspend Data, when the learner exits the content and re-enters, the data from the previous session will be available again. In other words, the learners will be able to re-enter the SCO at the same point in which they exited and retain the information from a previous session. This could include any activities, questions and answers, or other information from within the SCO.
