Exit Value — Time Out

During the design of the content, requirements may place a limit on the amount of time the learner is permitted in the SCO. If the time is exceeded, the learner attempt should end. The Exit value of time-out could be used when it is important for the content to be completed within a specified time limit, such as a testing situation when the learner is only allowed to interact for a set period of time. When the allotted time is exhausted, the SCO is required to exit and not allow the learner any more time in the attempt. If the learner enters the SCO again, it will be considered a new learner attempt. This means that any of the data collected in the earlier timed-out learner attempt will not be available.

The Exit value of time-out can be used in conjunction with the Maximum Time Limit and Time Limit Action Data Model Elements.
