Though the latest release of Articulate Storyline 360 or 3 came with a bunch of new features, there are still a few that are not available natively. One of them is a Course timer, which allows learners to view the time they have spent in a particular course.

Overview

Please note that time is only tracked from the point at which this module is activated, and only for as long as it stays active. Historical records are not available; time tracking is only possible when this module is turned on.

Do what feels good for you — you can always return to our article and try something else in the future.
