Resolving Session Errors When Launching E-Learning

Overview

Session errors when launching e-learning content are typically caused by browser settings that block the communication between Learn Amp and the e-learning package. This guide explains how to resolve these errors by adjusting your browser configuration.

Functionality Breakdown

What Causes Session Errors?

Session errors occur when:

Third-party cookies are blocked in your browser

Clear cached images and files
Restart the browser and try launching the content again

FAQs

Q: Will allowing third-party cookies affect my privacy?
You can add Learn Amp specifically to your allowed list rather than enabling all third-party cookies globally.
