If there are multiple learners completing the same course (eg. Foundation Coach Online course) on the same device and web browser, you may need to perform a hard refresh on the chosen web browser. This is because data stored on the system around a learner's course progress can transfer over to another learner when they go to complete the same course on the same device. This can cause issues for the second learner, particularly around completing modules and progressing through the course.
A website can become stuck with outdated information. In the learning management context, the data of a previous learner on a device, can be transferred over to the next learner. This can cause issues for the second learner, particularly around completing modules and progressing through the course. It’s easy to force your browser to completely reload its local copy of the page (cache) using a simple keyboard shortcut.
The below image highlights how to perform a hard reset on the main web browsers:
