When SCORM is set to open in a new window and the window is then closed, it should return to the content structure page underneath (Skip content structure is NOT enabled, Display Course Structure in Player is Disabled and Auto-Continue is set to NO) and refresh status shown on the content structure page so that grades and completion information is updated.
Presently after opening the New Window, Moodle navigates to a page that reads "if you have finished viewing this resource, click here to return to the course page" which redirects the student back to the course home page.
