Get Learner Input with These 6 Number Variable Examples
Variables are a super-powerful feature in Storyline 360 that help capture and track learner information like names, question answers, number of attempts, and scores. With number variables, e-learning developers can create dynamic courses based on numbers that learners type into a box (or other actions they take), making for a totally personalized experience—no coding required.
Course creators can even use number variables to bring game-like elements into the learning environment. For instance, have learners choose items to create a meal under a time constraint or fulfill pizza orders for hungry customers by entering the correct fractions. There’s no limit to what you can create; just take a look at these six number variable examples by the skillful members of the E-Learning Heroes community to see what’s possible.
