Using engage to branch my training

Apr 14, 2015

I believe there is a way to use Engage to branch your training but can't seem to find the right help links.

I'd like to allow the user to select one of four subtopics. Each topic will have multiple slides, videos and a quiz. At the end of each subtopic, the user is returned to the initial selection page and asked to pick a new subtopic. The training needs to track which subtopics have been covered and the training is not completed until all four subtopics are completed. I know how to do this using hyperlinks but that doesn't track which subtopics have already been reviewed. What terms do I use to search for help on how to do this? I've tried several terms such as branching but had little success.

Thanks,

Hoan

Hi Hoan!

I'm not familiar with the utilization of Engage to create branching options as you mention.

Here's how to choose feedback and branching options in Articulate Quizmaker '13.

I'm not sure how you would track visiting these subtopics via this method.

A linear course utilizing Presenter and Quizmaker will not work for your course? You could then:

Set the navigation to Restricted to insure that the learner went through all the material
Insure that the user passes/completes quiz before moving to another topic

Hi Leslie,

A linear approach would work, but I'm trying to make the training more
interesting and keep it from looking like a PPT presentation. Someone told
me that this can be done with Engage but I haven't been able to find out
how. It's possible that he's wrong and I have to bite the bullet and buy
storyline.

Well, perhaps someone can assist you, but I do know that Storyline can do what you're asking for sure :)

Also, please note that responding to the forums via e-mail attaches your signature, but you are welcome to pop in and edit if needed.
