Course with multiple test routs

Hello...I have created a course for our LMS that has generic info to start, but then offers 5 different paths depending on the office our employees work in. Each office has different information for their path, herein lies the issue.

I need to test each employee on their specific information. The tests are different and the employee will only sit their test. I cannot find a way to have 5 different tests (that have to be at the end of the learning) within one course, and have the course record them as passed or failed when reporting it to the LMS.

Is there a way (because I've tried most things i can think of) to make it so that i can have 5 tests that don't interfere with each other, or mark a user as failed because they haven't sat the other tests?

Hi, Dan,

Can you can accept marking the course as only pass/fail (i.e., you don't need test scores)? If so, there's a solution to your problem.

  • Let the learner choose their path. For programming simplicity, each path could be in its own scene.
  • Include the appropriate test at the end of each path/scene.
  • After the user passes their test, enable a button that takes them to a final scene.
    • If you have Storyline 360, you can add a trigger to mark the course as complete. So the final scene could simply be a closing "Thanks for participating!" slide.
    • Storyline 3 doesn't have that trigger. In that case, you can add a final quiz for "scoring" the overall course. Here are some options:
      • Use an acknowledgment statement (e.g., "Do you acknowledge that you understand the material in this course?") as the question. If the learners answers "Yes," they pass. If they answer "No" (which is not likely), they're prompted to review the content.
      • Set up a question slide that doesn't look like a question slide, i.e., make it look like some other type of interaction, and have the NEXT button perform the SUBMIT trigger. Be sure to design it so there is only one choice: the correct one. Or have the Results slide set so the passing score is 0%.
      • Set up question slide with the question part off screen or hidden by another object. Include a trigger that selects the correct answer when the timeline starts. And have the NEXT button perform the SUBMIT trigger.
