Fastest way to branch slide after passing/failing quiz

Nov 22, 2013

I know in Presenter this is an easy feature.  For storyline, is there a quick way to branch slides after a quiz in storyline?

PS: There will be multiple quizzes in the module.

Thanks!

Hi Jay:

From your Results slide, the quickest and easiest way (i.e. no custom triggers, scripts, or variables requierd to be created) turn off teh Next button in teh player and add your own Next button on each Pass or Fail  layer. The Pass button trigger will jump to one slide and the Fail button trigger will jump to a different slide.

Hi Jay:

Without actually doing the work for you, here is a framework for you to follow:

Create a T/F Pass variable - F by default

Create a T/F Fail variable - F by default

In your Results slide, create triggers that execute at start of timeline:

  • If PassPercent  is equal to or greater than ##, then set Pass equal to true
  • If PassPercent is less than ##, then set Fail equal to true
  • Show Layer Pass if Pass is equal to True
  • Show Layer Fail if Fail is equal to True

For the Players Next button, modify the existing Jump to Next slide (if this does not exist, just uncheck and recheck the Next checkbox in the slide Properties panel - it will recreate the trigger for you).

Add conditions to that trigger as follows:

If Pass is equal to True, then Jump to Slide #

If Fail is equal to True, then Jump to another Slide #

Hope this gives you enough to be successful.

Hi Jay:

You can create a new variable with a script that will add up all the percentages, then divide the sum by the number of quizzes.

The resulting value can be stored in that new variable.

You would then make one of your PassPercent Variables equal the value of that new variable.

When the user exits the course the new PassPercent value would be sent to the LMS.

Hi Jay:

In my last post, I somehow thought you were trying to combine scores. My mistake ;(

Correct me if I am wrong, relative to your original question...

You are looking to branch a course based on the quiz results of each quiz, and now are asking if Storyline recognizes each quiz result variable independently.

The answer is yes

If you go to your Global Variables (the X button in the Triggers panel), you will see there are variables numbered in accordance with the order you created the quizzes.

You can use my original answer to modify the Next buttons for each quiz result.

Hope this clarifies things for you.
