The course I'm creating has two learner paths - general user and supervisor. The only difference between the two branches is that the supervisor has additional content at the end of the course. I want to offer learners the chance at the beginning of the course to choose their "role" in the system and take the appropriate training. I don't want the branching to begin at the end of the general user content. Is there a way to do this in SL?
Menu slide > ask learner for their role, i.e. general or supervisor. Assign this to a variable, e.g. role.
Learner goes through the core of the course that remains the same for both roles.
On the final slide (or maybe the one after - depending on what happens on that final slide) > check variable > if role = general then finish (or go to a conclusion/assessment slide/section). If role = supervisor then carry on with the supervisor-specific slides before moving on to your conclusion/assessment where necessary.
The power of variables really is enormous in SL. They enable you to 'change' the story/course as it evolves depending on the choices/options/decisions/answers the learner provides.
WOW!!! Thank you SImon!! I didn't realize you could do that with variables! My managers are going to be amazed! Thank you, Storyline, for making me look good

Hi Eileen
Here's one way to do this:
