In an effort to determine course complexity, etc., I'm wondering if there is a way to capture and export various pieces of information/data from our courses in Storyline 360 course (e.g. # of triggers, # of layers, etc.)?
Unless you are getting paid by the layer, or by the trigger, I'm not sure how much value that sort of information would be to you. It doesn't help much with telling you what the learner faces, because it is entirely likely with a highly interactive course that some of those layers and triggers might not come into play.
Still, if you have your mind set on doing it, you might try HeroPrevail.
Thanks Walt. We are an internal training organization and attempting to gather metrics and development hours to help build course development thresholds.
If there is any criteria or information you can share to help determine course complexity aside from gathering some of this data, I would be very appreciative. Thank you.
I've never been a big fan of measuring the success of teaching or training by how difficult or how long it is. I realize that for the government, those seem to be valid metrics, so if you are working for a government entity, quantity not quality, is what matters.
No matter who we are teaching, or what we are teaching, the goal is not to pass information, but to develop in them the habits that characterize competent practitioners of the art (whether that art is running a machine, designing it, repairing it, or supervising those who do those things). Admittedly measuring that is MUCH more difficult than measuring how long they have been trained, without regard to the quality of that training. In reality what we should do is clearly identify what we want a successfully trained person to do, then design training to develop competency at that course of action.
For what it's worth, this is just my personal soapbox, and may not be exactly what you want.

I think there is a cost, but I have no connection with it.
