LMS Tracking Page and Quiz

Hi David,

Storyline only allows you to select one tracking option, but what about changing the navigation methods so that the user can't get to the quiz until viewing the rest of the slides? You could restrict the navigation within the course menu and on the individual slides as described in this tutorial:

1. When the Additional Options window appears, use the Navigation Restriction selector to choose one of the following:
   • Free: This allows learners to click on the titles in the course's menu to navigate to any part of the course at any time. They can view whatever slides they wish, in any order.
   • Restricted: This means learners can view the current slide and any slide they've previously viewed, but they can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides.
   • Locked: This means learners can only view the slides in the order you've designed. They can't use the menu to jump ahead or skip over slides, nor can they use it to skip back to any previously viewed slides.
2. Click OK when you're done.

Keep in mind that if you use Locked or Restricted navigation, this only affects your learners' ability to click on menu items to navigate. If your slides include a Previous or Next button, users will still be able to click those to move forward and backward in your course at will. To prevent that, there are a few things you can do:

• One approach is to remove the Previous and/or Next buttons from specific slides by changing the Slide Properties. Then, either make the slide advance automatically (which you can also do in the Slide Properties), or create your own Previous and/or Next buttons and use the Timeline to delay the buttons' appearance until the slide is finished playing.
• Another approach is to add a condition to the Next button's trigger, so that the button works only if a specific condition is met (such as the slide timeline ending). For more on how to add conditions to your triggers, see this tutorial.

Yes, we may have to consider something like Restricted Navigation.

I know it's possible to set up a button that is only active when a certain condition is met (e.g. the timeline on the slide ends). Is it practical for the condition to be "all slides in the course have been accessed"?

Hi David,

To set that up you'd need to track a variable per slide to indicate that they've all been visited. It would involve a similar set up such as the one described here, but a different variable for each slide.
