Locked/Unlocked Topics
Jul 18, 2013
Hello!
We've recently purchased a Storyline licence (yay!) and I wanted to know if it were possible to build a course that has several topics available and one topic locked. In order to unlock this topic, learners need to complete the other topics (in any order).
If it's possible, would someone be able to tell me how to do this or point me in the direction of some instructions?
Cheers
Matt

Hi Matt - welcome to Heroes
This can be easily achieved by using a couple of variables and using these to control the state of the locked topic button.
In the attached example, I have done the following:
As you have only recently purchased SL, you may not be too familiar with working with variables, states and triggers but there are some great tutorials available:
Working with variables
Adding True/False variables
Adding and Editing States
Adding and Editing triggers
I hope this helps!

Hi Matt
I notice you are in Australia, have you considered the Certified Articulate Training provided by B Online? http://bonlinelearning.com.au/
We (Omniplex www.omniplex.co.uk ) are the Certified Articulate Training Provider in UK & Europe and I know this exact scenario is covered in training, along with a whole load of other fabulous stuff

Hi Antony and Helen
Thank-you both for your responses. One of the reasons that I wanted to use Storyline to produce our e-learning was the wonderful, helpful community of users that are there if you get stuck with something!
Antony,
Thanks for the links to the tutorials. I've seen a couple of other ones and they are great. Thanks also for the example file. While it looks a bit complicated, I'm sure that once I'm more familiar with Storyline it will seem a lot easier.
Helen,
I am going to enrol in the next training course in Sydney with B Online Learning. By the look of the outline there are lots of interesting things covered!
Cheers

No problem Matt.
When I first started using SL, the prospect of using variables and triggers completely daunted me. But, through trial and error and the wealth of experience and knowledge you will find in Heroes, I'm sure you will soon pick it up.
Good luck!

Here's another example - a menu that opens up as you go along.

Thanks Bruce!
I like how you can have a small tick appear to signify the topic is complete. I'll use that feature in my course as well.
Cheers
Matt
