I have a review slide with four radio buttons. I created four separate slides for the learner to see depending on which button is clicked. That part seems to be working. Problem is, I don't know how to navigate from the sub-layer back to the base layer with the four buttons. The sub-layers each have PREV NEXT buttons but they don't do anything. This is my first module and I've been able to troubleshoot everything but this. Help, thanks!
depending on what the learners are doing on the layer
1. you could create a close button that the user clicks to return to the base layer.
2. If there is audio or video you could create a trigger to hide layer when the media completes
3. You could have a trigger to hide the layer when the timeline of the layer ends - this can get dangerous as the user is waiting for something to happen and might be trying to click the prev or next to progress.
hope that helps - If not feel free to upload your story file and someone can offer some other solutions for you.
I am fairly new to SL2 myself but some of my mistakes may be able to shed some light.
I believe you have some radio buttons on the base and choosing one will take you to a layer but then you are unable to get back.
I believe you could have used the previous button if you had used separate slides for the responses rather than layers.
As you have used layers, I assume each button "shows" a layer when the radio button is clicked. Is seems to me that you need a close button on each layer of some sort with a trigger that will hide the layer which will leave the base layer visible.
I have gone through a similar process and I have eventually decided to use 5 slides with radio buttons on the first, each of which opens a "lightbox slide" with the correct response. The lightbox has a close bottun built in and when pressed you will be taken back to the original slide.
I hope some of this may be helpful and good luck with the project. Others may have more incisive advice.
