Please help me personalize a vocabulary activity

Hi Karen  you will use glossary tern in storyline

Hi Karen,

I think what you need to be able to do is to tell Storyline to track which words the learner claims to know and which they don't. To do this you can use variables which are activated by the visited state of your words.

You would then need to place all of the words on the 'words you know' slide and ensure they're all in their hidden state, then add triggers that say something to the effect of : 'change state of word1 to normal when timeline starts if variableword1==true'

Hope this helps

Hi Harri

Wow..thank you for that quick reply.

Thats more or less what I thought I had to do.But soo far no luck!

Still at it, havent given up yet.

Thanks!!!

Hi Ravi,  Thank you

but was is glossary term?

Hi Karen

This is a very quick mock up, hope it helps.

Hi Harri

It really helped. Now do you think its possible to create activities only with the words they clicked?

Like drag drop?

Or would it be way too complicated as I would need 10 different scenarios of the game.

Hi Karen,

You could use the same variables to change images and drop zones from 'hidden' to normal and only those images and drop zones in the normal state would be used for the interaction, however you may run into difficulty if you need to score the activity.

If you don't mind me asking, what age group/context are you developing the activity for? 

Hi Karen, 

I think what you're looking for is possible, without too much complication. 

I mocked up a version where the user checks off the words they know. When they check the box, the variable of that word changes to "True". I inserted one question slide for each word, and used a slide trigger that will basically skip the question if the user didn't select that word. This will ensure you only get questions for the words you checked off. If the user answers incorrectly, it changes the variable back to "False" when the user leaves the slide. 

Then a slide appears with all of the words that have the value of "False" (meaning the user doesn't know these words) and they can click each word to see a definition. 

Hope this helps! 

Note: If this is the type of interaction you'd be updating frequently with different word lists, I would use more generic variable names like "word1" and "word2" instead of the actual name of the word.
