Progress bar and free navigation

Jan 14, 2014

Hi everybody,

I'am developing an elearning course including 25 screens splitted in 4 sequences.

My problem:

- I absolutely need a progress bar to show the learner his progression in the whole module. It should appear on each screen

- The navigation is free, which means I can't use a simple way to do it.

For instance, if the learner visits 2 screens in sequence 1, then jumps to sequence 2 and see 2 screens and then goes to the sequence 3, for instance, I need the progress bar to displays the state corresponding to 5 screens visited

With the only way I know, if I visit 5 screens and then use the previous button, or I jump directly to the last screen, the progress bar does not displays the real number of screen I visited.

I attach an example of the method I used, if someone can correct it, it would be so great

thanks in advance

Hi Genia,

The description of your course doesn't seem to match up with the example you shared, as there was no menu on that one? I enabled the player menu, set it to free navigation, and I also set the slide properties to on revisit "resume saved state" and when doing so I was able to jump back to slide 2 from slide 8 and the progress bar didn't change (as expected with this set up). You may also want to look into the custom progress bars included in this thread.
