Restrict the access to final Quizz in Storyline

Mar 11, 2014

Hello,

I hope you can help me.

I have created quite a long e-learning in Articulate Storyline and now I cannot find 2 things:

1)How to show the slide as "seen" or "completed" only when the timeline ends (now the slide appeared as viewed only when you click once on the slide title and then you leave it.. 

2) how to restrict the access to the final quiz - I would like the users to be able to access the quiz only when they visited all previous small quizzes and slides

I found the way how to do it in Articulate Presenter, but not in Storyline. Please tell me that I do not need to re-do the course again...

Thanks a million!!

Hi Sarka and welcome to Heroes! 

For your first question are you referring to how it is displayed in the menu or in a custom set up you have? If it's the built in menu, there is no way to change when a slide is considered "visited" - if you've created your own custom menu, you could set up triggers to adjust the state of the "slide object" (assuming title?) on the menu slide. 

To restrict access to the final quiz, again I'm not sure you're set up, but there are a few things you could do. You could restrict the navigation of the build in menu as described here:

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.

  1. 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.

 You could also set up a system where it's tracked based on a variable - so that at the end of each quiz a variable (say - Quiz1, Quiz2, etc) is adjusted from false to true - and once all the Quiz variables equal True then a link, button, etc. for the final quiz becomes usable.
