Show the learner what sections have been passed/ failed

Nov 12, 2014

I’m relatively new to building in articulate but I’m picking things up fast. My customer wants  a complex scenario in the course that shows the learner what sections they have passed and failed.

The course is split into eight sections. In the test, the pass/fail feedback will be provide per section, this is the replicated on the menu using the reference information. The purpose of this is to give the learner clear guidance on what section(s) they need to repeat  before re attempting the test. Although I’ve managed to create a version that almost works its over complicated and would involve the addition of countless numbered  variables to work of each of the courses eight sections. Additionally I’ve loaded the course to our LMS and its not recording properly. I'm sure there’s a much simpler way of achieving the same result and would really appreciate some help if others have built something similar.  

Here’s the requirements.

On the menu, I’ve added extra states to the section buttons so the following happens:

  • Section, learning completed  1st time– tick 
  • Section test passed – white tick
  • Section test failed – Book shown
  • Section revisited after test failed – Tick

I've added an additional set of states as the learner can access the test without completing the learning so these are as follows:

  • Test failed – learning not visited  - red book
  • Learning revisited – tick  

I’ve attached a slimmed down version of my course where I’ve added the variables for section 1 only. I’m pretty sure this can be created much more simply and any help to create this would be most appreciated as we would need to use the scenario several times.  If you need any further detail, please drop me a message .

I would put two variables on each chapters 
1) ChapterCompleted 
2) ChapterVisitedCount

On each test i also got two variable
a) TestPassed
b) TestTakenCount

Then i used this variable to trigger some different states on the menu-objects. 
1) Change State to Tick if ChapterCompleted=true AND chapterVisitedCount=1
2) Change state to whitetick if TestPassed = True 
3) Change state to Book if TestPassed=False and TestCount>0
4) Change state to TICK if TestPassed=False and ChapterVisitedCount>1

I hope you understand what i mean. I dont have time to create a sample right now. 
Remind me then i might do it later :D
