I want the learner to use a slide to display 3 learning objectives. Could someone help me get started? My biggest hurdle is how do I set the slider up so that it has 3 stopping points and at each stopping point, a (hidden) learning objective is displayed.
I wonder if using a slider is the most appropriate way to display leaning objectives, but see attached an example that shows the mechanics of doing just that. Here is some info on using sliders.
A slider can be moved in two directions (left-to-right & right-to-left). This is typically used to move/rotate an object (or a group) back-and-forth/up-and-down, e.g. and image or a bar chart. If you move a slider left-to-right to display learning objectives that's fine, but what should happen if you move it in the opposite direction? Shoud the leaning objectives disappear again? Because if they don't, the slider would look 'broken' when you move from right-to-left.
Having said that, I have no idea what your actual content looks like so it may be perfectly fine to use a slider.
Completely see where you're coming from Michael. It's more of a functionality course and I don't have much to work with so I'm trying to add interaction where I can.
Your example is great and helped me a lot; if I wanted to have the custom Next button (initial state down) change to normal when the slide reached the 3rd learning objective, would I put the trigger on the Next button or the slide?
And, what's the difference between the trigger being on the Next button or the slide?
See attached a revised example. I added a custom Next button that starts out as Disabled and is only enabled when the slider value is 3. When a trigger is attached to an object, e.g. the next button then only this object can cause the trigger to be executed, e.g. clicking a button. Slide triggers on the other hand can be 'fired' by any object on a slide.

Thanks Michael,
May I ask why you say it's not an appropriate way to display learning objectives?

By the way, here are some examples of sliders.
Thank you so much Michael! You're always a pleasure to work with and learn from.
So glad that Michael was able to assist you here Katie :)
Katie, what's a functionality course? It's just my creative curiosity.
