Using Variables to change course direction

Hi,

I have created a course which has two paths due to the processes and branding for the two business areas, the delegate can select the path at the beginning but the quiz at the end is identical. Should someone take the quiz and get it wrong it will redirect them to a page where they can review the answers and also go back and redo the course.

What I would like (and I am not sure it is possible) is that when they click on the Re-do Course button, it knows if they clicked the CR button at the beginning and takes them to the 2nd path...is this possible using variables?

If not then I'm going to probably just duplicate the quiz and finish scene for the 2nd path.

Thanks

Nic

Hi Nicola,

You should be able to do this using a single variable that is triggered to change when one of the items on the screen that allows the delegate to select their path is selected.

Assuming that you have two buttons, one for each business area, you can create a T/F variable, call it 'Business1' (or something similar) and set the default value to FALSE.

You can then add a trigger to the item that launches the business area 1 content that adjusts 'Business1' to TRUE when the user clicks it. Then, on your 'Re-do course' button at the end of the quiz, add two triggers; one that jumps to the business area 1 content when clicked, but on the condition that 'Business 1' equals TRUE; and another that jumps to the business area 2 content when clicked, but on the condition that 'Business 1' equals FALSE.

I hope this helps
