Branching Scenarios - Storyline
Jun 14, 2012
Does anyone have any tips or best practices on creating branching scenarios in Storyline? I want to create a branching scenario where the user can choose from 3 options/paths, as they complete a path I want them to be able to return to the main menu and see the path they completed is checked or grayed out indicating they have completed the scenario (if the user exist the path early (doesn't complete all slides) then the menu would indicate the path is still incomplete). Any tips or examples you would be willing to share would be helpful, Thanks!

there is a demo in here that does that, best to use variables to track instead of the visited state
Thanks Phil I will take a look at the demo.
Thanks Phil! What a fantastic help!
Thank you Phil I saved it as a Storyline Template. You've done great work!
I am having trouble viewing Phil's demo. Is it still a valid link?
Not sure if it is still there, here is link to dropbox

I downloaded the file a couple of months ago. Here you go...
Thank you, Ayanne!
You are very welcome.

I can't seem to access any of these links or downloads.
I am still confused about how to branch.
Hi Ingrid!
Articulate Storyline lets you give learners feedback as they answer questions, then branch them to different parts of your course based on their responses. See this tutorial to learn how:
For anyone following along, looks like Ingrid is getting assistance here as well.
Hi all
I am thinking of using Storyline to create an adaptive learning course. That is, a learner is taken on different paths depending on his/her demonstrated competencies. Is this possible in Storyline? Has anyone tried anything like this on any kind of scale? Thanks.
Here is an example of a branching experience: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/solution-to-alternate-path-navigation
It branches in a set sequence, and as I understand your request, you would want create decision points. At these points, you would need to assess the learner's progress or competency. Then you would change the variable that controls the path from that point forward, and continue.
As always, the technical design of how to make SL jump through the correct hoops at the specified time is very simple. The true work comes in defining what the different competency levels are, how to recognize them, how much detail you want to get into with each path, which leads to the most important; how many path options can you, and do you want to provide.
Thanks, I will dig into this further.
