Can the course behaviour change depending on completion status?

Hello,

I have a few courses developed using Storyline. The courses are in SCORM 2004. Our LMS is SuccessFactors (SAP). 

Current scenario: 

Courses are running successfully, but the way I set the course, learners can skip to any of the topics (I only have one scene) freely, including the final slide, where they can click "Exit Course" to have marked as completed, so learners are not forced to take every single topic of the course. 

Reason for that: 

I need them to be able to take the course and to go back to it to visit the topics freely, using the course as resource. 

What I want to do:

I would like to set the courses in a way that if the learner has never completed the course before, they will have to take each of the modules, but if they have a "completed" status already, then they can navigate freely throughout the modules. 

Is that possible? I'm assuming I can create a trigger with that logic, but feeling a bit lost right now. 

 

Thank you.

If you set the navigation to Restricted, the user will have to go through the entire course in order. 

  • With Restricted navigation, the user can click the built-in Menu to return to any previously viewed slide. But they can't click the Menu to advance.
  • Also, the program will disable the NEXT button on each slide until the timeline ends. But that will only happen the first time the user visits the slide. (Note: it will work that way even if you don't show the built-in Menu. You can also use triggers to ensure the user finishes an interaction, if that's needed.) 
  • After the user completes the course by viewing all the slides, they'll be able to visit whatever slide they want/need to. 
  • The Navigation setting is in the Player: 

As long as your LMS lets someone relaunch a completed course, that should do what you want: ensure someone views the content the first time they go through the course, yet be able to view any content when they return.
