Hi Everyone. This is more looking for suggestions on how to solve a design issue. I recently spent about $100K to get a designer to build a course for me while I was busy upskilling in the software. They have delivered the course and left the organisation. I have now had a request to make what to the novice seems to be a simple change but looking at the build I cannot see the rules the designer has put in place or an easy way to make the change. What would you suggest I do now? This is a critical slide that involved calculations that people must get right to be able to proceed with the course.
As Matt stated, it is hard to advise you without seeing the course. Are you sure it is a SL course rather than Captivate? If it is SL, you could simply place a button on the screen prior to the required change and have the button show a new layer which contains the formula/example. Or, if you prefer just add a screen after the proper screen to insert and place your formula/example there or import a quick sim of the action onto that slot. Do you need to change other screens that used the formula, or any assessment questions that contain the formula? Try to provide this list with some more details so that you can get some help or as Matt suggested, give him a copy of the course. Matt has magic up his sleeve and can assist you.
If the course has been done in SL, I'd be happy to take a look at the issue. to be honest, I'm curious to see what a 100k course looks like. I do agree with Matt; however, that if someone charged you 100K to build a course they should be willing to help you out with a simple fix.
Thanks everyone - I will share the slide. It is a tricky situation as there was a limited time contract with a lot of terms and conditions. The developer is willing to help and has even given a bit of advice but has moved to another employer so our company wants us to deal with it separately if possible. The contract also involved more than this product but every other one is fine.
Hi - just wanted to thank everyone for their advice and support. Unfortunately I could not send the course out widely due to privacy restrictions but I did contact Mattew above and he as sorted it for me. What a great community!

You can also share the one slide here and someone will take a look at it.
